Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“See, I will make you small…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Yes, Jesus.

I’ve seen.
You can make me very, very small.

But that’s a good thing, right?

It is, if I accept Your discipline

humble myself

and totally surrender to You.

May I never rebel

when You do what You have to do
to correct me.

Keep me small in my own eyes, Father!

even if You bless me in the future

recognizing 100% of the time:

every good thing comes from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in utterly vulnerable trust:

“We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’”
(Hebrews 3:14-15)

I’m holding firmly to my original conviction about You, Jesus

because You’re holding firmly to me.

I do not share in You because I’m holding on.

I hold on because – by grace alone –

You’ve chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…and through him to reconcile to himself all…things in heaven…”
(Colossians 1:20)

Huge task, Jesus…

though not as big as it once was.

There was that war in heaven where – along with Satan – You had to expel one-third of Your angels

sending them to earth.

Obviously, You’ve given them the gift of free will, too.

At times, though, it becomes a curse, doesn’t it?
when I use it to rebel against You.

When I do, LORD…

Please.
Quickly.

Reconcile me.
