Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They laid its beams…”
(Nehemiah 3:6)

There they were, Jesus…

repairing the Jeshanah Gate of Jerusalem.

When they laid those beams, they weren’t done.

There was a lot of work left to do.

Just as they were, I’m presented with a choice:

I can focus on the size of the huge task ahead of me
and become discouraged

Or I can be filled with thanksgiving for what You’ve accomplished through me

and be invigorated to get back to work.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest humility:

“Whatever they do…”
(Haggai 2:14)

Oh, Jesus.

The things I do
come from who I am.

The outside of me
is a glimpse into the inside of me.

When I do something right, that says something good about me.
When I do something wrong, that says something bad about me.

But there’s nothing good in the old me.
All my good comes from the new me.

In You.

The only good there is in me
is powered by the God in me.

You.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“They are…autumn trees, without fruit…”
(Jude 1:13)

Even if I love autumn, Jesus

may that never be said of me.

You’ve planted me for a purpose.

Ultimately, it’s not to look good, sporting lots of leaves.
That assignment has been given to shade trees.

I’m a fruit tree.
Fruit trees have one purpose:

Produce fruit.

May there be men, women, boys and girls who come to experience You in deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship

because of You
in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD is righteous…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s what terrifies me about my relationship with You, Jesus!

You’re righteous
I’m not.

You’re holy.
I’m not.

You’re perfect.
I’m not.

You’re sinless.
I’m not.

If friendship is built on commonality, I’m as far away from You as the east is from the west

which…come to think of it…
is how far You’ve removed my sins from me.

So there’s only one prayer I dare pray, isn’t there?

Be Yourself in me.
