Pray this Lazaroo with Golden Rule Godliness:

“How painful are honest words!”
(Job 6:25)

That’s so true, Jesus.

Honest words can be incredibly painful –

Especially when I’m telling someone
something they don’t want to hear
but need to hear.

Help me be honest with everyone!

But also…

help me be kind.

There’s a way to tell a hard truth
using soft, encouraging, uplifting, hope-filled words

and to do so with a humble spirit
in mutual respect

telling others the truth
the way I want it told to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with dogged determination:

“Keep reminding them of these things.”
(2 Timothy 2:14)

Nobody likes to be harassed, Jesus.

However, everybody appreciates a reminder
of something important to them

that they are about to forget.

But what about those things that are far more important

to You, to Your kingdom and to us
than we realize?

Those are the reminders I may not appreciate

but most urgently require.

Don’t let me ignore them, LORD!

Please make me sensitive to even Your softest whisper!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the whole house of Israel is hardened…”
(Ezekiel 3:7)

How does a person get that way, Jesus?

Is it their response to disappointment?
Is it the byproduct of repeated sin?

I’m guessing this hardening is accompanied by cynicism.

That’s a form of unbelief, isn’t it?
maybe with some stubbornness mixed in.

Regardless, a hardened heart can’t be a good thing.

I don’t ever want to get that way, Father!

Keep me soft, tender, pliable, responsive
in Your loving hands.
