Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…women are to be worthy of respect…”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

So are the men, Jesus.

We’re not merely to demand respect.
You expect us to earn it.

How?

By the way we speak
by the way we act.

by the way we live our lives wholeheartedly for You – 

staying in Your Word
praying through the day
loving and encouraging Your people

sharing Your Good News
with those who don’t know You

showing others the same mercy
we ourselves have received from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled repentance:

“Anyone who runs ahead…”
(2 John 1:9)

It’s hard to admit, Jesus

but I’ve been guilty of running ahead.

Inexcusably, I got tired of waiting on You.

After praying, I expected an immediate answer.

I gave no thought to Your superior understanding –

that compared to You, I was totally clueless.

So I went ahead with what I thought was best

only to discover to my sorrow

that anyone who runs ahead of Your perfect way and time

ends up running way, waaaaay behind.

Pray this Lazaroo with attentive dedication:

“…praying in the Holy Spirit…”
(Jude 1:20)

There’s praying in myself, Jesus –

Telling You what I want
letting You know what I’m thinking.

That’s okay.
You understand.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s asking what You want

listening to Your reply in my heart
listening to Your reply as I study Your Word
listening to Your reply through life events
listening to Your reply through Your servants

all the while measuring everything I’m hearing

by the whole of Scripture.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate anticipation:

“They went down out of the hills…”
(Joshua 2:23)

When I’m up high, Jesus, it’s hard to leave

especially when I’ve been alone with You.

Of course, Joshua’s two spies had been hiding out for their lives in those hills.

But my guess is, while they were hiding

they were praying.

No one can hide me like You can –

nor equip me when it’s time to come down out of the hills
to face the brutality of the valley.
