Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
(James 3:2)

Of the many ways I can sin, Jesus

it’s most likely to happen
when I open my mouth.

That makes me want to keep my mouth shut.

But the problem with that solution is this:

If I only think it,
it’s still a sin.

No one else may know it
but You do

because You read minds.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“The world and its desires pass away…”
(1 John 2:17)

That’s so true, Jesus!

Some of the things
that once seemed overwhelmingly important to me

now matter little to nothing at all.

This world that feels so permanent

isn’t.

The more scientists discover…the less care we humans give it…

the shorter this earth’s lifespan is revealed to be.

But that’s not what’s likely to make it pass away, is it?

One day Your trumpet is going to sound!

and operation cleanup will begin.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…teach what is good.”
(Titus 2:3)

Sounds simple, Jesus.

I should teach good things.

The implication is there, too:

I shouldn’t teach bad things.

Okay, I won’t.

Except…teaching isn’t only talking, is it?

I wonder how effective are the things I say
compared to the things I do?

It’s likely that my example matters more, isn’t it?

It’s old advice, but it’s a fact:

The best way to drive home what I say
is to practice what I preach.
