Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…the older women…can train the younger women to love their…children…”
(Titus 2:3-4)

Most young moms have deep feelings of love for their children, Jesus

but that’s not the same as loving them
the way they need to be loved.

You’re the One who reveals when they need a hug

and when they need discipline

when they need encouragement
and when they need ultimatums

when they need their mothers to hold on tight
and when their mothers must let them go.

Act wisely, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they disobey their parents…”
(Romans 1:30)

Some parents ought to be disobeyed, Jesus –

anytime they tell a child to do something
You tell them not to do.

Your Word trumps parental authority.

But when it’s anything else –

even if it’s something the child doesn’t like –

that child would be very wise to obey mom or dad.

You’re watching.

Children who honor their fathers and mothers
tend to live a long time.

Those who don’t?
Not so much.

Take a clear-eyed look, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…children who do not yet know good from bad…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

Those have to be some pretty young kids, Jesus

because most little ones catch on awfully quick.

Oh, they may not understand why something is good or bad

but even as babies they can immediately tell
when their mothers and fathers are pleased or displeased.

You’ve made it clear:

A child’s character is revealed
by what they do.

So is mine.
God help me, so is mine.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The king replied, ‘Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

I know You can identify, Jesus.

When Your mother asked You to do something, You couldn’t say no…

even though You told her Your hour had not yet come.

This, though, was different.

When David heard his mother’s request
he had to turn her down.

O Holy Spirit!

Help me first find out what’s going on
before I stick my foot in my mouth.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He had a throne brought for the king’s mother…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

Every mother deserves a throne, Jesus!

Even the worst of mothers go through months of discomfort – if not outright agony –

to bring their child to the point of delivery
then risk their very lives to give birth.

The best mothers keep enduring years of discomfort – if not outright agony –

to make certain their children have the greatest opportunity possible
to become everything You’ve created them to be.
