Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Has not the one God made you?”
(Malachi 2:15)

What a mouthful, Jesus!

One God.
You.

My Creator.
You.

Those seven words fill my heart, too!

You planned me, designed me, created me

before You spoke the worlds into existence.

You chose the time when I’d make my appearance on planet earth.

Out of its 197 million square miles

You chose the exact place where I’d be born

to which parents

among which people

speaking which language –

to Your glory!

Cherish it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s the beauty of it, Jesus.

You’re not sequestering Yourself in heaven
away from all the riff-raff, distant and aloof.

You created me.
You know me intimately.
You care about me and every aspect of my life.

You live in me in the Person of the Holy Spirit!

You’ll never leave me nor forsake me.

It is my unspeakably awesome privilege

to enjoy deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…seek humility…
(Zephaniah 2:3)

Won’t have to seek long, Jesus.

If I’m genuinely looking for humility I’m gonna find it

in the blessings I don’t deserve

in the skills I don’t possess
to accomplish what I desire

in the sins I’ve committed
too many times to count

in the reality that I didn’t put myself here.
You created me, sustain me, own me.

So, yeah.

If I’m truly on the lookout for humility
it’ll hit me smack dab between the eyes.

Feel His loving warmth, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But, dear friends…”
(Jude 1:17)

When somebody gets ready to correct me, Jesus

I prefer it to be as a “dear friend.”

Jude wasn’t lying.

That’s how he truly felt toward his brothers and sisters in You.

But You’re the One who gave these words to Jude

to share with us.

With me.

That’s how You see me, isn’t it?

Not only as a person You’ve created,
as a sheep in Your flock

but as Your dearly-loved

Personal friend.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Did not one God create us?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus, You did.

You’re my Creator, my Father, my Indweller
my Savior, Best Friend, Guide and Protector
my LORD and my God!

You have all rights to me.

Do with me as You will.
I’m Yours! Use me!

I long to bring You praise, honor and glory.

I’m determined to tell as many people as possible about You
so they can experience you as I do:

deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1.

Pray this Lazaroo with a bucketful of gratitude:

“…we are God’s workmanship…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

O Jesus!

How can I ever complain about what I am?
I’m Your invention, Your craftsmanship!

Or is that craftsGodship?! 😉

David said it first:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Please forgive me for those times when I forget that.

Now, I beg You:

Show me why You’ve made me like this!
Reveal to me Your highest purpose

and enable me to fulfill it
to Your eternal glory.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted gratitude:

“…God the Father…”
(2 John 1:3)

O God!

You are my Father.

But not mine alone.

You’re the Father of us all.

Some of us recognize You

some of us don’t.

But that doesn’t change the fact that it is You who have made us.

We didn’t make ourselves.

My life came through my parents

but not from my parents.

You chose me.
You made me.

All my allegiance I now pledge to You!

In Jesus’ Name

Amen.
