Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
(James 3:2)

Of the many ways I can sin, Jesus

it’s most likely to happen
when I open my mouth.

That makes me want to keep my mouth shut.

But the problem with that solution is this:

If I only think it,
it’s still a sin.

No one else may know it
but You do

because You read minds.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.”
(3 John 1:10)

That may be the hardest defense to pull off, Jesus:

defending myself.

The moment I open my mouth, I’m suspect.

After all, the number of guilty people who protest their innocence is legendary.

I have to face the fact that I will never be able

to completely convince people of my innocence.

But You can.

You’re my only hope!
My reputation depends on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…spreading the news.”
(Mark 1:45)

There are times I need to keep my mouth shut, Jesus.

Specifically, when You tell me to!

You told this man You cured of leprosy to tell no one –

knowing that if He did, the religious leaders would seek Your death.

But you place no such restriction on us today.

Just the opposite!

You’ve told us to go into the whole world
and preach Your good news.

Which means:

You’ve issued that command
to me.

Pray this Lazaroo, unashamed:

“The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon…”
(John 1:41)

What an example, Jesus.

Andrew finds You…but doesn’t keep it to himself.

I’ve found You, too.

But the excitement of first discovery
too often gives way to taking it for granted.

I’m so used to the 1on1 relationship with You I enjoy each day

that I may not be telling as many people about You
as desperately need to hear.

Open my eyes!

and my mouth.

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly self-control:

“…does not keep a tight rein on his tongue…”
(James 1:26)

You know how hard it is for anyone to control their tongue, Jesus!

and I’m no exception.

Oh, I think I do all right most of the time…

but that’s not good enough, is it?

Like the rider of a horse that can suddenly buck and gallop away out of control

I’ve got to constantly be on my guard
every time I saddle up to open my mouth.
