Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…remember that at that time you were…foreigners to the covenants of the promise…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I love the way You put this, Jesus

because through it, You’re teaching me so much!

“…at that time” means:

It’s no longer the case!

I’m no longer a foreigner to Your covenants of the promise!

“remember” means:

It’s vital that I always remember
where I’ve come from
and how far You’ve brought me.

I – once an undeserving outsider –

am now part of Your Forever Family.

Pray this Lazaroo buttressed by faith:

“This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s wild, Jesus.

They were exiles in the very land You had promised them.

Everybody looked at them like outsiders, intruders

not knowing they were looking down on people
to whom they would one day look up

not realizing these trespassers
would one day become the land’s owners.

I can identify.

Today I walk this land as a foreigner

but my Dad owns it all
and I’m Your heir.
