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

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good…so that those who oppose you may be ashamed…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

So that‘s what does it, Jesus?

Just living the life You’ve called me to live
leaving my reputation to You?

I can do that.

Correction: With Your help, I can do that.

My tendency is to try to fix what others think of me.
But every time I try, I only end up looking worse.

Best leave that to You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

What a reminder, Jesus!

There’s more than one kind of hope.

There’s hope

bad hope

and good hope.

Some things I hope for are just “hope.”

They’re fine…but they don’t really make anything better.

Other things I hope for are “bad hope.”

If I get them, they’ll end up hurting me.

But You Are the Giver of Good Hope!

which is –

all good!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall.”
(2 Kings 3:26-27)

Desperate people who don’t worship You

end up doing terrible, unthinkable things, Jesus!

May my faith be in You alone

causing me to do only what is good!

Pray this Lazaroo in sober contemplation:

“…their slaves will plunder them.”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Well, now…

wouldn’t that be a stunning comeuppance, Jesus!

But it’s happened.

And it’ll happen again.

Those I’ve ruled over

can absolutely end up ruling over me.

The only way to avoid that is to be the kind of person You want me to be

when I’m on top.

At the very least, I’ll be sowing the kind of good seed I’ll long to reap

if I ever end up on bottom.

Exercise Godly judgment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will go with you…”
(2 Kings 3:7)

That’s a wonderful thing to hear from You, Jesus!

It’s exactly what I should say to You, too.

But it’s something I should say to another human being

only with the greatest caution.

Even those who mean well

sometimes end up in the ditch.

The best way to say it to another person is something like this:

“I’ll go with you if God says
and so long as you’re going with Jesus.”
