Pray this Lazaroo with purified purpose:

Let love and faithfulness never leave you…Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”
(Proverbs 3:3-4)

I need Your favor, Jesus. Desperately.

Without it, I won’t survive, let alone thrive.

I don’t know how others make it without a deep, daily, moment-by-moment 1on1 relationship with You

but I know I can’t.

Do I want a good reputation among others? Yes.

But the only approval I absolutely have to have

is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…send them on their way…”
(3 John 1:6)

That can be a euphemism for saying goodbye, Jesus.

But sometimes people don’t want to leave
even though I desperately want them to.

Maybe it’s because they’re lonely.

In that case, help me cut them some slack
and love on them a little more before they go.

But please help me recognize when it’s because they’re killing time!

so I can wisely, kindly, firmly
send them on their way without delay.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“…a wisdom that has been hidden…”
(1 Corinthians 2:7)

Please forgive me, Jesus, but I have to ask –

Why would you hide Your wisdom from me?
I need it so desperately!

It’s about timing, isn’t it?

You’ve said there’s a time for everything.
“Everything” would include wisdom. 😉

But it’s also about my growth, isn’t it?

You could just dump all Your wisdom on me at once.

But how much better for me to learn it

step

by

step.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely-eyed determination:

“From now on…”
(Luke 1:48)

There’s not one blessed thing I can do about the past, Jesus.

No matter how desperately I wish I could change some things

I can’t.

I dare not buy Satan’s lies

telling me it’s too late to turn it around
or tempting me to coast on my past wins.

That was then.
This is now.

It’s not about what I did, said, thought.

It’s all about what I’m doing, saying, thinking

from now on.
