Pray this Lazaroo with single minded dedication:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself.”
(3 John 1:12)

There aren’t many people that no one dislikes, Jesus

but some of them lead a secret life that would horrify their admirers.

It’s exceedingly rare to find someone who in Your eyes deserves the accolades of everyone.

I’m no Demetrius.
Not by a long shot!

Nor is it my goal to be liked by everyone.

But it is my goal for You –

Who looks deep into my heart –

to be pleased with me in every way.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I want all my words to be good, Jesus

not just some of them.

But my only hope to achieve that lofty goal

is to stay constantly in tune with You, Holy Spirit!

May every word I speak be fulfilled

because it originates with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”
(James 3:1)

There’s a simple reason for this, isn’t there, Jesus?

Those to whom You give the holy honor of teaching Your Word

owe You and those they teach

the privilege of seeing someone
who practices what they teach.

True, no teacher will ever do everything perfectly

but that had blessed well be their daily goal.

Pray this Lazaroo in breakthrough understanding:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding…”
(Colossians 2:2)

Wow, Jesus.

Complete understanding doesn’t come from hours of research alone.

It’s incomplete

until Your people are encouraged in heart
and united in love.

That doesn’t mean You don’t want us to study Your Word.

You do!

But it does mean that there’s no substitute

for the loving, encouraging assembling of ourselves together.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart…”
(Colossians 2:2)

What an awesome goal, Jesus!

That’s who I long to be to those around me:

an encouragement.

But it’s not merely saying a nice word or two, is it?

It’s encouraging people’s hearts

letting them know I truly care about them
being there for them when they’re down

telling them the truth they need to hear
in a way that gives them direction and hope.

Because that’s the kind of encouragement I need!

Embrace God’s priority as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
(Titus 2:4-5)

That’s my goal, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not to get my way.
Not to impress people.
Not to be successful.

My life’s goal is to honor You in such a way

that no one will malign Your holy Word!
