Pray this Lazaroo in sweet recognition:

“But brothers and sisters…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

What a great reminder, Jesus!

People worldwide who claim You as their Savior –
some of whom attend my church –

are not just Christians
not merely acquaintances
even friends.

They’re family –
my forever brothers and sisters.

If my dad is a Christian

he’s also my brother.

If my mom is a Christian

she’s also my sister.

If my biological brother or sister are Christians

they’re also…well…

better than a mere brother or sister!

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit perspective:

“…a person…must leave all they own…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

What a sobering reminder, Jesus!

I need to make a cool assessment of the things I’ve accumulated and face it:

None of it goes with me.

Naked I came into this world
Naked of even my flesh I depart.

You expect me to be a good steward of all You’ve placed in my care

without becoming attached to any of it.

Every possession I get to keep
awaits me in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“But as for you…”
(Deuteronomy 1:40)

What a reminder, Jesus.

There’s everybody else
and then there’s me.

Sometimes You tell us all to do the same thing.

But without exception
each of our roads is different in some respect.

Help me be a team player when You want me to jump in with the rest.

But may I always be ready to do what nobody else is doing
when You send me out on my own
with a unique, holy assignment.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…this is not your resting place…”
(Micah 2:10)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus.

This world is not my home.

You’ve placed me here for a purpose.

I can ignore it, reject it, do some of it
or give everything I’ve got –

in Your wisdom and strength
and with Your awesome blessing and favor

to fulfill it.

But regardless, when my turn is up

You’ll take me out.

The closer I get to my exit

the more I’m determined

to get ‘er done.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…you must not be a prostitute…”
(Hosea 3:3)

Well, duh, Jesus.

That’s kind of a standing rule, isn’t it?

Why would Hosea say this to his wife?

It was because You told him to take her back, wasn’t it?
Even though she’d been unfaithful to him.

Broken laws need to be restated.

Am I in violation of any of Your commands, LORD?
If so, please tell me again

and in Your great mercy
give me another chance to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focus:

“…watch the road…”
(Nahum 2:1)

It’s easy to get distracted on my journey, Jesus

I’m tempted to look for ways to entertain myself
when it appears not much is happening

paying too much attention
to things that don’t matter.

But only one thing is essential:

to discover why You’ve put me on this highway
and to arrive at my destination
on time.

To do that…

I’ve got to watch the road.

Thank You for the reminder, Father.

I will.
