Pray this Lazaroo with hyperfocus:

“Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace.’”
(Luke 2:27-29)

Simeon was there at that once-in-a-lifetime moment, Jesus

because the Spirit moved him to be there.

How many times have You moved me, Holy Spirit

and I missed a priceless moment
because I failed to respond?

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

That’s one of those statements that goes without saying Jesus

and still needs to be said.

Of course, I know I should give careful to important issues.

But what I keep forgetting
is that it’s all important.

My challenge is compounded by the troubling reality

that what I sometimes think is important
isn’t nearly as crucial as what I dismiss as unimportant

which means I’d better give everything I say and do

careful thought.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…listen carefully to what I say.”
(Acts 2:14)

Some people use language like that because they’re stuck on themselves, Jesus

They think everything they say is worth my rapt attention.

But when Your Apostle Peter utters those words

I’d better listen.

In fact, if it’s anywhere in the Bible, I’d better listen!

Your words
are my life.

When the people around me speak

please give me the wisdom to know whose words to hang on
and whose to dismiss.
