Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…God, who calls you into his kingdom…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:12)

What an honor, Jesus!

Most people have to be born into a kingdom.
Instead, You’re calling me to –

oh. Right.

I have to be born into Your kingdom, don’t I?
Make that: “born again.”

So I acknowledge my sin, my inability to save myself.

I admit You’re my Only Hope.

I believe You died and rose again

paying for all my sins in full.

Now, what?

Keep following You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“My people…have forsaken me…”
(Jeremiah 2:13)

Unthinkable, Jesus!

How foolish.
How dare we do such a thing?

But times beyond counting, we have –

thinking our way is better
fearing Your way won’t be to our liking

or simply straying so gradually that we hardly notice

we’re not living the way You’ve called us to live
we’re not following You anymore.

Don’t let that happen to me!

Or if it has

please, please, please!
help me find my way back.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey…to show you the way you should go.”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

Wow.

This simplifies my life, Jesus!

In the past, I’ve tried to guess what lies ahead.

I’ve done research
leaned on my own experience
tapped into the expertise of others.

Results?

Mixed.

Win some…lose some.

A dart board might have been as effective.

But You go ahead of me!

All I have to do
is follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…Jesus saw them following and asked, ‘What do you want?’”
(John 1:38)

Is it possible that You’re asking that of me, Jesus?

You see me following You…
do You want me to tell You what I want?

Without question, You have the power to give me anything and everything I could imagine.

But the more I think of it
the easier it becomes to answer that question:

Because what I really want
is whatever You want to give me.
