Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted…”
(Titus 2:9-10)

I’m Your slave, Jesus!

I desperately want to show you and others
that I’m trustworthy.

But my problem is that sometimes

I haven’t been.

I need Your help to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Please give me another chance.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“’Who are you?’ he asked. ‘I am your servant Ruth,’ she said. ‘Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.’”
(Ruth 3:9)

Ruth took a huge chance, Jesus.

She entered the place where women never went

to offer herself to become the wife
of a man who hadn’t asked her to marry him.

But this was Your doing!

When You tell me to do something unusual or impossible

rules no longer apply.

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate intent:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

If I want to shine like a star in this darkened world, Jesus

I’ve got to stop my grumbling and arguing.

The only chance I have to do that

is to hold firmly to Your Word of life!

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown amazement:

“With praise and thanksgiving…”
(Ezra 3:11)

You kinda like it when those two go together, don’t You, Jesus?

The praise because of Who You Are
The thanksgiving because of what You’ve done

and continue to do…and do…and do.

But to do either I have to pay attention, don’t I?

I’ve got to dismiss the idea of chance, luck, circumstance.
I’ve got to recognize that it is You! All You!

If I can’t do that

I still don’t know You.
