Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“…God destined for our glory…”
(1 Corinthians 2:7)

I’m destined for glory, Jesus?

That thought boggles my mind.

I know who I am.
I know what I am.
I know how I speak, how I act, what I’ve done.

Glory…

isn’t exactly what I deserve.

And then that word, “destined!”

That means it’s going to happen.
Signed, sealed, delivered.

But it’s not me.

That’s for sure.

It’s You in me

changing me, transforming me, each day

into Your Likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“May God deal with me, be it ever so severely…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Until You, Jesus

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived.

But that was one of the most foolish things he ever uttered.

I would never ask You to deal with me severely
if I didn’t follow through on something –
no matter how important.

I beg You to be far gentler with me than I deserve!

so I can keep trying

until I get it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife…”
(Hosea 3:1)

Most husbands might have trouble showing love to a wife who is cheating on them, Jesus.

But the whole point is:

That’s what You want us to do for one another
because that’s what You do for us.

Sin is cheating on You with Satan.

But in spite of the fact that we’re spiritual adulterers
we still long for You to show us Your love.
