Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing…”
(Philippians 2:5-7)

Before all time You were Everything, Jesus

but out of Your fierce, deep, incomprehensible love for me

You made Yourself nothing

so I could become everything

You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving humility:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage…”
(Philippians 2:5-6)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

Give me Your mindset!
Not just some of the time, but all of the time!

May I never see myself as superior to another living soul.

May I never use my exalted, wholly undeserved position in You
for anything other than Your eternal glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
(Ephesians 2:20-22)

What a miracle, Jesus!

Our temple is not a building of wood, brick, metal or stone.
We are Your temple!

Not only do You live in us
but we live in You!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.”
(Ephesians 2:19-20)

I belong, Jesus! I’m part of something far bigger than myself.

Because I belong to You

I belong to everyone on the face of the earth

who also belongs to You

and to every saint who has preceded me

into heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.”
(Philemon 1:23)

A couple of jailbirds sending a letter to the handful of people who attend a little house church in Colossae, Jesus.

Small potatoes?
Hardly.

Since then, billions of people have read the translations of its 335 Greek words

in more than five billion Bibles
printed in more than 1,551 languages!

You’re the God who can take the little I do in Your love and strength

and make it gargantuan.

 Ask God to show it to you straight, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…how…righteous…we were among you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:10)

When a righteous person walks into the room, things often get quiet, Jesus.

There’s respect, yes
maybe fear

more than a little nervousness…discomfort.

Why?

Perhaps because a righteous person reminds us of our own

unrighteousness.

Do I long for Your righteousness to rise within me, LORD?

There’s a lot of downward pressure from my culture
even from some close to me

to just be one of the crowd.

Time to choose.
