Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.”
(1 Timothy 3:8-10)

All these things really matter to You, don’t they, Jesus?

That’s why they matter to me.

May I live out each day
the holy life to which I’m called!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.”
(1 Timothy 3:2-3)

Those are a lot of requirements, Jesus.

No wonder some people see them
and back away from pursuing this holy office.

But these are the bare minimums!

Isn’t this the holy life to which You’ve called
absolutely every one of us?

Pray this Lazaroo in full-armored caution:

“…he pursued him.”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

Help me to be sure of what I’m pursuing, Jesus

making certain You want me to chase it.

Because with the gifts, talents and skills You’ve given me –

plus this burning determination –

I might catch it.

If it’s good, right and holy

and in Your perfect time

bless my pursuit with success!

But what a tragedy it would be if – as with what happened to Asahel –

when I catch it

it catches me.
