Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire…”
(Habakkuk 3:13)

What a humbling thing to hear, Jesus!

That I can work my fingers to the bone every day of my life
only to have You snap Your fingers

and burn it all up?

That’s what becomes of everything I do for the wrong motives.

But O God!

Everything I do to please You

becomes eternal treasure

that will never fade, spoil, nor pass away!

Rejoice! as you pray your Lazaroo on this glorious Christmas day:

“…boasting of what we have and do…”
(1 John 2:16)

Why do we do that, Jesus?

Everything we have or do comes from You!

Better question:

Why do I do that?

Because – God help me! – I do.

I guess it’s because I want people to think well of me.

But why? I’m nothing but a dirty, rotten sinner saved by grace.

Your outrageous, inconceivable love

is the only reason my punishment in hell
has been switched to eternal joy in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in full awareness:

“…what I have forgiven…I have forgiven in the sight of Christ…”
(2 Corinthians 2:10)

Everything I do is done in Your sight, Jesus

…but it’s good for me to remember that.

When I’m making a major claim like Paul was

it’s not a bad idea for me to remind others of it. 😉

It’s hard enough to say I’ve forgiven someone.

But to actually, thoroughly, permanently forgive them?

That’s a pretty big deal.

Knowing You’re watching

helps me do it.

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
(Philippians 1:29)

I like to think of myself as somebody who’s earned it, Jesus

a person who works hard to get what I’ve got.

But that’s such a self-delusion!

Everything I have…am…know…do
has been granted.

My very self, life, parents, circumstances, gifts, experiences, emotions –

all are gifts from Your loving, generous hand.

Rather than bragging in self-congratulation

pounding my chest with off-putting pride

I should be humbled – filled to the brim with gratitude.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in my heart I am disturbed.”
(Lamentations 1:20)

It’s bad enough when something upsets my thinking, Jesus

but when the disturbance settles in my heart

I’ve got to address it
can’t put it off.

It affects everything I think, say and do

the expressions on my face.

You’re the One who disturbs the heart, aren’t You?

You create that inner disturbance

to get my attention about something You want me to do

or what You want me to stop.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“Mesha king of Moab…had to supply the king of Israel with a hundred thousand lambs…”
(2 Kings 3:4)

That’s a daunting task, Jesus –

especially for someone being forced to do it
or else.

Every task is made harder when I’m being coerced, pressured, threatened

when I’m being forced to try to accomplish it against my will.

But what if I choose to change my attitude?

What if I realize in the big picture

everything I do
is for You.
