Pray this Lazaroo in chastened humility:

“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness’ ; and again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.’”
(1 Corinthians 3:18-20)

So let me get this straight, Jesus:

If I brag that I’m “so wise…”

I might actually be a –

Got it.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the king summoned Shimei and said to him, ‘Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, “On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die”? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’”
(1 Kings 2:42)

Solomon set Shimei up for failure, Jesus.

The guy just didn’t have it in himself
to do the right thing for the rest of his life

so his life was cut short.

Got it.

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

“Cursed is the ground because of you…It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
(Genesis 3:18-19)

Okay. Got it.

But thanks to my ever-deeper 1on1 relationship with You, Jesus

to dust my Spirit will never return!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’”
(Deuteronomy 2:9)

Got it, Jesus.

You tell me who I can mess with and who I can’t.

If for any reason I think I can go it on my own

You make it clear I won’t succeed.

You’re the Boss.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…rid yourselves of all…slander of every kind.”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Got it, Jesus.

You don’t want me to say anything false and harmful.

About anyone.

But why would I want to?

Only if I’m tempted to do so by Satan –

to harm someone I don’t like
to get back at someone who’s hurt me
by passing along a rumor I think is true.

O God! Don’t let me sow that seed!

I sure don’t want to reap it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sharp anticipation:

“Here is a trustworthy saying…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

Of course, everything in Your Word is trustworthy, Jesus

so when You set up what You’re about to say like this

You’re telling me it’s huge.

Not only that…

but it’s a “saying” –

something You want frequently repeated
so Your people get it deeply embedded in their DNA –

something You probably want me to memorize.

Okay. Got it. Ready:

The next words I read
are gonna be somethin’ else!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…do the things you did at first.”
(Revelation 2:5)

I remember how passionate I was when I gave myself completely to You, Jesus.

I was all-out, no-holds-barred.
You were my Everything.

But it’s hard to maintain that level of emotion

day-in, day-out
month after month
year after year.

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t.

You’re not telling me to feel the way I did at first, though.

You’re telling me to do what I did back then.

Got it.
