Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…Hymenaeus and Philetus…have departed from the truth.”
(2 Timothy 2:17-18)

Why would they do that, Jesus?

Truth is a beautiful thing.

It creates crystal clarity
shedding brilliant light in the darkness.

Even when the truth reveals what we don’t want to hear or see

it dispels lies, wishful thinking, illusion
showing us how to respond appropriately.

Your Word is Truth.

You Are Truth.

Make me a lover of the Truth

all the days of my life.

Be very careful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…horses and their riders will fall…”
(Haggai 2:22)

A rider on a horse may feel safer, Jesus, almost invincible.

The horse raises them up high off the ground
making them feel above it all.

The horse is faster than soldiers on foot
able to race away from danger.

But it’s an illusion, isn’t it?

A rider on a horse is a bigger target

and the bigger they are
the harder they fall.

Maybe I’d better stay humble

and not get up on my high horse.

Pray this Lazaroo freed of illusion:

“My lover is mine…”
(Song of Songs 2:16)

What a desperate declaration for Solomon’s wife to make, Jesus

in light of the fact that she was only one of 700 –
not to mention Solomon’s 300 concubines.

The less we human beings possess, Father

the more we pretend to have.

It’s easy for me to see that in this woman’s behavior

but where am I exhibiting the same thing in my own?

Nothing I have is mine.
All is Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep thought:

“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature…”
(1 Corinthians 2:6)

Interesting, Jesus.

All people need wisdom.
The immature as well as the mature.

But there’s a lot of wisdom that the immature can’t handle.

Wisdom isn’t bound by illusion.
The immature, however, find it hard to give theirs up.

Wisdom isn’t guided by political correctness.
The immature are unduly influenced by the crowd.

Am I ready to embrace Your wisdom, Father?

Please.
Grow me up.

Pray this Lazaroo with grateful heart:

“…peace from God.”
(2 John 1:3)

Where else is it going to come from, Jesus…

if not from You?

This world doesn’t offer peace.

The best it offers is a cessation of hostilities.

But even then, it’s temporary –
more like an opportunity to plan the next attack.

It’s all surface, too

the anger, jealousies, hatred and bitterness
simmering underneath.

In wonderful contrast, Your peace is real, lasting, deep.

World peace is an illusion.
In You alone I find peace.
