Thursday, May 13, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“‘…bring me a harpist.’ While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha and he said, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.’”
(2 Kings 3:15-16)

Of course, I don’t know, Jesus…

but I suspect asking for a harpist
had more to do with Elisha’s preferences than Yours.

You don’t require a harpist to speak to us.

But I’m deeply touched by the leeway You allow us
as we reach out to You.

Seek understanding, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind…”
(Zechariah 2:13)

There’s a time to talk, Jesus.

Solomon told us so.

But there’s also a time to hush up.

Solomon told us that, too.

Without question, on countless occasions

You invite me to speak to You – even call to You.

But there are times when I’d be wise to hold my tongue and just listen –

as on those occasions when I start to complain.

You know what You’re doing.
I don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I know where you live – where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me…”
(Revelation 2:13)

That’s the ultimate test, isn’t it, Jesus?

Most people can remain true to Your Name
when surrounded by Your faithful followers.

But how many people are able to stand like a rock for You
when there are Jesus-haters everywhere they look?

I don’t know.
But I want to be one of them.

Sunday, December 29, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“…they went out…”
(3 John 1:7)

Sometimes that’s what I’ve gotta do, Jesus –

go out – even though I don’t know

what will happen
where it will lead
if I will succeed.

When You tell me to go

I need to get going.

I can ask why – after I get going.
I can tell You I don’t understand – after I get going.
I can confess that I don’t have enough strength – after I get going.

Regardless.
I’ve got to go out.

Pray this Lazaroo in total submission:

“All my enemies have heard of my distress…”
(Lamentations 1:21)

It travels among them in land speed record time, doesn’t it, Jesus?

“Did you hear? Did you hear? Did you hear?”

The one they despise got what they believe I deserve.

So be it.

The truth is, I deserve worse.

Maybe not for the reasons they suppose
but for reasons You full well know.

Maybe I’m being disciplined. Maybe I’m suffering for You.

I don’t know.

Either way…
thank You.

On this Christmas day, pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…they…stayed there three days…”
(Joshua 2:22)

So how long do You want me to stay where I am, Jesus?

A day? Three? A year?
For the rest of my life?

It’s good to know I’m where You want me

but to presume I will never move
is a mistake.

You want me to enjoy where You’ve placed me

but not to become complacent, thinking
“Now I know how this is going to play out.”

No.
Huh-uh.
I don’t know.

Pray this Lazaroo with deepest reverence:

“…your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.”
(1 John 2:12)

Yours is the Name, Jesus!

The Name above every name.

Some of us know it –

well…in our limited way.
To the degree humans beings can.

Others know of Your Name…

but that’s about it.

They either don’t believe it

or don’t know what to do with it.

There’s a lot I don’t know too, LORD…

but I know enough to pray in Your Name
right now.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“So Boaz said to Ruth, ‘My daughter, listen to me…’”
(Ruth 2:8)

Little did he know, Jesus…

that this young woman he called, “daughter”
would soon become his wife.

There’s a lot I don’t know, too, Father.

Thank You for revealing parts of it to me
when I need to know it!

But some of what I wish I knew

You keep hidden.

I don’t know why, but I know this:

There’s a good reason.
And I trust You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…what shall I tell them?”
(Exodus 3:13)

What a great question, Jesus!

Just because I told them something last time that seemed to work

doesn’t mean I should tell them the same thing this time
even if the situation appears to be identical.

You don’t want me to disconnect from You, thinking:

“I’ve got this.”

You want me to stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Because just when I’m certain I know what to say
I don’t.
