Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“…say to the poor man, ‘You stand there…’”
(James 2:3)

Nothing wrong with telling a poor man where to stand, Jesus.
Nothing wrong with telling a rich man where to sit.

But when I tell a man he can have seat because he’s rich
and tell a man he has to stand because he’s poor

I’m in trouble.
With You.

Of course, I don’t believe in disrespect.
I don’t believe in showing favoritism.

Except…am I guilty of doing it?

Pray this Lazaroo with desperation:

“Be clean!”
(Mark 1:41)

Taken out of context, that sounds like another command I can’t obey, Jesus.

But it’s not.

You weren’t telling that leprous man to make himself clean.

You were commanding the leprosy to disappear.
You were ordering Satan to leave him alone.

You were exercising Your miraculous power
to erase that poor man’s agony.

I keep failing You in the same old ways, Jesus.

I beg You!

Command this leprosy in my soul to

“Be clean!”
