Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?”
(Amos 3:6)

Most people don’t know this verse is in the Bible, Jesus.

Many who do try to explain it away.

Others reel under its implications, forced to rethink their image of You.

You’re not the old grandfather who wouldn’t harm a flea, are You?
You’re Almighty God, who pours out wrath on wrongdoers every day.

You’re loving, forgiving, kind, compassionate, merciful

…but You absolutely hate sin.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.”
(Ezekiel 3:8)

Some people wouldn’t call that Christian, Jesus.

They believe Your followers should always be
tender, loving and kind.

Most of the time they’re right.

But no one is as Christian as You Are!

You know I’m in a battle against the forces of evil.

When necessary…

You equip me to fight fire with fire.

And I am SO grateful

that Your fire is hotter than theirs.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone has caused grief…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

People don’t usually say something like this, Jesus

unless grief has been caused.

There’s seldom any “if” to it.

But for some, the word, “since” can be a little too strong.

Hence, the word, “if.”

Paul is trying to bring healing in the place of hurt

so with Your help, He’s choosing those words.

O God!

Give me Your words of healing
to share with those around me
who are hurting.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…appointing Levites twenty years of age and older to supervise the building…”
(Ezra 3:8)

I can only imagine how this went over with an experienced, 40 year-old carpenter, Jesus –

having someone half his age
who had never hammered a nail

“supervise” him.

But a gifted supervisor can alleviate those concerns by being

kind
respectful
humble
encouraging
appreciative

regardless of age or lack of experience.

May I be willing to treat others
the way I want them to treat me.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…welcome him…”
(Philemon 1:17)

Some people are easy to welcome, Jesus.

They’re outgoing, gracious, humble, fun.

Other people…not so much.

They’re surly, selfish, egotistic.
Some are downright mean, devious, evil.

Do You want me to welcome everybody?

No, You don’t.

You tell me to have nothing to do with some of them

not even eat with them.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t change.

With You, all things are possible.

My prayer?

In heaven

that You will welcome me.
