Pray this Lazaroo in wisdom, self-control and total trust:

“…forfeiting your life.”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

That seems incomprehensible, Jesus!

Why would anyone forfeit his life?
Why would she throw away something so precious?

But people do it all the time. Why?

Because Your gracious gift of life can become soiled, feel ruined

by sin…pain…sickness…fear…hatred…loss.

And in the darkness that our emotions and Satan himself brings

people can lose hope
abandon perspective
think irrationally

act hastily…foolishly.

But You’re the Giver of life!

My life is not my own to take.

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

I can’t take it with me, Jesus.

Of course, I know that.
But sometimes I don’t act like it.

The more I love the things I’ve acquired

the harder it will be to leave them
when my time on this earth is through.

But knowing they will soon not be mine

might make me regard my treasures

with wiser perspective.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom…”
(Daniel 2:23)

There’s no wisdom like Your wisdom, Jesus!

Human beings spout a form of wisdom
that is no wisdom at all.

It’s short-sighted, ultimately false
predicated, as it is, solely on what the eye can see.

But Your wisdom is eternal.

You take into account the whole scope of creation
from the very beginning through ages unknown.

Give me the wisdom of Your Big Picture, Father!

Every time.
