Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God, you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites, neither the land along the course of the Jabbok nor that around the towns in the hills.”
(Deuteronomy 2:37)

You have all power, Jesus!

I can go wherever You tell me to go.

But may I never go to a place You’ve declared off limits.

If I try, Your power will leave me

and I’ll fail.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Aaron and his sons are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry. But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”
(Numbers 4:19-20)

There are some things that are off-limits for me, too, Jesus.

Please.
Show me what they are.

May I never desire

what You haven’t given me.

You’ve already given me

far more than I deserve!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered, grateful reflection:

“Your wickedness will punish you…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

There’s a reason why You forbid me to do certain things, Jesus!

It’s not because You’re a kill-joy.
It’s not because You don’t want me to have a good time.

It’s certainly not because You don’t love me
don’t long to see me experience life to the fullest.

It’s because there are thoughts, words and actions

that carry their own terrible punishment.

Out of pure love You tell me:

Don’t go there.
