Pray this Lazaroo with inexpressible gratitude:

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”
(Hebrews 4:9-11)

I rest, Jesus –

from my futile work of attempting to earn my salvation.

I can’t – no matter how hard I try.

I confess that my faith in You –

Your death, burial and resurrection –

is my only hope for eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo with focused attention:

“Give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

I do give careful thought to some things, Jesus.

But I confess that I’m on automatic pilot with others.

Give me wisdom!

On the one hand, I don’t want to take anything for granted.
On the other hand, I don’t want to obsess on the obvious.

Please don’t let me skip over something that requires deeper consideration!

Neither allow me to spend one precious moment on time-wasters.

I’m so glad I have You!

Sunday, October 27, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I have found a man…who can tell the king what his dream means.”
(Daniel 2:25)

That would be quite a find, Jesus!

I suspect most of my dreams have little meaning –
my nighttime brain sorting things out –

though in that, I confess I may be mistaken!

But every once in a while, there’s a dream that’s somehow…different.

I know it means something
but I don’t know what.

When You give me one of those, LORD, please:

Reveal its meaning!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“And one thing more…”
(Philemon 1:22)

I know people like that, Jesus.

They ask me to do just one thing for them.

I agree.

Then – once they’ve got me on the hook –

they tack on “…one thing more.”

But I confess:

I’m one of those people, too
with You.

There’s no end to the number of requests I make of You, LORD!

No matter how much You do for me
I always want You to do…

“…one thing more.”

“…that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus…”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It’s not only about me, is it, Jesus?

Straight up? I confess:

I sometimes forget that.

Although I say differently – believe differently! –

my thoughts, words and actions reveal the stark truth:

I’ve got a lot of work to do
to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Okay. Them’s the facts.

Now…back to work.

Thank You for never, ever giving up on me!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…whom we confess.”
(Hebrews 3:1)

Okay, Jesus…

I confess that I know You –

not as well as I should
but enough to love You with all my heart.

I confess that I need You!

Because of my sins, I was on my to hell
before You saved me.

I confess that I’m not living for You as I should –

but that I’m giving it all I’ve got
to become everything You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-bursting love:

“The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

I love that about You, Jesus!

Yes – unlike some suppose – You punish.

But You know exactly when to stop punishing the sinner

to give them a chance to catch their breath

repent

and start over with renewed hope.

Of course, there’s another crowd.

They’re always disappointed
when You don’t smash the sinner into oblivion.

But as the repentant sinner You haven’t hopelessly smashed

I’m beyond grateful.
