Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

That’s a tall order, Jesus!

It’s one thing to teach with integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech

but quite another thing to do all that in a way
that’s impossible to condemn.

There’s always someone out there eager to condemn.

but with Your help and protection

I’ll do my best!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
(1 Timothy 2:15)

Oh, what a solemn, sacred trust, Jesus!

Help me to come to Your Word with an open mind and heart!

May I never approach with my own agenda
seeking to proof-text what I already believe.

Instead, may I open my Bible in true humility
eager to be taught.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They…came to Joshua…and told him everything that had happened to them.”
(Joshua 2:23)

Joshua was eager to hear their report, Jesus!

After all, he had sent them to spy out the land.

But there aren’t many people in my life eager to hear

everything that’s happened to me.

They might not mind hearing the highlights

but the more detailed I become
the more their minds wander.

It takes a real friend

to genuinely want to hear the whole story.

Pray this Lazaroo in longing belief:

“Then the two men started back.”
(Joshua 2:23)

When it comes to vacations, Jesus

many people believe it’s more fun to leave
than to start back.

But as healthy as a break can be

a person who loves their work
is eager to resume.

A person who loves their home
is thankful to return.

Help me truly embrace the calling You’ve placed on my life!

while remembering that heaven –

not this world –

is my true home.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)

If I’m to get my head around this, Jesus

I’m going to have to put on my big-boy britches.

You’re saying that when someone immovably refuses to embrace truth

You grant them the sickening alternative they’ve chosen:

a mindset ravenously eager
to swallow Satan’s biggest lie.
