Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…all generations will call me blessed.”
(Luke 1:48)

Your mother was right, Jesus.

All generations have called her blessed!

She gave birth to the One who gave life to her!

She got to see You grow up – literally, the perfect child.
She saw You work miracles, teach truth, become famous.

But Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her soul

also came true when she saw You crucified.

May I never forget that on this earth

pain accompanies blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in exultant faith:

“My soul glorifies the Lord…”
(Luke 1:46)

That’s pretty deep, Jesus.

Deeper than glorifying You with my mouth.
Deeper even than glorifying You with my mind.

Soul deep.

Glorifying You from the very center of my being
the essence of who I am.

No artifice, no pretense, no doing it for show.
The real thing.

Mary’s soul glorified You

because she was pregnant with the Savior of the world.

My soul glorifies You

because that same Savior
saves me.
