Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…”
(Philemon 1:6)

Do I ever need my understanding deepened, Jesus!

Certainly, that requires time each day in Your Word
Seasons of prayer, as I pour out my heart to You
and seek Your Face.

But it also requires action.

As I study and pray
You want me to go and grow

through ministry to Your people
and navigating among those
who are not Your people.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…and turned many from sin.”
(Malachi 2:6)

I would love for You to be able to say that about me, Jesus!

Sin robs my friends, family
church members, coworkers

of so much.

But what’s the best way to turn them away from sin’s ugly clutches?

Should I warn them of its consequences?
show them examples of those who’ve caved in?

Or is the most effective help I could ever give them

to live a pure, overcoming, sin-conquering life
myself?
