Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Bold and arrogant…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Bold is good, Jesus –

provided it’s accompanied by total dependence on You.

But when coupled with arrogance?

Bold is always bad –

sometimes immediately
sometimes later.

There are times when bold arrogance appears to work

but that’s only when there’s a long fuse

leading to the moment
when it blows up in their face.

Which is not to say timidity is the answer!

Why be timid

when humbly following You
enables me to be bold as a lion?

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, ‘My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for.’”
(Ruth 3:1)

Naomi was a heartbroken widow, Jesus.

No one would have blamed her
for wanting Ruth to stay and take care of her.

But Naomi entrusted herself to You

and put Ruth’s needs ahead of her own.

O God!

Rise up within me so strongly
that I have that same caring heart toward others!

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering dedication:

“Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for…”
(2 John 1:8)

I tend to think that once I have it, Jesus

it’s mine.

But You’re reminding me that I may have to work as hard to keep it

as I did to attain it.

Maybe harder – because now, I’m a target.
Satan wants to steal what You’ve provided.

But so long as I keep my eyes fixed on You

following You every step of the way

You’ll ensure that Satan comes up

empty-handed.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Yes, they can, Jesus…

provided the older women are themselves self-controlled.

It’s somewhat difficult
to teach something you don’t do.

It’s also extremely helpful for younger women
to see self-control modeled day after day.

Of course, the other side of the equation

is that the younger women must be willing to be taught.

Self-control is hard!

They’ve got to passionately desire it
and be willing to pay the price.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“For the Israelites will live many days without…idol.”
(Hosea 3:4)

You want us to live all our days without idols, Jesus!

But Your people had a hard time doing that.

So You stepped in
and provided the necessary incentive.

I have a hard time staying idol-free too, don’t I?

Oh, I don’t realize it at first.
I think I’m idol-free.

But the moment I hesitate to do Your will because I think something else looks better?

That’s an idol.
