Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him. I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the bolt.”
(Song of Songs 5:4-5)

May I always be that excited to spend time with You, Jesus!

I confess that’s not always the case.

Sometimes I close my eyes in prayer perfunctorily.

Sometimes I open my Bible out of obligation.

In those moments, I’ve forgotten with Whom I’m about to spend time:

The King of kings!
The LORD of lords!

May my heart pound within me!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
(1 Timothy 2:15)

Oh, what a solemn, sacred trust, Jesus!

Help me to come to Your Word with an open mind and heart!

May I never approach with my own agenda
seeking to proof-text what I already believe.

Instead, may I open my Bible in true humility
eager to be taught.
