Pray this Lazaroo in patient readiness:

“I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent…But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’”
(Ezekiel 3:26-27)

Sometimes silence is golden, Jesus.

Sometimes it’s disobedience –

or even worse –

cowardice.

It is my heart’s desire to be silent when You tell me to hush

and to be vocal when You tell me to speak.

In every moment of every day, Holy Spirit…

lead me!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable persistence:

“So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.”
(Deuteronomy 1:43)

I know how Moses feels, Jesus

well…just a little.

I’ve shared warnings You’ve shared with me

only to have people ignore me

and even worse, ignore You!

But just when I start to climb up on my soap box of holier-than-thou

You remind me of times

when I’ve ignored Your warning.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

Strong words, Jesus.

Hard to hear.
But even worse, hard for You to see:

Your people worshiping other gods
instead of remaining faithful to You.

That’s exactly how You view me

every time I put someone or something
ahead of obedience to You:

as a prostitute.

Help, LORD!

That’s not what I want You to see when You look at me.
