Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority.”
(2 Peter 2:9-10)

There are times and circumstances, Jesus

when none of us likes being told what to do.

And of course, there are evil people in authority

whose sinful commands must be disobeyed.

But may I always be wholeheartedly responsive

to the commands of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the Lord pasture them like lambs in a meadow?”
(Hosea 4:16)

I don’t want to be like that stubborn heifer Jesus –

a young female cow that hasn’t yet borne a calf –

who stops when You say “Go!”
who runs away when You say, “Come!”
who rejects Your chosen path.

Make me as responsive and obedient to You

as the most attentive, compliant, eager-to-please lamb!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the…struggle…you saw I had…”
(Philippians 1:30)

So how do I respond to people’s struggles, Jesus?

Sometimes I hurt with them, feel it to the bone
fervently pray.

But at other times, not so much.

Sometimes I quickly look away
not wanting to grapple with it.

Sometimes I shudder,
thinking, “Glad it’s not me.”

Sometimes I believe they’re getting
what they deserve.

Forgive me, LORD!

Enable me to respond to their pain
as I beg You to respond to mine.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the whole house of Israel is hardened…”
(Ezekiel 3:7)

How does a person get that way, Jesus?

Is it their response to disappointment?
Is it the byproduct of repeated sin?

I’m guessing this hardening is accompanied by cynicism.

That’s a form of unbelief, isn’t it?
maybe with some stubbornness mixed in.

Regardless, a hardened heart can’t be a good thing.

I don’t ever want to get that way, Father!

Keep me soft, tender, pliable, responsive
in Your loving hands.
