Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [who]…made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
(Philippians 2:5, 7-8)

Wow, Jesus.

You didn’t have to do that!

In fact, You shouldn’t have.
Not for the likes of me.

But You did!

You lowered Yourself for a person who couldn’t get any lower

because You love me

and want to lift me up higher
than I could ever imagine.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“The LORD will…again choose…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

When I’ve done what I shouldn’t have, Jesus

sinning against You

when my sins have forced You to discipline me

bringing me pain, sorrow, suffering, excruciating regret

it can feel like You and I will never be close again
that I’ve forever lost the precious intimacy we had –

until, in repentance, I look up in happy, near disbelief

to realize You choose once again

to experience deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with me.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed perspective:

“…he began to draw back…”
(Galatians 2:12)

There’s a time to draw back, Jesus –

when I’ve made a mistake.

But sometimes it’s a mistake to draw back.

The great Apostle Peter was making that mistake.

How many times have I drawn back when I shouldn’t have

or failed to draw back when I should?

That’s done. In the past.

You want me to learn from it
not obsess over it.

From now on

may I listen solely to You.
