Pray this Lazaroo in breakthrough understanding:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding…”
(Colossians 2:2)

Wow, Jesus.

Complete understanding doesn’t come from hours of research alone.

It’s incomplete

until Your people are encouraged in heart
and united in love.

That doesn’t mean You don’t want us to study Your Word.

You do!

But it does mean that there’s no substitute

for the loving, encouraging assembling of ourselves together.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart…”
(Colossians 2:2)

What an awesome goal, Jesus!

That’s who I long to be to those around me:

an encouragement.

But it’s not merely saying a nice word or two, is it?

It’s encouraging people’s hearts

letting them know I truly care about them
being there for them when they’re down

telling them the truth they need to hear
in a way that gives them direction and hope.

Because that’s the kind of encouragement I need!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:16)

You ensure that every sin has a consequence, Jesus.

The bigger the sin
the bigger the consequence.

The good news?

You reward every good thought, word or deed.

Let’s see…

which would I like to make my goal? 😉

Embrace God’s priority as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
(Titus 2:4-5)

That’s my goal, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not to get my way.
Not to impress people.
Not to be successful.

My life’s goal is to honor You in such a way

that no one will malign Your holy Word!

Pray this Lazaroo in simple awareness:

“I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
(Genesis 3:10)

The thing is, Jesus

I’m always naked before You.

You know my every thought
see my every action
hear my every word.

You know what I’m going to think, say and do

before I do it.

That day in the garden Adam and Eve hid in vain.

There’s no hiding from You!

My goal?

Think, speak and act with such purity

that I have nothing to hide.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…who…rejoice when they reach the grave…”
(Job 3:22)

Job’s suffering was so great

that the grave looked good to him, Jesus!

He’s certainly not the only person in the midst of pain and anguish

who’s felt that way.

But of course, the grave’s not the end.

It’s only the beginning:

Hell for those who’ve rejected You
Heaven for those who’ve trusted You as their Savior.

My goal isn’t the grave, Father!

It’s the joy of what awaits me on the other side.

Thursday, June 28, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…the Levites…took their places…”
(Ezra 3:10)

That’s what I desire, Jesus –

to take my place –
the one You’ve assigned to me
the one You’ve equipped me to fill.

No matter how good it looks

I don’t want somebody else’s place.
It wouldn’t be a fit.

Besides, I’d be blocking them from what’s theirs
and missing what’s mine.

So show me my place!

And if for some reason I keep missing it

just pick me up and put me there.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused intent:

“…on behalf of Christ…”
(Philippians 1:29)

That’s how I intend to live my life, Jesus –

on behalf of You.

I want everything I think, say and do

to be for You.

If that truly is my heart, my plan, my goal, my purpose –

how can I go wrong?

There’s no higher reason for living

no greater way to move singlemindedly through each day.

Rise up within me in power, Holy Spirit!

so that my intent

will be fulfilled in action.
