Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
(James 3:5)

It’s true, Jesus.

I can make great plans
but only You can make them come true.

I can say something unwise or unkind
and burn down a wonderful relationship.

I surrender my tongue to You!

Teach me what to say.
Teach me how to say it.

And teach me when to say nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo in bold, confident faith:

“That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place.”
(Deuteronomy 2:20-21)

No matter how big or how powerful my enemy, Jesus…

please help me remember:

The bigger they are

the harder they fall

when You’re the one

knocking them down.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes that see:

“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals’? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done.”
(Jeremiah 2:23)

It’s much easier for me to see how they defiled themselves, Jesus

than it is to see how I’ve done the same.

No, I haven’t run after anything called, “Baal.”

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t idols in my life –

anyone or anything I honor above You.

Open my eyes!

Pray this Lazaroo in costly faith:

“…for the sake of his body…”
(Colossians 1:24)

Coming only days after Good Friday, Jesus…

it would be easy to think Paul is referring to your physical body,
beaten and crucified to pay for my sins.

But no.

Paul is talking about Your body of believers
and what he willingly suffers in their behalf.

Do I have that kind of love and compassion for Your Church?

Do I consider the sacrifices I make for them

a hardship…or a privilege?
