Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.”
(Luke 1:80)

Just like John the Baptist, Jesus

I want to grow in You!
I want to become strong in spirit!

In short, I want to become everything You’ve created me to be!

But that means I have to deliberately carve out time to do what he did

and get away for Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt adoration:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
(1 Peter 2:2-3)

Yes, I have, Jesus.

I have tasted.

You are indeed good!

But I haven’t stopped with a taste.

I’ve returned again and again to Your well that never runs dry.

I’ve tipped up the vessel of Your Word and drunk deeply.

You have filled my heart, soul, mind and spirit

to overflowing!

Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo with a teachable heart:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Some people make fun of spiritual milk, Jesus

but You don’t.

Those same people claim they’re ready for meat

when in fact, their dismissal of spiritual milk
may indicate they’re not yet ready to be weaned.

I want to grow up, LORD!

I long to become mature and complete in You.

Is it possible…

that I’ll never outgrow my need for milk?

Pray this Lazaroo in deep thought:

“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Interesting, Jesus.

All people need wisdom.
The immature as well as the mature.

But there’s a lot of wisdom that the immature can’t handle.

Wisdom isn’t bound by illusion.
The immature, however, find it hard to give theirs up.

Wisdom isn’t guided by political correctness.
The immature are unduly influenced by the crowd.

Am I ready to embrace Your wisdom, Father?

Please.
Grow me up.
