Pray this Lazaroo in pure trust:

“The Ninevites believed God.”
(Jonah 3:5)

Every time I take You at Your Word, Jesus…

every time I decide to act on it
every time I follow through with 100% obedience

good things happen!

Well…they don’t just “happen.”

YOU make them happen!

In this case, You sent Jonah to tell the Ninevites that You were going to destroy their city because of their many sins.

When they believed You and repented, however,
You spared them.

O God!
Spare me!

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“We ought therefore…”
(3 John 1:8)

Three powerful words, Jesus!

How many times have You shown me truth
without seeing me act on it?

I hope none.
But I know better.

Sometimes I file it away to act on later
and never get around to doing so.

Not only that.

But that word “we” is meant to turn me into an evangelist.

The truth You so graciously share with me
is meant for everyone to act on, as well.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…reverent in the way they live…”
(Titus 2:3)

It’s good for me to be reverent on the inside, Jesus

to mean well
have good intentions.

But it can’t stop there, can it?

I’ve got to follow through.

What’s in my heart

has to show on the outside.

Nobody but You is able to see what I meant to say or do.

They’re stuck with what I actually said and did.

As far as they’re concerned?

That’s all that matters.

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

“Confident of your obedience…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I wish You could be confident of mine, Jesus!

I wish my friends and family could be.
I wish I could be.

But I’m not.

Oh, I’m confident of my good intentions.

You know all about those, too.

I sure do mean well.

But my follow-through needs some work.

I don’t have to tell You that last statement was an understatement.

My follow-through needs a lot of work.

Help me. Please.
Help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with follow-through:

“…as a testimony to them.”
(Mark 1:44)

I can – and should! – testify about You by what I say, Jesus

but even more by what I do.

Words are important.

But unless they’re followed by action
they’re revealed to be weightless, hollow, cheap.

May my obedient actions

be in perfect harmony with my testimony about You

lest it be said of me

that what I do speaks so loudly against me
that no one can hear a word I say.
