Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear.”
(Isaiah 2:17)

Oh, how I long for that day, Jesus!

when I finally rid myself of the idols
that continue to lurk inside my heart.

I’m repulsed by the graven images I see all around the world.

But the ugliest and most detestable false gods of all

are those things in my life that to this very day
I catch myself putting ahead of You.

Get your priorities straight as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain…”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

I catch myself wanting to get ahead, Jesus.

But You make it clear:

If I cheat to do so
I’ll end up behind.

Worse yet, there’s the punishment

that accompanies the transgression.

Why would I break Your rules in an attempt to succeed on this earth?

What happens on this planet is only the preseason.
It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose here.

My reward
is in Heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…who share in the heavenly calling…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I’m not the only one going to heaven, Jesus.

Now, of course, I know that.

But I don’t always act like it.

Sometimes I look down on others.

I know.
You repeatedly warn me not to.

When I catch myself committing that inexcusable sin

I’m horrified.

Who do I think I am?

I get distracted by the sins they’re committing
the foolish things they’re doing

and forget that I’ve done far worse.
