Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Return to the LORD your God…”
(Joel 2:13)

Why would any of us ever leave You, Jesus?

You’re loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, all-wise, all-powerful –

the Only God!

How could any of us who has touched Your greatness

stray from Your loving arms?

But we do.

There’s no excuse. None.

My only hope when I commit the unthinkable
and cave in to Satan’s temptation

is to repent with every fiber of my being
and return to You with all my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…to see if you would…be obedient in everything.”
(2 Corinthians 2:9)

Everything.

That’s a lot to be obedient in, Jesus! 😉

I believe I’m obedient in most things…

but I get it –

that’s not the goal.
That’s not good enough.
That’s not what You want.
That’s not what You deserve.

Don’t let me cave in to the temptation to compare myself to others

pointing out where I’m strong and they’re weak
while ignoring where they’re strong

and I’m weak.
