Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“So man will be brought low and mankind humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:9)

Kinda good for me to keep that in mind, Jesus.

When You generously gift me
then bless me on top of that

I can begin to take if for granted
forget from Whom my blessings flow
get full of myself

…which forces You to back off on Your blessings

until I get my nose out of the air
my head screwed back on straight
and my heart right.

Pray this Lazaroo in horrified realization:

“Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.”
(Isaiah 2:7)

…as is true of us, Jesus!

In developed countries
even our poor have cars and big screen TVs.

In third-world countries
leaders reach out to the world on cell phones.

But as with Judah and Jerusalem

our riches have lied to us, distracted us, sidetracked us.

How many of us, once faithful to You and so blessed

have turned Your blessings into idols?

Stay focused as you pray this Lazaroo:

 “But you have turned from the way…”
(Malachi 2:8)

Your way is the only road worth traveling, Jesus –

where joy arises
where growth occurs
where good takes place
where people are healed
where hope springs eternal
where amazing things happen
where bad people become good
where good people become great
where nobodies become somebody
where broken relationships are restored

Why would I ever turn from Your way?

            There is not one good reason
            In all this sick old world.

Seek true perspective, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“After he has honored me…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

That’s what comes first, isn’t it, Jesus?

Or at least it should.

First I honor You

then You honor me.

You’re first.

I’m last.

You’re the head.

I’m the tail.

You’re the top.

I’m the bottom.

But all too often I get it backwards.

I wait to thank and praise You
until I notice You’ve done something I like

shamefully overlooking the countless blessings with which You shower me

every single day.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“‘The LORD bless you!’ they called back.”
(Ruth 2:12)

Just a greeting, Jesus…

unless the people who speak it
mean it.

Then it’s a prayer –

a prayer You love to answer.

When the person who offers up that greeting loves You

that’s a prayer You find it hard to resist.

I forget what a powerful thing it is to bless someone

‘cause there are some people in my life who desperately need me –

and You –

to do just that.
