Pray this Lazaroo in righteous caution:

“…they always heap up their sins to the limit.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

I know people who seem to be doing that, Jesus.

Please help me not judge them!
You alone know their struggles, limitations, intent.

But may I not be guilty of such a thing!

All it took for Moses to be denied entrance to the Promised Land
was to strike the rock, rather than speak to it.

Because of my 1on1 closeness to You

the bar is set higher.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…who share in the heavenly calling…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I’m not the only one going to heaven, Jesus.

Now, of course, I know that.

But I don’t always act like it.

Sometimes I look down on others.

I know.
You repeatedly warn me not to.

When I catch myself committing that inexcusable sin

I’m horrified.

Who do I think I am?

I get distracted by the sins they’re committing
the foolish things they’re doing

and forget that I’ve done far worse.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…a poor man in shabby clothes…comes in.”
(James 2:2)

It’s a test, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my first thought?
What’s the expression on my face?
What do I say?
What do I do?

I don’t have to ask.

You want me to treat him with love, respect, dignity.

Don’t ever, ever, ever allow me to look down on anyone!

You made each and every soul I will ever see.
Help me think, feel, speak and act like it.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.”
(Jude 1:13)

I remember hearing long ago, Jesus:

There’s so much good in the worst of us
and so much bad in the best of us
that it behooves all of us
not to judge the rest of us.

Not bad advice.

That’s pretty close to the truth.

But You’re in a position to judge.

And You will.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed humility:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9)

I’ve seen some lawless ones running around, Jesus.

It’s good to know where that comes from.

The devil might not make them do it

but they sure are buying what he’s selling.

Of course, it’s easy to recognize that behavior in others

rather than deal with it in the face of that person
who looks back at me in the mirror.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“In a loud voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!’”
(Luke 1:42)

Elizabeth wasn’t exactly ashamed of her unwed pregnant relative, was she, Jesus?

Almost everyone else assumed the worst of your mother.

But not Elizabeth.

She had experienced the power of God.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, she prophesied blessing over You and Your mom.

May I always look first to You, LORD!
rather than judging by mere appearances.

Be willing to accept Godly correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These men are not drunk, as you suppose.”
(Acts 2:15)

It’s so easy to judge people, Jesus.

I know better.
But I still do it.

Why?

I don’t believe in it.
I hate it – and for a very good reason:

Others have harshly judged me.

Of all people, I know how much it hurts.

I don’t know what they’ve gone through.
I don’t know how badly they’re hurting right now.

Please!
Help me rid my mind of this evil.
