Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad”
(Isaiah 5:3-4)

I don’t know what more You could have done for me, Jesus!

I only pray that when You look at the results
of Your loving investment in me

You will find more good grapes
than bad.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.”
(1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

You’re my judge, Jesus.

But even better
You’re my compassionate, loving, merciful Savior!

Others see my results.

You see my heart –
how passionately I long to please You!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:27)

This is eye-opening, Jesus!

You don’t want me to waste Your time
trying to force people to pay attention to You.

I need to tell them about You as clearly and accurately as I can

then leave the results to You.

If they listen, they’re in!

If they refuse
they excluded themselves.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple trust:

“…perhaps you will be sheltered…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

As promises go, Jesus

this one leaves more than a little to be desired!

I like the definite promises that begin with words like, “You will!

Those that begin with the word, “perhaps” scare me.

What if I do everything You command

but don’t get what I want?

Oh.

You’re teaching me humility, aren’t You?
You’re also teaching me obedience for its own reward

while leaving the results
in Your loving hands.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:20)

It’s easy to overvalue what I do, Jesus.

It seems important to me, or I wouldn’t do it.

But when I check back on the results

I’m stunned to see how little of my work actually matters.

Still, my one comfort is this:

You judge the intent of my heart.

If what I’m doing is truly for You

You transform it into eternal, heavenly treasure.

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

“As a result…”
(Mark 1:45)

That’s what every one of my actions has, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A result.

It’s what every word I speak has, too:

a result.

Nor is my mind exempt! Every thought I think has

a result.

Since that’s the case, I dare not

do what I want to do
say what I feel like saying
let my thoughts run

without first thinking through their consequences and what will happen

as a result.
