Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Do nothing out of…vain conceit…”
(Philippians 2:3)

It would be helpful if you would show me how I end up with such an attitude, Jesus.

Everything I am, everything I have is from You.
How could I ever arrive at the conclusion that it originates with me?

Is it the praise of others – directed to me rather than You?

If so, when that happens, I need to be extremely diligent

about deflecting the praise to You
to set the record straight.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty…”
(Isaiah 2:12)

You have a day in store for me, too, Jesus –

but not that day! Please, not that day!

I don’t think there’s any pride in me, any sense of loftiness…

but if there is, eradicate it! Stomp it out! Kill it!

I know You hate it, can’t tolerate it.

So do I.

All I possess or any good I’ve done

is from You.
