Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…without…disputing.”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

You’re not commanding Your Church to be only “yes people,” Jesus.

We’re allowed to disagree, to share alternative views
so long as they’re based on Your Word
and not mere opinion.

But what You forbid is disputing – argumentative disagreement –

the kind that is disrespectful, disruptive, disorderly.

Disputing destroys the unity of Your Church
which is so crucial to Your mission!

Show me how to respectfully offer a different view

while trusting You for the outcome.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…he was afraid to go there.”
(Matthew 2:22)

You haven’t given me a spirit of fear, Jesus –

but a spirit of power, love, self-discipline.

There’s no place You send me

that I need fear.

But there are places You forbid me to go.

I’d blessed well better be scared to go there!

How can I expect You to protect me

when I blatantly disobey?

Lead me in Your way everlasting, Father!

And keep my britches
out of the ditches.
