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

“Their throat is an open grave…”
(Psalms 5:9)

Pretty graphic, Jesus.

Over the top, though?
An exaggeration?

Sadly, no.
I’ve run into some like that.

As with a grave prepared for mourners

they can look peaceful, even beautiful.

But the closer I get

the more danger I’m in.

They’re a hole in the ground.

If I fall into it, I can break my neck.
People would throw dirt on top of me.

O God!

From such people, spare me!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“He walked with me in peace…”
(Malachi 2:6)

May that be said of me, Jesus

now…

and after I depart –

when my time on earth is through.

Can that be said of me?

On my good days, yes.

But there are still too many days of my life that I surrender to

doubt
fear
worry
turmoil
unrest.

My fault. Not Yours.

You’ve promised to keep me in perfect peace

if I will keep my mind steadfast
trusting You.

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly desire:

“…that we may live peaceful…lives…”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

Some people seem to enjoy constant drama, Jesus.

If it’s not happening around them, they’re bored.

If things become too quiet for their taste, they’ll stir the pot themselves

goading others into a reaction, good or bad.

They don’t care, so long as everything’s hopping.

Turmoil…is their entertainment.

Please rescue me from these people, LORD!

Never permit me to become one of their number.

Make me…

a lover of peace.
