Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.”
(Mark 3:25-27)

In the midst of defending Yourself against their false accusations, Jesus

You gave us this principle that has guided us for all time.

May my house never be divided!

But if that happens
work through me to restore it.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.’ So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: ‘How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.’”
(Mark 3:22-24)

No one can make that charge against You, Jesus

nor any other.

Not only did you put them in their place

You taught us an invaluable truth for all time.

Pray this Lazaroo with single minded dedication:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself.”
(3 John 1:12)

There aren’t many people that no one dislikes, Jesus

but some of them lead a secret life that would horrify their admirers.

It’s exceedingly rare to find someone who in Your eyes deserves the accolades of everyone.

I’m no Demetrius.
Not by a long shot!

Nor is it my goal to be liked by everyone.

But it is my goal for You –

Who looks deep into my heart –

to be pleased with me in every way.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”
(James 3:6)

I don’t like to think of my tongue like this, Jesus!

But I wonder how many people have felt the fires of hell

from some of the harsh, judgmental, evil words
I have spoken over my lifetime.

May it never again be so!
