Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Shallum…and his fellow gatekeepers…were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. In earlier times Phinehas…was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. Zechariah…was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:19-21)

You place a high priority on guarding the entrances to Your dwellings, Jesus!

May I do the same –

never allowing anyone or anything to enter my life
that would compromise my relationship with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly determination:

“The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.”
(1 Chronicles 9:13)

Make me like these, Jesus –

able…and responsible –
ministering in Your house.

Only You – the Giver of every good gift –

can make me competent to do Your Work!

Help me be truly responsible –

fulfilling my duties day after day, without fail.

And no matter where You place me in Your Church –

from the front to the back pew –

use me to minister to Your precious people!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focused intent:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you.”
(1 John 2:24)

It doesn’t do much good, Jesus

to hear the great, life-changing truths of Your Word

then fail to remember them

not build every aspect of my life upon them.

You’ve told me to see to it that I don’t let that happen.

That means I’m the one responsible.

If I don’t do it
I have no one to blame but myself.

Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Salute Your Commander, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.”
(Leviticus 5:1)

So much for, “It’s none of my business,” Jesus.
So much for, “I don’t want to get involved.”
So much for, “If I speak up, it’ll backfire on me.”
So much for, “Why speak up? It won’t do any good.”

You’re the One who made sure I witnessed it –

…and who holds me accountable to testify.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam…which he had caused Israel to commit…”
(2 Kings 3:3)

A leader of anything has a terrible responsibility, doesn’t he, Jesus?

Not only does she have to answer for her own actions
but You hold her accountable for the actions of those under her care.

Certainly, it’s not the leader’s fault if his people go astray

so long as he’s led faithfully, according to Your Word.

But if he hasn’t?
God help him.

Listen for the Holy Spirit’s prompt, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He was appointed over those who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary.”
(Numbers 3:32)

That’s a lot of responsibility, Jesus –

to be responsible for those who are responsible.

Not everyone’s cut out for that.

Sometimes people are envious of those in authority
not realizing the unrelenting weight they bear.

I’m not asking for more than You’ve given me.

All I ask is this:

Make my assignment crystal clear
Then equip and inspire me to do it.
