Pray this Lazaroo with humble understanding:

“Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.”
(Hebrews 5:1-2)

Help me deal gently with the shortcomings of others, Jesus

since I, too, am subject to weakness.

May I deal with their issues

as tenderly as I want You to deal with mine.

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?

Pray this Lazaroo in growing recognition:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

I need that reminder, Jesus.

I sometimes get so upset with myself
that I forget Who made me!

True – some of my shortcomings are my fault –

stuff I can correct, with Your help.

But how much of who and what I am

is exactly how You designed me?

Instead of wishing I was like somebody else

why don’t I instead lean on You to show me

why I’m the way I am?

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.”
(Jonah 2:8)

Well, that’s just not an option for me, Jesus.

I need Your grace!

I don’t want what I deserve.

I know what I’ve “earned”
with my sin, shortcomings, rebellion, disobedience.

I’m doing my best to turn it around.
I’m giving it all I’ve got.

But what I’ve got
isn’t enough.

I still – inexcusably – mess up.

Which is why I so desperately
need Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…you have this in your favor…”
(Revelation 2:6)

In spite of their shortcomings, Jesus

the Church in Ephesus had something in their favor

which makes me wonder:

What do I have in mine?

What am I doing that You like?

What am I refusing to do that makes You proud of me?
Where am I growing, becoming a little more like You?

I’ve got a lot of shortcomings, Father;

I really need You to find something in my favor.

Pray this Lazaroo in over-the-top trust:

“…let us walk in the light of the LORD.”
(Isaiah 2:5)

I’d better walk in Your light, Jesus!

Everywhere else is gloom, warped mirrors, darkness.

Of course, some people reject Your Light.

They’re afraid it will expose their sins, shortcomings, misdeeds.
They’re right.
It will.

But that’s a good thing!

Lovers of truth want to know where they’re missing it
so they can correct course
and turn it around.

May I always love Truth, Father!

and walk in Your Light.
