Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…to present you holy in his sight…”
(Colossians 1:22)

We’re talking about a miracle, Jesus.

I don’t see how I could look holy in anyone’s sight
especially Yours.

But if that’s Your goal, it has to be mine.

Except I can’t.

I don’t mean I refuse.

I mean that no matter how hard I try
I fall short.

If I’m ever to appear holy in Your Father’s sight

it will have to be because He sees You
in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies…”
(Psalms 5:8)

I don’t know, Jesus –

Is it easier to live a righteous life while my enemies are attacking
or when it appears they’re giving me a break?

While under attack

I might lean hard on You…
or get discouraged and sin.

When free from attack

I might worship You in gratitude…
or grow complacent and stray.

Please, LORD!

In trouble or not
lead me all the time.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD is righteous…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s what terrifies me about my relationship with You, Jesus!

You’re righteous
I’m not.

You’re holy.
I’m not.

You’re perfect.
I’m not.

You’re sinless.
I’m not.

If friendship is built on commonality, I’m as far away from You as the east is from the west

which…come to think of it…
is how far You’ve removed my sins from me.

So there’s only one prayer I dare pray, isn’t there?

Be Yourself in me.

 Ask God to show it to you straight, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…how…righteous…we were among you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:10)

When a righteous person walks into the room, things often get quiet, Jesus.

There’s respect, yes
maybe fear

more than a little nervousness…discomfort.

Why?

Perhaps because a righteous person reminds us of our own

unrighteousness.

Do I long for Your righteousness to rise within me, LORD?

There’s a lot of downward pressure from my culture
even from some close to me

to just be one of the crowd.

Time to choose.
