Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

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

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:13-15)

What a tragedy, Jesus

that Solomon didn’t apply his own proverb to himself.

Please.

Help me practice what I preach!

Monday, December 4, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

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

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Yes, I’m Yours, Jesus – You know it!

But that doesn’t mean I can continue in these old sins.
In Your power, help me overcome them!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May my life bring You honor, dear LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with honest self-assessment:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are…”
(Colossians 2:5)

Would anyone who knows my life delight to see how disciplined I am, Jesus?

Thanks to You, I am disciplined!

…in some areas.

But to my shame, not in all.

My discipline in one part of my life

doesn’t excuse the lack of it in another, does it?

Help me, LORD Jesus!
Help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, ‘With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.’ Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.”
(Genesis 4:1-2)

And so the stage is set, Jesus.

It begins with joy
and ends with tragedy.

Two very different boys
two very different outcomes.

Only You know why life sometimes works this way

but one day, You’ll explain it all!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“All your enemies open their mouths wide against you; they scoff and gnash their teeth and say, ‘We have swallowed her up. This is the day we have waited for; we have lived to see it.’ The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago.”
(Lamentations 2:16-17)

Nothing gets by You, Jesus!

Nothing.

There’s a very good reason for that:

You know the future.

There’s a very good reason for that, too:

You make the future.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.”
(Colossians 2:4)

As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus

there are so many people out there
who enjoy deceiving others.

That’s the work of Satan, isn’t it?

They don’t believe in You.
They couldn’t!

If they believed in a God who sees and hears and knows all

there’s no way in this world
they would practice this kind of deceit.

I’m begging You, Father:

Protect me!
