Pray this Lazaroo with shaking-in-our-boots awe:

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
(Zechariah 2:13)

Sometimes for days and weeks, Jesus

at other times for months and years –

not understanding Your perfect timing –

we wonder:

“Why don’t You rise up in power and act?
Why don’t You do something about this?”

And then, all at once, with stunning, sudden finality

You rain down Your retribution on those who defied You!

and I shut my mouth in trembling awe.

Maybe rethink a few things, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I ask that we love one another.”
(2 John 1:5)

Why does John make this request, Jesus?

Because too often, we don’t love one another.

Oh, we say we do…

but when all is said and done
more is said than done –

especially when it comes to love.

We love one another like we love potato chips –

until things go stale.

We love one another like we love some teams –

until they lose.

Please LORD!

Help me love like You.

Pray this Lazaroo in openhearted allegiance:

“I ask…”
(2 John 1:5)

Those are two loaded words, Jesus!

I ask and ask and ask.
I ask a lot!

But the question is:

Do I ask for the right things?

Actually, yes. I think I do.
Usually.

But are there times when – without knowing it –

I ask You to do things that are not best for me?

I’m sure there are.

When I do, please:

Gently tell me, “No.”

Because with all my heart

I trust You.

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…more than I ask.”
(Philemon 1:21)

Who does that, Jesus?

Really good people
powered by You.

Most people do less

attempting to gauge the minimum it takes to get by.

Doesn’t matter how much I ask.

They have their margins, their schedules, their limits.

Frankly, so do I.

But when I feel Your inner prompt, Holy Spirit

when You rise up within me
flooding me with conviction

I’m able to rise above myself
and be better than my best.
