Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter conviction:

“…there is one God…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

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

One reason is their distaste for accountability.
They don’t want to admit there is any God at all.

Another reason is their distaste for homework.

If God exists and there’s only one of Him

that puts a whole lot of pressure on them to be absolutely certain

which of all the gods out there is You
meaning all the others

are false.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed resolve:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD…”
(2 Kings 3:2)

When it comes to doing good or evil, Jesus

Yours are the only eyes that matter.

My culture applauds behaviors You call sin.
My culture decries actions You command me to carry out.

Without question, my culture exerts a lot of pressure on me to conform.

But last time I checked…

at the end of my life I will stand before You
and not my culture.
