Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

Pharaoh was 100% wrong about their being lazy, Jesus.

He was wrong about their motivation, too.
They did intend to go sacrifice to You.

But his instincts were right about one thing:

Thanks to Your amazing power
They weren’t about to come back.

Pray this Lazaroo with all due diligence:

“Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.”
(Matthew 3:3)

At first glance, Jesus

this doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought You were the one
who made straight paths for me!

But now…maybe I better understand.

You expect me to do everything in my power
to straighten out my own life.

No, I can’t do it without You…

but neither are You going to do everything for a lazy person
who makes absolutely no effort.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…not by works…”
(Ephesians 2:9)

The lazy person is thrilled to hear this, Jesus!

You save us because we believe in You
not because of anything we do to earn heaven.

(Of course, lazy people need to remember

that faith without works is dead.)

Ironically, though, it’s the faithful, dependable, diligent person

who struggles most when they hear
that even their greatest achievements
aren’t even close to enough.

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo with self awareness:

“…their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors.”
(Nehemiah 3:5)

That’s a pretty stubborn case of laziness, Jesus.

Most people work when their supervisors are standing over them.
It’s when their supervisors leave that lazy people stop work.

“People don’t do what you expect…they do what you inspect.”

But these people refused to work in full view of their bosses!

Shameful.
Inexcusable.

Like the times I sin
even though I know You’re watching.

Pray this Lazaroo in God-inspired humility:

“…their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work,,,”
(Nehemiah 3:5)

I know some people like that, Jesus –

who believe they’re too “noble” for hard work
who believe they’re above breaking a sweat.

But there’s nothing noble about laziness

or an attitude of superiority.

Give me the humble man or woman who will do whatever it takes

every time.

And help me be a person of true nobility

who willingly puts my shoulder to the work.
