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

“Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.”
(Esther 3:4)

When the laws of the land conflict with Your Word, Jesus

it’s no contest.

Traditions, customs, police, judges, mayors, governors presidents all lose.

You win.

The only reason I have to pray about it

is to learn from You the wisest way to proceed.

Thursday, June 11, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo in clear-headed obedience:

“…it was the practice of the priests…”
(1 Samuel 2:13)

Just because it’s a priest who does it

doesn’t make it right, Jesus.

The same goes for pastors, mothers, fathers, popes and presidents.

Honored position doesn’t insure righteous behavior.

In this case, the priests under Eli were engaging in detestable behavior.

Open my eyes, LORD!
Please don’t let me be blinded by position!

Show me how to wisely deal with such leaders

and never follow in their evil footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

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

“The small and the great are there…”
(Job 3:19)

The grave is the ultimate leveler, Jesus

claiming presidents, popes and paupers
cheaters, preachers, cowards and heroes
mothers, nuns and prostitutes
billionaires and bums

and oh, yeah – me

unless You come for Your Church first.

I don’t want to die.

But millions who’ve gone before me
felt the same.

I don’t get to choose.

You’ve already chosen it for me.

My only comfort is this:

I know You’ve chosen well.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I urge…that…prayers…be made for…all those in authority…”
(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Okay, Father…

I’ll do it.
Because You asked.

I pray for everyone in authority over me –

long-term and short term
those in the present, those in my past:

parents, babysitters, teachers, coaches
trainers, mentors, landlords, bankers
mayors, policemen and women, judges
congressmen and women, presidents
pastors, elders, group leaders, point people

Give them wisdom, favor, blessing, understanding, compassion, courage, empathy, Biblical standards, consciences, humility.

In Jesus’ Name!
