Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving humility:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage…”
(Philippians 2:5-6)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

Give me Your mindset!
Not just some of the time, but all of the time!

May I never see myself as superior to another living soul.

May I never use my exalted, wholly undeserved position in You
for anything other than Your eternal glory!

Tender your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
(Philippians 2:3-4)

Caring about others above myself, Jesus?

That truly does take humility!

I tend to think what I’ve got going on is all-important.

But that’s how they feel about their lives, too.

So doesn’t that cancel both out?

Why should I give them preference?

Only if I truly believe that in doing so

You will bless, heal, guide and protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly humility:

“But let no one bring a charge, let no one accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest. You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother—my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”
(Hosea 4:4-6)

When they ignorantly accused one another Jesus

they weren’t all that unlike us
when we judge our fellow believers.

Like them…

we don’t know what we’re talking about.

Pray this Lazaroo in appreciative wonder:

“May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
(Ruth 2:13)

Hope. Gratitude. Humility.

No wonder You chose this woman
to be Your great-great-many times removed grandmother, Jesus!

She wasn’t even a Jew.

She was one of the hated Moabites!

No matter.

You chose her!

Just as You have chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing confidence:

“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

You did it for Lot, Jesus!

When You destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
You first sent Your angels to take him out of harm’s way.

You did it for Your people in Egypt, Father!

When you sent those ten plagues
You spared the land of Goshen.

Please, LORD:

Do it for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit.”
(Haggai 2:19)

That’s no accident, is it, Jesus?

It’s an unmistakable pattern that points to You.

Sometimes – for Your own perfect reasons – You keep my life fruitless

to teach…to get my attention…to humble me.

Oh, but I love those words, “Until now!”

When I’ve learned my lesson
when You’ve got my attention
when I’ve been humbled

the fruit will come!

Pray this Lazaroo in simple trust:

“…perhaps you will be sheltered…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

As promises go, Jesus

this one leaves more than a little to be desired!

I like the definite promises that begin with words like, “You will!”

Those that begin with the word, “perhaps” scare me.

What if I do everything You command

but don’t get what I want?

Oh.

You’re teaching me humility, aren’t You?
You’re also teaching me obedience for its own reward

while leaving the results
in Your loving hands.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit wisdom:

“…carried by four of them.”
(Mark 2:3)

That man had some friends, Jesus!

Here he was, unable to walk, unable to get to You.

No problem.
His four friends picked him up
and made sure He got to You!

Do I have friends like that, Father?

Wrong question. Let me try again.

Am I a friend like that?

It doesn’t start with what others do for me, does it?
You hold me responsible for what I do for them.

“…seek humility…
(Zephaniah 2:3)

Won’t have to seek long, Jesus.

If I’m genuinely looking for humility I’m gonna find it

in the blessings I don’t deserve

in the skills I don’t possess
to accomplish what I desire

in the sins I’ve committed
too many times to count

in the reality that I didn’t put myself here.
You created me, sustain me, own me.

So, yeah.

If I’m truly on the lookout for humility
it’ll hit me smack dab between the eyes.
