Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…you know that our testimony is true.”
(3 John 1:12)

That was John’s reputation, Jesus.

People knew they could trust him
no matter the circumstances.

As with all reputations
it has to be earned.

With everything in me

I long for that to be my reputation too!

But I know it doesn’t happen because I’ve told the truth most of the time.

I need to be a person who tells the truth all the time
even when it hurts.

Pray this Lazaroo with discerning wisdom:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.”
(1 John 2:26-27)

It would be so easy to take this out of context, Jesus!

True, Your Holy Spirit is my teacher.

But John is warning them not to listen
to those trying to lead them astray.

The gift of teaching Your Word accurately

is still in effect today

and is needed more than ever!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink.”
(2 John 1:12)

Of course, John didn’t have available what we do, Jesus.

He didn’t have a cell phone.
He didn’t have email or text.
He didn’t have social media, Face Time or Zoom.

No doubt He would have used the living daylights out of those tools!

But something tells me there would still be times for him

as there are today

when nothing but face-to-face will do.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have much to write to you…”
(2 John 1:12)

I believe it, Jesus.

Of all Your disciples,
John seems to be the one closest to You.

At least He felt that way.

Again and again he called himself:

“…the disciple Jesus loved.”

Of course, You love the world.

You love all those who’ve put their faith in You
although a lot of them don’t feel Your love like John did.

However, I sure would like to.

Boast in the LORD! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: ‘Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?’”
(Acts 3:11-12)

Peter refused to take credit for Your miracle, Jesus.

As You work miracle after miracle for me

may I always give credit where credit is due!
