Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…who share in the heavenly calling…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I’m not the only one going to heaven, Jesus.

Now, of course, I know that.

But I don’t always act like it.

Sometimes I look down on others.

I know.
You repeatedly warn me not to.

When I catch myself committing that inexcusable sin

I’m horrified.

Who do I think I am?

I get distracted by the sins they’re committing
the foolish things they’re doing

and forget that I’ve done far worse.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed humility:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9)

I’ve seen some lawless ones running around, Jesus.

It’s good to know where that comes from.

The devil might not make them do it

but they sure are buying what he’s selling.

Of course, it’s easy to recognize that behavior in others

rather than deal with it in the face of that person
who looks back at me in the mirror.

Be willing to accept Godly correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These men are not drunk, as you suppose.”
(Acts 2:15)

It’s so easy to judge people, Jesus.

I know better.
But I still do it.

Why?

I don’t believe in it.
I hate it – and for a very good reason:

Others have harshly judged me.

Of all people, I know how much it hurts.

I don’t know what they’ve gone through.
I don’t know how badly they’re hurting right now.

Please!
Help me rid my mind of this evil.
