Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”
(Proverbs 4:19-22)

What a contrast, Jesus!

I get to choose:

be clueless about what caused
my last face plant

or live an overcoming life
in the Light of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy passion:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure…Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

It’s not the stuff I build that lays up heavenly treasure, is it, Jesus?

It’s the people You work through me to build

who are living Your overcoming life!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said: ‘Go, shut yourself inside your house. And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:24-25)

So much for the popular notion, Jesus

that those who follow You will never face problems!

But so long as You keep raising me to my feet, Holy Spirit

I’ll keep facing and overcoming each one.

Pray this Lazaroo in profound gratitude:

“The one who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.”
(Revelation 2:11)

That’s extremely good to know, Jesus…

because the first death scares the livin’ tar out of most of us.

Consequently, hearing there’s a second death out there, just waiting…

doesn’t do just a whole lot for our emotional health.

But as much as I dread the painful dying experience of the first death

I love knowing I don’t have to fear what comes after.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…and turned many from sin.”
(Malachi 2:6)

I would love for You to be able to say that about me, Jesus!

Sin robs my friends, family
church members, coworkers

of so much.

But what’s the best way to turn them away from sin’s ugly clutches?

Should I warn them of its consequences?
show them examples of those who’ve caved in?

Or is the most effective help I could ever give them

to live a pure, overcoming, sin-conquering life
myself?
