Acknowledge your need of Him, as you pray this Lazaroo!

“…two prostitutes came to the king…One of them said…‘During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. So she…took my son from my side while I…was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast.’ The other woman said, ‘No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.’”
(1 Kings 3:16, 19-20, 22)

No witnesses, Jesus.

How could Solomon possibly render a just verdict?

The same way I make wise decisions:

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…I will give you…both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”
(1 Kings 3:13-14)

In spite of Your amazing promises to him

Solomon strayed, Jesus.

How is that even possible?

I guess the same way I stray
in spite of all Your amazing promises to me.

Please rise up within me
to break this terrible cycle!

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.”
(1 Timothy 3:8-10)

All these things really matter to You, don’t they, Jesus?

That’s why they matter to me.

May I live out each day
the holy life to which I’m called!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest personal gratitude:

“Come and see…”
(John 1:46)

I would have thought that’s all people needed to do, Jesus.

Phillip told Nathanael to come and see You and he believed.
Many others did the same.

But it’s stunning to realize how many of the Jewish leaders who saw You did not believe.

They already had their minds made up.
They scoffed at your words and ignored your miracles.

It’s the same way today.

Nobody can come to You unless Your Father enables them.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…since you are going through the same struggle…”
(Philippians 1:30)

I’m not alone, am I, Jesus?

Not only are You with me every step

but there are countless others

battling the flesh and the devil
in the exact same ways I am.

They say, “Misery loves company.”

But that’s not why I love knowing
I’m not the only one.

It’s because when I see them winning their fight

it’s proof!

that You’re able to do the same for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in non-argumentative submission:

“…welcome him as you would welcome me.”
(Philemon 1:17)

That’s a tall order, Jesus –

especially if I’m close to the person who’s making the request
and don’t know the person I’m supposed to welcome.

But isn’t that what You ask of me with every Christian I meet?

I’m supposed to treat them the way I’d treat You.

It doesn’t matter that they don’t deserve such a welcome.

That’s what You want
That’s what I’d better make sure You get.
