Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled passion:

“…because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Is there any other way to follow You, Jesus?

Sadly, there is:

halfheartedly
indifferently
distractedly
thoughtlessly
lukewarmly
carelessly.

But none of those is worthy of You!

You deserve my wholehearted devotion.

You deserve all of me, not part of me.

You deserve my total focus
my maximum effort
my absolute best.

On the cross, You gave Your all for me.

How dare I give any less than my everything for You!
