Pray this Lazaroo in renewed passion:

“…shaming your own house…”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

It’s not about me alone, is it, Jesus?

It’s about those who live with me
those who grew up with me
those I count as friends
those where I work
those in my city, state, country
those in my church.

When I mess up, I shame them.

But the good news is this:

When I please You, I honor them!

And even when I’ve strayed

by returning to You
I give them hope.

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with sobriety:

“…those who oppose you…will be destroyed…”
(Philippians 1:28)

This might seem like heady stuff to some people, Jesus…

but that’s not how it’s supposed to strike me, is it?

Is it encouraging to know that one day I will get relief from my enemies?

Sure.

But it’s also enormously sobering.

I don’t deserve for anybody to be destroyed for opposing me!

But it’s not really about me, is it?

It’s about those who oppose me
because they oppose You.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“…he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

Paul actually cared more about how this man’s sin was affecting the whole church

than he did about how it was affecting him.

That’s the heart of an apostle…a pastor…a Christian.

At some point in our daily walk with You
we’ve got to transition from a life that’s all about

me

to a life that’s all about You

and Your precious people.
