Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

That’s both a harsh word, Jesus

and an immensely comforting one.

Do I want everyone to get what they deserve?

No.

In that case, I’d go to hell.

But when evil people arrogantly, relentlessly, unrepentantly harm others?

The purity of Your righteousness
demands an accounting.

Nevertheless, I will pray for their repentance and restoration

until it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away.”
(Hosea 4:2-3)

Most people have no idea, Jesus –

that our blatant, willful, persistent sin
can negatively impact the environment
ultimately destroying wildlife.

Please, LORD:

Keep me pure!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate hope:

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

What a blessing for our younger women, Jesus!

There’s nothing like seeing someone live it in front of me
to learn how it’s done
and witness the wholesome result.

Help me be pure, Holy Spirit!

I long to be a good example for others
but most of all to live the way You’ve called me to live.

I owe You that.

But when I do
I’m the one who wins.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple awareness:

“I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
(Genesis 3:10)

The thing is, Jesus

I’m always naked before You.

You know my every thought
see my every action
hear my every word.

You know what I’m going to think, say and do

before I do it.

That day in the garden Adam and Eve hid in vain.

There’s no hiding from You!

My goal?

Think, speak and act with such purity

that I have nothing to hide.

Take stock as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.”
(Titus 2:15)

That explains a lot, Jesus.

Cynical – especially in some situations – is wise.

But the immovable cynic

has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do.

When I’ve been burned over and over again

I’m tempted to become a cynic –
someone who believes nothing is pure.

But that totally disrespects You –

whose specialty
is removing impurity from my life.
