Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”
(James 3:13)

Once again I’m reminded, Jesus:

Talk is cheap.

It’s not enough that I know the truth.

I have to live it!

If it’s truth I’m living

I won’t be boastful or proud.
I’ll be grateful and humble.

That’s the good life to which You’ve called me –

one that’s safe for others to follow.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-guided introspection:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims! The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots! Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears!”
(Nahum 3:1-3)

The city of Ninevah had it all, Jesus…

everything they needed to wreak havoc
on the weaker peoples around them.

How am I equipping myself, Father?

Is it all about being a blessing to others
or only about making things better

for myself?

Pray this Lazaroo in new awareness:

“Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”
(Jude 1:22-23)

I’ve heard it for years, Jesus:

“Hate the sin, love the sinner.”

Most people don’t say anything about the sinner’s clothing.

But we should.
Your Word doesn’t contain throwaway lines.
Every Word from Your mouth has a specific purpose.

Clearly, You not only don’t want me to sin

You don’t want me to dress like a sinner!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”
(Titus 2:10)

That’s extra incentive to live the way you had in mind

when You gave Your life for me on the cross, Jesus!

Not only to please You

but also to inspire others to believe in You
and give their lives to You.

So now the question:

Am I living in every way to make the teaching about You attractive?

If not, please show me!
So I can correct it.
Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices.”
(1 Chronicles 9:28-29)

Mundane tasks, Jesus?

Not when they’re done for You!

Everything I do for You

has deep, significant, eternal meaning!

Sell out totally to God as you pray ths Lazaroo:

“…to others show mercy, mixed with fear…”
(Jude 1:23)

At first, this sounds counterintuitive, Jesus.

Shouldn’t showing mercy be one of the happiest, safest actions on the planet?

Well…I might think so.

But actually, when I show mercy to someone who’s doing wrong
I’m in contact with a deadly, highly-contagious spiritual disease

especially if the recipient of my mercy
points out that my mercy means

they just got away with it!

Supernatural wisdom.

I desperately need Your supernatural wisdom.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“As I listened, he said to the others, ‘Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.’”
(Ezekiel 9:5-6)

Such violent, merciless punishment violates our modern sensibilities, Jesus.

But we fail to recognize the depth of idolatry’s evil
and the rapidity with which it infects those it touches.

At some point I have to decide:

Do I trust my LORD and Savior to do only what’s right?

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

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted…”
(Titus 2:9-10)

I’m Your slave, Jesus!

I desperately want to show you and others
that I’m trustworthy.

But my problem is that sometimes

I haven’t been.

I need Your help to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Please give me another chance.

Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:17-18)

That’s my prayer, too, Jesus!

Root and establish me – and all your people – in love.

Grant us Your power to grasp just how much You love us

so that, filled with Your love
we will be unable to rest

until we have shared Your love
with as many as possible.
