Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him…”
(3 John 1:12)

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed caution:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder…”
(Nahum 3:1)

People would expect a city full of plunder

to be in pretty good shape, Jesus!

But it’s the blood they’ve shed to get it
the lies they’ve told to keep it

that earn Your pronouncement of woe.

When You say, “Woe!”

I’d better say, “Woah!”

and quickly repent
stop harming others
stop telling lies

or I’ll discover firsthand
just how terrible Your woes can be.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.
