Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So when we could stand it no longer…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

I love knowing that Paul had that emotion, Jesus!

But it was more than mere emotion, wasn’t it?
You were moving on his heart to do something about it –

which is exactly what he did.

Work through my emotions too, LORD!

May they not be unreliable, leading me astray.
May they instead be guided by You

goading me, prompting me, pushing me, driving me

to do the very things You’ve called me to do!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not mere human beings?”
(1 Corinthians 3:3-4)

I can’t stop being human, Jesus.

But because of You living in me

I no longer have to be
merely human!

And I won’t be…

so long as the only One I’m truly following

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes right:

“‘In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.’ These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts…”
(Jude 1:18-19)

Doing what comes naturally sometimes works, Jesus

and sometimes doesn’t.

It’s unreliable!

Sometimes it leads to success
sometimes it leads me astray.

So that can’t be my mantra, my North Star.

I’ve got to line up whatever comes naturally

alongside the straightedge of Your Word

and do what comes supernaturally.
