Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.”
(Philippians 2:17-18)

That sounds reasonable, Jesus…

until I realize Paul was referring to his coming martyrdom
for sharing his faith.

Paul had made such an impact for You

that Your enemies wanted to kill him for it.

There are many places in this sin-sick world where that can still happen.

If those were my stakes
would I be willing to take that risk for You?

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4-5)

Persecutions are scary things, Jesus.

In this, I’m like Paul:

When someone I love
is battling through a horrible experience
my biggest concern is the impact on their faith.

To those enduring the devastation of Satan’s vicious attacks

help me be a blessing!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed…”
(Habakkuk 2:12)

Most of us haven’t built any cities with bloodshed, Jesus.

But what’s the principle here?

You’re telling us how much You hate it

when we tear others down
to build ourselves up

when we’re so focused on our own success
that we give no thought to its impact on others.

Am I doing that anywhere in my life, Jesus?

If so, show me!

So I can stop it.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now…”
(Ruth 2:7)

That’s the key, isn’t it, Jesus?

steadily.”

Doing a lot of work for a short while…stopping…doing some more later when I feel like it…

doesn’t have nearly the impact
that sticking with it day in/day out creates.

Steady work isn’t always flashy

but it gets the job done.

May I be a steady worker in Your fields

all day
every day
through harvest.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“As for anyone who is in the house with you…”
(Joshua 2:19)

They’re a greater responsibility, aren’t they, Jesus?

More than people at work, or on the street
more than acquaintances or friends.

But what can I do?

If they’re young, I have some control
though not as much as I think.

But the older they are, the less my influence.

The day comes when the only true impact I have on them
is my sincere, consistent, Godly example.
