Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building. They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.”
(Ezra 4:4-5)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus

until one of them comes after me.

What would I do, if I didn’t have You!

You alone are my Protector and Deliverer!

Pray this Lazaroo with concern:

“…Diotrephes…loves to be first…”
(3 John 1:9)

What’s up with people like that, Jesus?

Are they leaders? Role models? Winners?
People I’d love to have on my team?

Well…no.

You haven’t called me to be better than anyone else.

You want me to be the best version of myself

You’ve created me to be

then leave the outcome to You.

You’re looking for people who long to please You

not people driven to be superior to everyone else.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“And one thing more…”
(Philemon 1:22)

I know people like that, Jesus.

They ask me to do just one thing for them.

I agree.

Then – once they’ve got me on the hook –

they tack on “…one thing more.”

But I confess:

I’m one of those people, too
with You.

There’s no end to the number of requests I make of You, LORD!

No matter how much You do for me
I always want You to do…

“…one thing more.”
