Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
(1 Corinthians 3:5-7)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for the teachers You’ve given me.

But I’m relying on You alone

to make me grow!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then [Jesus] told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.”
(John 2:8-9)

Any time You issue an order Jesus

I want to hear it
and obey it

because I know I’ll be as blessed by it

as was the master of that banquet!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

‘Woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim.”
(John 2:4-7

Mary didn’t tell you what to do, Jesus.

All she did was present the need

and leave it up to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in appreciative wonder:

“May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
(Ruth 2:13)

Hope. Gratitude. Humility.

No wonder You chose this woman
to be Your great-great-many times removed grandmother, Jesus!

She wasn’t even a Jew.

She was one of the hated Moabites!

No matter.

You chose her!

Just as You have chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Stay here with my servant girls.”
(Ruth 2:8)

That wasn’t a put-down, Jesus.

Boaz told Ruth to stay with his servant girls
because that’s where it was safe.

Bad things can happen to a woman gleaning alone
surrounded by men in a stranger’s field.

Bad things can happen to me, too.

Some already have.

Well, that is, they would have been bad…

except that I’m among Your servants

doing Your work

the only place where it’s eternally safe.
