Ask God to help you follow their example as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will do even more…”
(Philemon 1:21)

Some people are just like that, Jesus.

They’re doers, workers, achievers –

but not merely for a season.

They keep going and going and going

doing even more.

While I focus on what they’ve accomplished

they’ve moved on to the next thing

and the next and the next.

They know their work is never done until You say so.

But they don’t resent it!

Because they know they’re laying up

untold heavenly treasure.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb…”
(1 Chronicles 6:56)

Some of us get the big cities, Jesus

others the fields and smaller towns.

You place each of us where – if we trust You with our whole hearts –

we can thrive.

Interestingly, one may be best for a season

and the other best in the next season of life.

I may have to learn these truths the hard way

but it’s worth the cost.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…you shameful nation…”
(Zephaniah 2:1)

You not only keep track of nations, Jesus

but of every single person in them.

In reality, it’s not the nation that’s shameful

but the sum of the people within it.

If the majority of them repeatedly make bad choices

the nation itself becomes corrupt.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way!

If my nation is one of those in growing jeopardy
we can change…

and the change can ignite through me.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…you have plundered many nations…”
(Habakkuk 2:8)

Some nations are like that, Jesus.

So are some people.

They’re not happy with what You’ve given them.

They want more.

So they steal for themselves

what You’ve given others.

Some of them get away with it

for a while.

But as surely as You’re the righteous Judge

a day of reckoning is coming

swiftly for some
later for others

but from the moment they cross that line

it’s on the way.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then you will become their victim.”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

We all believe we’re better off than some people, Jesus.

But just because that’s true today
doesn’t mean it will always be so.

You raise up those who are low

and humble those You’ve lifted so high
that they’ve become proud and arrogant
convinced of their superiority.

Next time You bless me, LORD

help me be humbled
by the knowledge that it’s Your loving, merciful grace

and not what I deserve.
