Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…reverent in the way they live…”
(Titus 2:3)

It’s good for me to be reverent on the inside, Jesus

to mean well
have good intentions.

But it can’t stop there, can it?

I’ve got to follow through.

What’s in my heart

has to show on the outside.

Nobody but You is able to see what I meant to say or do.

They’re stuck with what I actually said and did.

As far as they’re concerned?

That’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Confident of your obedience…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I wish You could be confident of mine, Jesus!

I wish my friends and family could be.
I wish I could be.

But I’m not.

Oh, I’m confident of my good intentions.

You know all about those, too.

I sure do mean well.

But my follow-through needs some work.

I don’t have to tell You that last statement was an understatement.

My follow-through needs a lot of work.

Help me. Please.
Help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-led discernment:

“They will secretly introduce destructive heresies…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

That’s the worst kind, Jesus.

A heresy – teaching something contrary to Your Word –
is bad enough.

Some heresies are factual mistakes –

perpetrated by people who mean well
whose scholarship is lacking.

In some cases their error is troubling, but limited.

However, when someone deliberately sets out to deceive Your people

in order to destroy them?

Their Satan-inspired lies will be exposed and sent to hell

along with those who crafted them.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Declare them guilty, O God!”
(Psalms 5:10)

David didn’t pray this prayer over people who’ve merely slipped, Jesus.

When I run into one of those, I beg You to forgive them,
pick them up, teach them, give them another chance.

After all…that’s what You keep doing for me.

But David has run into a few pathological liars

whose souls are wicked to the core.

He knows the heartbreak, ugliness and devastation that bunch can cause

…and so do You.

Exercise Godly judgment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will go with you…”
(2 Kings 3:7)

That’s a wonderful thing to hear from You, Jesus!

It’s exactly what I should say to You, too.

But it’s something I should say to another human being

only with the greatest caution.

Even those who mean well

sometimes end up in the ditch.

The best way to say it to another person is something like this:

“I’ll go with you if God says
and so long as you’re going with Jesus.”
