Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted determination:

“Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.”
(Proverbs 4:1-2)

That’s the prayer of every Godly parent, Jesus!

But do the children listen?
Do they take it to heart?

Do they remember it?
Do they put it into practice?

No parent can make a child respond to their hard-earned wisdom, no matter how hard they try.

But as Your child

that’s exactly what I’m determined to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…if you show favoritism, you sin…”
(James 2:9)

We all have favorites, don’t we, Jesus?

a parent, child, grandchild
friend, coworker, church member.

Maybe we like the way they look or act

enjoy the gifts You’ve given them
connect with their more attractive personalities.

But when it comes to how I treat them

You demand that I be absolutely fair
treating them in accordance with what is right

or I will cease to be one of Your favorites!

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ…”
(James 2:1)

This is about as clear as You could possibly make it, Jesus:

If someone believes in You
they’re family.

They’re as much my brother and my sister

as though we shared the same biological mom and dad.

On second thought, they’re even more.

As good as natural parents can possibly be
none of them can match You.

My truest family

is the one that lasts
forever.
