Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:13-15)

What a tragedy, Jesus

that Solomon didn’t apply his own proverb to himself.

Please.

Help me practice what I preach!

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“The LORD sends poverty and wealth…”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

A lot of people don’t want to hear that, Jesus

…at least, not the first part.

They like the idea of You as the Giver of wealth, prosperity, plenty

they don’t much care for any reference to You
as the Giver of poverty, hardship, want.

So why do both come from You?

Probably because – in Your wisdom –
everything comes from You

the things we like
and the things we don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…you will do well to pay attention to it…”
(2 Peter 2:19)

The old joke isn’t true, Jesus:

“I’m too poor to pay attention.”

The poorer I am, the more attention I need to pay to Your Word.

You…are my only hope out of the ghetto of my poverty.

But that’s not all.

The richer I am, the more attention I need to pay to Your Word.

You…are my only hope out of the ghetto of my self-sufficient pride.
