Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Give careful thought to the day…”
(Haggai 2:18)

You were reminding Your people to give careful thought

to the day when the foundation of Your temple was laid, Jesus.

But there are a number of days in my life

that deserve careful thought.

Every day I experienced joy, fulfillment, success –

those were gifts from You.

Every day I experienced disappointment, heartache, failure –

those too were gifts from You.

I didn’t thank You then.

But looking back…

I thank You now.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused attention:

“Give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

I do give careful thought to some things, Jesus.

But I confess that I’m on automatic pilot with others.

Give me wisdom!

On the one hand, I don’t want to take anything for granted.
On the other hand, I don’t want to obsess on the obvious.

Please don’t let me skip over something that requires deeper consideration!

Neither allow me to spend one precious moment on time-wasters.

I’m so glad I have You!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

That’s one of those statements that goes without saying Jesus

and still needs to be said.

Of course, I know I should give careful to important issues.

But what I keep forgetting
is that it’s all important.

My challenge is compounded by the troubling reality

that what I sometimes think is important
isn’t nearly as crucial as what I dismiss as unimportant

which means I’d better give everything I say and do

careful thought.
