Pray this Lazaroo in grateful peace:

“They…put its doors and bolts and bars in place.”
(Nehemiah 3:6)

It’s a shame to have to do that to a door, Jesus.

Doors are meant to keep out the cold and heat
provide easy passage in and out.

But evil lurks outside every door:

thieves, rapists, murderers.

So to the beauty of a massive city door

they were forced to add bolts and bars.

I’m forced to do the same

while knowing only You
can keep me safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-open humility:

“…in my absence…”
(Philippians 1:27)

An awful lot happens in my absence, Jesus.

Ha! Almost everything does!
Much of it good…much not.

Either way, it’s humbling –

to witness how many wonderful things take place
without my help

to learn how many horrible things occur
behind my back.

In my own strength

I don’t have the power to make anything happen, do I?
nor can I prevent the bad from taking place.

Only You, LORD, only You.

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Nation will not take up sword against nation…”
(Isaiah 2:4)

We all long for that day, Jesus!

Well…those of us who love peace.

This is Your promise:

That day will come.

Millions are working and praying for it.

But it won’t be ours until the Last Day.
Nor will we bring it about.

You will.

Until then, thank You for the men, women, leaders and nations willing to take up swords

so the rest of us don’t have to.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…handed down to you from your forefathers…”
(1 Peter 1:18)

Nuthin’ like a hand-me-down, Jesus…

‘specially when it’s from those who’ve gone before me
those through whom You gave me life.

I wouldn’t be here without them.
I owe them a lot.

But I don’t owe them everything.

Everything…

…is what I owe You.

Only You.

Please, LORD!

Help me figure out which of my ancestors’ hand-me-downs
I need to slip on…

and which I need to slip off.
