Sunday, November 5, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.”
(Matthew 4:21-22)

That’s who I want to be, Jesus!

Every time You call

I want to be willing to drop what I’m doing –

no matter who I’m doing it with –

and follow You every step of the way!

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering dedication:

“Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for…”
(2 John 1:8)

I tend to think that once I have it, Jesus

it’s mine.

But You’re reminding me that I may have to work as hard to keep it

as I did to attain it.

Maybe harder – because now, I’m a target.
Satan wants to steal what You’ve provided.

But so long as I keep my eyes fixed on You

following You every step of the way

You’ll ensure that Satan comes up

empty-handed.

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

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

I’m so glad my work matters to You, Jesus!

But nothing I do is my work alone.
I’m leaning on You every step of the way.

I don’t want my work to be merely good.
I want it to be great.

There’s only one way that can happen:

When in passionate humility
I collaborate with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Has not the LORD Almighty determined…”
(Habakkuk 2:13)

I can stop the sentence right there, Jesus.

You’ve determined it all.

Everything that has happened, is happening, will happen –

has been decided by You.

Obviously, I don’t know most of what You’ve got cooking

except for those things You’ve spelled out in Your Word.

So for me

following You every step of the way

is the adventure of my lifetime!

Show me what You want me know!

No more…
and no less.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’ Joshua said to the priests, ‘Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.’ So they took it up and went ahead of them.”
(Joshua 3:5-6)

These two commands are not unrelated, Jesus.

As I consecrate myself

I need the life-changing wisdom, comfort and power

of Your holy Word to go before me

every step of the way.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As you have heard from the beginning…”
(2 John 1:6)

I’m thinking back to my beginning with You, Jesus!

The day when You drew me to Yourself.
The moment when I realized I believed!

The prayer I prayed, confessing my sinfulness
asking You to forgive me, to save me

to enter my life and lead me wherever You desire
all the way to heaven.

I’m still on that journey!

Closer than ever
trusting You every step of the way.

Follow the inner prompting of the Holy Spirit as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Turn aside to the right or to the left…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

You’ve clearly commanded me Jesus:

Don’t turn aside to the right or the left
when it comes to obeying Your Word.

But Abner was warning Asahel.

When Asahel refused to turn aside
it cost him his life.

So sometimes I should refuse to change course

and at other times I’d better!

How can I recognize the difference?

Only as I follow You
every step of the way.

“After a roundabout march of seven days…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

I’ve been on a few of those roundabout journeys, Jesus!

At least, that’s what they felt like at the time:

a total waste.

But is that what they were?

No. Even when I didn’t know what I was doing

You did.

You’ve made me a promise:

That if I will seek You with my whole heart
and faithfully follow You all the way

You will guide my steps.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful allegiance:

“…he will lead Israel to inherit it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:38)

That’s exactly what You enabled Joshua to do, Jesus!

He took over from Moses and led Your people
into the land You promised to give them.

Isn’t that what every leader is called to do?

To gratefully receive the baton from those who’ve led before
following You every step of the way

in order to lead Your people into the fullness
of Your promises?

O God!

Give us such leaders!
