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…in faith:

“Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?”
(Job 3:11)

Job was in agony, Jesus!

wishing he’d never survived that shortest
and longest of all journeys

the trip from the safety of mother
to first breath in the outside world.

But he was wrong.

His suffering was short-lived.
You blessed him more at last than at first.

If only mothers about to abort their babies

could trust You to do the same.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise faith:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king…bowed down to her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love the respect Solomon showed his mother, Jesus.

Of all his wise behaviors
this may have been his best.

I wonder…

did he know what his mother endured to be in this position?

Was he aware that King David killed her husband to hide the pregnancy he had caused

resulting in his older brother’s death?

O God!

Give me mad respect for those who’ve suffered.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king stood up to meet her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love this, Jesus –

the respect Solomon showed his mother.

Typically, kings didn’t stand for anyone except another king.

But You’ve instructed us to honor our mothers and fathers
that our days may be long on this earth.

Solomon knew Your Word.
He was filled with Your wisdom.

So when his mother entered the room
he paid her the honor due her:

He stood.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Flowers appear on the earth…”
(Songs of Songs 2:12)

Yes they do, Jesus…

every Spring.

You are faithful to bring us their stunning beauty worldwide

year after year after year.

On this USA Mother’s Day Your gift of flowers is the perfect reminder

that whether my mother was

great
awful
or somewhere in-between

You knew precisely the kind of mother I needed

to inspire me, inform me, caution me, drive me

to become the person You’ve created me to be.
