Pray this Lazaroo with sharpened awareness:

“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.”
(Zechariah 3:1)

It’s easy to forget that kind of thing happens, Jesus.

I tend to assess the situation
based on what I can see, hear, feel, taste, touch, smell.

But that may be the least of it!

Because I belong to You

I’ve enrolled in a spiritual, life and death battle.

I’d do well to remember that.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“David said about him: ‘‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”
(Acts 2:25)

Next time I’m in a fight for my goals, my relationships, my very life

I’m imagining You there at my right hand, Jesus.

Except it’s not my imagination.

It‘s real.
You’ll actually be there.

Let me rephrase that:

You’re here.
At my right hand.

Now.

David is right:

I will not be shaken!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the fierce anger of the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I don’t like to think of You this way, Jesus

but I know it’s real.

You’re longsuffering, slow to anger, abounding in love…

but there’s a line.

When one of Your children repeatedly, willfully, unapologetically crosses it

You make certain they realize
that they have done a foolish thing.

I’ve known Your well-deserved discipline countless times, LORD

but never Your wrath.

With Your help

I’d like to keep it that way.
