Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“The man said, ‘The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then the LORD God said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:12-13)

We insist it’s someone else’s fault, Jesus.

Even though it isn’t.

No matter what the temptation, the threat, the incentive, the circumstances

if I said it or did it, it’s my fault.

Period.

Pray this Lazaroo in submissive recognition:

“…when we were torn away from you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

Clearly, that was a painful time, Jesus

but You allowed it.
It’s entirely possible that You caused it!

Why would You allow something so painful to happen to one of Your own?

It’s because not everything that’s painful is bad, isn’t it?
Sometimes pain is useful, instructive, essential, eye-opening.

No greater example of that hard truth exists

than the suffering You endured on the cross

for those you love.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble recognition:

“He summons his picked troops…”
(Nahum 2:5)

I can select the best helpers out there, Jesus.

I can train them
motivate them
send them out
expect them to do well.

But if they succeed, it will be Your doing.

Not mine.
Not theirs.

If You so decree, they’ll fail –

and there’s not one thing I can do about it.

You’ve called Your people to be involved, Father!

But You don’t want us to ever forget

Who runs the show.
