Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have begun to reign—and that without us!”
(1 Corinthians 4:7-8)

My stupid, blind, unreasoning pride, Jesus!

Where does it come from?

Certainly not from You.

I do believe

it has the sulfurous smell from the fiery pits of hell
all over it.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy passion:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure…Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

It’s not the stuff I build that lays up heavenly treasure, is it, Jesus?

It’s the people You work through me to build

who are living Your overcoming life!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful perspective:

“So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”
(1 Corinthians 3:21-23)

It’s okay for us to be grateful for the leaders You’ve so gifted, Jesus

but not to put them on a pedestal of worship.

You’ve gifted us all…even me!

May I never forget that.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: ‘God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.’”
(Romans 2:21-24)

O Holy Spirit!

Is there anything I’m doing – or not doing –

that causes unbelievers to think less of You?

If so, I beg You to show me!

In Your Holy Name, dear Jesus!

Amen!

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…if you rely on the law and boast in God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children…”
(Romans 2:17-20)

You’re kind of hard on those of us who think we’re “all that,” aren’t You, Jesus?

as well You should be.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“‘Go to Bethel and sin; go to Gilgal and sin yet more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three years. Burn leavened bread as a thank offering and brag about your freewill offerings—boast about them, you Israelites, for this is what you love to do,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.”
(Amos 4:4-5)

On the cusp of this New Year, Jesus

I’ve got to remember it’s not enough to jump through the hoops.

For You…

it’s all about my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.”
(Hebrews 3:6)

I love being part of Your house, Jesus!

I long to be one of Your favorite reasons to remain faithful

as I hold on to my courage
during the worst times

and as I keep boasting about You
even on those occasions when my faith
has not yet become sight.

Pray this Lazaroo with new direction:

“…they boast about themselves…”
(Jude 1:16)

I need to become a better boaster, Jesus!

Not about myself.
About You.

Oh, sure, I routinely say nice things about You

but I want to break out of my routine!

Show me how to take my boasting about You up a notch.

Make that many notches!

It starts with becoming more aware of the countless things You’re doing for me and others, doesn’t it?

Help me see it –

so I can proclaim it!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…human pride brought low…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

There’s a kind of pride that is good, wholesome, healthy, Jesus.

It’s being proud of You.
It’s being proud of what You do.
It’s being proud of what You enable others to do.

But human pride takes no notice of You.

Human pride puffs itself up
boasting that all its achievements come from itself.

Godly pride points to the heavens to acknowledge You.

Human pride pounds on its own chest

until it collapses.
