Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”
(Proverbs 4:4-6)

Look and see, Jesus!

I’m taking hold of Your words with all my heart
doing my best – always and forever –
to obey Your Word.

Give me wisdom!
Give me understanding!

Pray this Lazaroo in amazed admiration:

“For the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold. The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub.”
(2 Chronicles 3:10-11)

Solomon had his artisans create stunning figures, Jesus – encompassing 35 feet in all!

May I, too, offer You my very best!

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…more than I ask.”
(Philemon 1:21)

Who does that, Jesus?

Really good people
powered by You.

Most people do less

attempting to gauge the minimum it takes to get by.

Doesn’t matter how much I ask.

They have their margins, their schedules, their limits.

Frankly, so do I.

But when I feel Your inner prompt, Holy Spirit

when You rise up within me
flooding me with conviction

I’m able to rise above myself
and be better than my best.

Pray this Lazaroo in lavish worship:

“He adorned the temple with precious stones.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

As he oversaw the building of the temple

Solomon did his best to honor, worship and exalt you, Jesus.

That’s the desire of my heart!

I’m sure You enjoyed those precious stones, Father

but I have none to give.

What I’m offering You is the best of who I am and what You’ve given me.

Everything that is mine came from Your hand.

Back into Your hands they go.

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled passion:

“…because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Is there any other way to follow You, Jesus?

Sadly, there is:

halfheartedly
indifferently
distractedly
thoughtlessly
lukewarmly
carelessly.

But none of those is worthy of You!

You deserve my wholehearted devotion.

You deserve all of me, not part of me.

You deserve my total focus
my maximum effort
my absolute best.

On the cross, You gave Your all for me.

How dare I give any less than my everything for You!

 Pray this Lazaroo in heightened motivation: 

“They performed their duties according to the regulations laid down for them.”
(1 Chronicles 6:32)

A lot of us perform our duties, Jesus

sort of.

Sometimes we do them

sometimes we do at them.

Here’s my problem, LORD:

quite a few of my duties
aren’t all that much fun

which tempts me to do them halfheartedly
a temptation to which I succumb

all too often.

I’ve gotta clean that that up, don’t I?

You deserve my best
every time.
