Pray this Lazaroo in grateful perspective:

“So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”
(1 Corinthians 3:21-23)

It’s okay for us to be grateful for the leaders You’ve so gifted, Jesus

but not to put them on a pedestal of worship.

You’ve gifted us all…even me!

May I never forget that.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I have found a man…”
(Daniel 2:25)

At first glance, that’s not especially unusual, Jesus.

There are a lot of men out there –
3.8 billion now, though less then.

But Daniel isn’t just any man.

He’s Your man.

You gifted, called and prepared him for that moment in time.

You’ve done the same for every person on earth
who’s put their trust in You.

Why am I here at this point in history, LORD?

Use me for Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“So man will be brought low and mankind humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:9)

Kinda good for me to keep that in mind, Jesus.

When You generously gift me
then bless me on top of that

I can begin to take if for granted
forget from Whom my blessings flow
get full of myself

…which forces You to back off on Your blessings

until I get my nose out of the air
my head screwed back on straight
and my heart right.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit…”
(Acts 2:18)

There was a day when the expectation was

that You would work primarily through men, Jesus.

But that day is long gone.

The problems are too great.

The dilemmas too dire.

We need all hands on deck.

Besides, You’re the one who made women

You know how smart, resourceful and gifted they are.

Admit it, LORD…

You were saving the best for last. 😉
