Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…you know that our testimony is true.”
(3 John 1:12)

That was John’s reputation, Jesus.

People knew they could trust him
no matter the circumstances.

As with all reputations
it has to be earned.

With everything in me

I long for that to be my reputation too!

But I know it doesn’t happen because I’ve told the truth most of the time.

I need to be a person who tells the truth all the time
even when it hurts.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him…”
(3 John 1:12)

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Man or woman, Jesus…

do all the people of my town know that about me?

If so, please remind me not to become complacent.
Help me keep living up to my reputation!

If my character is noble but they don’t know

all that matters is that You know.

If my character is not noble, then whether or not they know

You know.

I repent!

Please help me become
everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good…so that those who oppose you may be ashamed…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

So that‘s what does it, Jesus?

Just living the life You’ve called me to live
leaving my reputation to You?

I can do that.

Correction: With Your help, I can do that.

My tendency is to try to fix what others think of me.
But every time I try, I only end up looking worse.

Best leave that to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart that hungers for God:

“…I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

Paul knew the murderous evil he had done, Jesus.

He knew You were aware of it, too

along with countless others.

His reputation among some of Your followers was great

but for good reason
others of Your people hated and feared him.

Sometimes a person’s past behavior gives them away

but with others it’s all in the past.

O Holy Spirit!
How I need Your discernment!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.”
(Revelation 3:1-2)

Deeds, Jesus.

Not words.

You’ve given me a job to do, along with the gifts and ability to do it.

My excuses for not doing it don’t matter.

I’ve got to finish it

while there’s still time.

Commit to stand! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense…”
(3 John 1:9-10)

John wasn’t about to let this pass, Jesus.

Truth is too important.
Reputations are priceless.

If somebody is spreading malicious lies

they need to be stopped.

If what they’re claiming is utter nonsense

the holes, inconsistencies and fallacies
have to be pointed out.
