Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Do nothing out of…vain conceit…”
(Philippians 2:3)

It would be helpful if you would show me how I end up with such an attitude, Jesus.

Everything I am, everything I have is from You.
How could I ever arrive at the conclusion that it originates with me?

Is it the praise of others – directed to me rather than You?

If so, when that happens, I need to be extremely diligent

about deflecting the praise to You
to set the record straight.

Be energized, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When the news reached the king of Ninevah…”
(Jonah 3:6)

For the average person

it’s almost impossible to get a message to a big country’s leader, Jesus.

Even if it affects a huge number of people

telling them what they need to hear seems hopeless.

But it isn’t!

Not for You!

If the message on my heart for that leader comes from You

show me how to send it in the most effective way!

I’ll trust You to deliver it.

Pray this Lazaroo in clear-headed obedience:

“…it was the practice of the priests…”
(1 Samuel 2:13)

Just because it’s a priest who does it

doesn’t make it right, Jesus.

The same goes for pastors, mothers, fathers, popes and presidents.

Honored position doesn’t insure righteous behavior.

In this case, the priests under Eli were engaging in detestable behavior.

Open my eyes, LORD!
Please don’t let me be blinded by position!

Show me how to wisely deal with such leaders

and never follow in their evil footsteps.

Pray this Lazaroo in total allegiance:

“…what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband…”
(Ruth 2:11)

Boaz nailed it, Jesus.

It wasn’t what Ruth did for her mother-in-law while her husband lived.
That could have been out of love for her husband.

It was what she did for her mother-in-law after her husband died.
That was what demonstrated her love for her mother-in law.

Show me how to love others with Your love – for Your sake.

No other incentive needed.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you…write them on the tablet of your heart.”
(Proverbs 3:3)

So, Jesus…

my heart has a tablet.

I know – not the kind of tablet sold in electronics stores

but a real tablet nonetheless

the kind that goes deep into my very being
forever changing my thoughts, words, behavior.

Show me how to write Your words on the tablet of my heart, Holy Spirit!

ensuring that I will mature, grow, understand
and honor You.
