Pray this Lazaroo with a humble heart:

“Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool.”
(Ecclesiastes 5:2-3)

I admit it, Jesus.

Looking back over my life, I’m been too quick with my mouth.
Looking back over the last 24 hours may not be any better!

Help me, Holy Spirit

not to utter the speech of a fool.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.”
(Galatians 3:18-19)

We were in that holding pattern for a long time, Jesus!

You’re the Seed that came.

Abraham was looking forward to Your coming.

I’m looking back at your coming…

and forward to Your coming again!

Pray this Lazaroo with hot anticipation:

“Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?”
(2 Corinthians 3:7-8)

So no more looking back with envy, Jesus!

Yes, You did marvelous things long ago!

Hallelujah!

But by faith I declare to the skies:

Your best is yet to come!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Give careful thought to the day…”
(Haggai 2:18)

You were reminding Your people to give careful thought

to the day when the foundation of Your temple was laid, Jesus.

But there are a number of days in my life

that deserve careful thought.

Every day I experienced joy, fulfillment, success –

those were gifts from You.

Every day I experienced disappointment, heartache, failure –

those too were gifts from You.

I didn’t thank You then.

But looking back…

I thank You now.
