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.

 Pray this Lazaroo…in dust and ashes: 

“He shall…burn it on the altar…”
(Leviticus 4:19)

There are some things I need to burn on the altar, Jesus:

my self-centered pride
the fear that You won’t come through for me this time

the excuses I keep coming up with to explain my disobedience
the anger that rises within me when things don’t go my way

my harsh judgmentalism
the deprecating comments I sometimes make about others.

Help me burn every last one of them

to a crisp.

 Pray this Lazaroo in humbled perspective: 

“What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:12)

What a preposterous question, Jesus!

Yet Solomon meant it to the bone.

So far as he was concerned, he had done everything worth doing.

He couldn’t imagine that those who followed him could top it.
There was nothing left.

Am I that blind, Father?

I pray not!

Help me make it my goal to empower those after me

to surpass everything I’ve ever done.
