Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“So man will be brought low and mankind humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:9)

Kinda good for me to keep that in mind, Jesus.

When You generously gift me
then bless me on top of that

I can begin to take if for granted
forget from Whom my blessings flow
get full of myself

…which forces You to back off on Your blessings

until I get my nose out of the air
my head screwed back on straight
and my heart right.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“So I have caused you to be…humiliated…”
(Malachi 2:9)

No one can do a better job of that than You, Jesus.

When others try to humiliate me, they fail –
unless they have Your go-ahead.

They don’t know me well enough to thoroughly humiliate me.

But You do.

If I mistake Your blessings to suppose that I’m better than everyone else

You can diminish me to a speck of dirt
faster than I can pound my chest a second time.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled zeal:

“I have been most rebellious.”
(Lamentations 1:20)

That’s quite a confession, Jesus…

especially because of who’s making it.

This is no rapist, murderer, pillager, criminal.

The great prophet Jeremiah is speaking!

He’s the one who faithfully obeyed You throughout his life –

and suffered greatly for it.

He’s the one You appointed over nations and kingdoms –

to tear down, destroy, build and plant.

If he could be this humble and self-aware of his sins

who am I to be less?

Pray this Lazaroo in eager expectation:

“The LORD…raises the poor from the dust…”
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

That’s one of the things about You I like best, Jesus –

You don’t leave any of us where we are.

Those who are humbled You lift.
Those who are haughty You humble.

Of this I can be sure:

Whatever I do now
Whoever I am now

is going to change.

The more fully I surrender to You

the more stunning the end result.

One touch from You

is transformative.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD…humbles and he exalts.”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

Some people think you only exalt, Jesus.

The experience of others leads them to believe
all You do is humble

at least when it comes to them.

But there’s a lot more to You than any of us can grasp.

Just when we think we’ve got You figured out
we learn we don’t

sometimes the hard way
sometimes not.

I prefer to be exalted, LORD!

but that usually comes
after I’m humbled.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

 “She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’”
(Ruth 2:7)

Sometimes that’s the way it goes, Jesus.

You put me in a place that requires
being needy, humbled, bringing up the rear.

I can fight it, if I wish

or I can trust You.

You know what’s best for me.

I don’t.

Besides, leading the pack isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

They’re the first to get shot at.

Back here is fine.
