Pray this Lazaroo in total submission:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing…”
(Philippians 2:14)

Seriously, Jesus?

“Everything?”

Okay. I know You’re serious about this

but it’s quite clear:

I haven’t been taking this command seriously enough.

When I don’t like what’s going on I tend to grumble.

When I don’t like what somebody’s saying, I tend to argue.

But You want me to cut that out.

All of it.

Okay. I’ll try.

But You know me!
I’m going to need a ton of help from You to pull this off.

Pray this Lazaroo with true understanding:

“In your teaching show…seriousness…”
(Titus 2:7)

Yes, Jesus! Absolutely.

A good bit of teaching Your Word has to show seriousness.

This isn’t just life or death.
It’s eternal life or death!

The reality of heaven and hell is as serious as it gets.

But a teacher can use serious humor to make a point
as You did so many times in Your teaching.

A sourpuss who can’t crack a smile
and who has no sense of humor

will find it very hard
to hold their listeners’ attention.

Pray this Lazaroo with wisdom:

“Then King Solomon swore by the LORD…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Powerful, Jesus.

But not always wise.

Not something I want to do thoughtlessly

on the spur of the moment
just to impress the people I’m with
to make my point.

It’s a serious, solemn, awesome thing to invoke Your Name –

the Name above every name
the Name before which every knee will bow.

No wonder You made it one of your Ten Commandments

not to misuse Your Name!
