Better think twice, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…your destruction of animals will terrify you.”
(Habakkuk 2:17)

Seriously, Jesus?

Who cares that much about animals?

You do.

That means I’d be wise to care about them, too.

But a whole lot of people don’t.

They forget:

You’re their Creator!

which makes it a dangerous thing to ignore.

When You create

You’re invested.
You intend to fulfill Your purpose.

It would be a very good idea for me

to discover Your purpose for Your creation
and do my best to honor it.

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 in zealous love:

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.”
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

I don’t take this seriously enough, do I, Jesus?

This is real.
We together – Your Church – are Your temple.

Help us at least begin to grasp the honor You have bestowed on us!

Rise up within us, Holy Spirit
to live accordingly.

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

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress.’”
(Hosea 3:1)

Seriously, Jesus?
Seriously?

Seriously.

For a husband to take his cheating wife back is hard enough.

But to show her love?

Who can do that?

You can.

And You do…

every time I sin against You and come crawling back.

If that’s how You treat me

how can I do less for others?
