Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
(2 Corinthians 4:5-6)

May my words and actions point people to You, Jesus

rather than to myself.

To exalt myself
is the work of Satan

which got him kicked out of heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”
(Proverbs 4:7-9)

It doesn’t do a whole lot of good to have opportunities, tools and ability, Jesus

if I don’t know how or when or why or where or with whom
to use them.

Pray this Lazaroo as a passionate plea:

“And the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: “When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.”’”
(Joshua 3:7-8)

When You do that for a leader, Jesus

their biggest challenge is to make sure

they’re not exalted in their own eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart full of praise:

“…the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Clearly, that day hasn’t arrived, Jesus –

though it’s long, long overdue.

On every day since anyone in heaven or earth existed

You should be the only one exalted.

Everything good that we think, say, have or do

comes from You.

I can’t control what others do or don’t do about that

but I am determined to exalt You alone
each and every day on earth
and throughout eternity.

Pray this Lazaroo in lavish worship:

“He adorned the temple with precious stones.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

As he oversaw the building of the temple

Solomon did his best to honor, worship and exalt you, Jesus.

That’s the desire of my heart!

I’m sure You enjoyed those precious stones, Father

but I have none to give.

What I’m offering You is the best of who I am and what You’ve given me.

Everything that is mine came from Your hand.

Back into Your hands they go.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD…humbles and he exalts.”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

Some people think you only exalt, Jesus.

The experience of others leads them to believe
all You do is humble

at least when it comes to them.

But there’s a lot more to You than any of us can grasp.

Just when we think we’ve got You figured out
we learn we don’t

sometimes the hard way
sometimes not.

I prefer to be exalted, LORD!

but that usually comes
after I’m humbled.
