Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“An attacker advances against you, Nineveh…”
(Nahum 2:1)

Was Nineveh afraid, Jesus?

Maybe not.
Nineveh was a strong, confident, important city.

Besides, they had escaped destruction once before when You sent Jonah to warn them.

They humbled themselves, repented
and You relented.

But they didn’t, this time, did they?

Forewarned is forearmed
only when the warning is heeded.

You’ve warned me in the past, LORD.

I paid attention, straightened up
and You spared me.

Keep me paying attention!

every time.

Pray this Lazaroo…in the fear of God:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…he sets up kings and deposes them.”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

Thanks for that reminder, Jesus.

No matter how You’ve honored and blessed me
no matter how many gifts You’ve given me
no matter how many people respect me
no matter how You’ve lifted me up

You can take me out.

The amazing favor You’ve shown me is no reason to get cocky.

It’s motivation to get humble
and stay that way.
