Saturday, August 5, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.”
(1 Peter 2:12)

Pagans are going to accuse me of doing wrong, Jesus.

When I stand against sin and for righteousness
it will violate their heathen standards.

But because You’re the Creator of us all

some values remain constant for everyone.

Help me knock it out of the park with those!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. ‘For whom am I toiling,’ he asked, ‘and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?’”
(Ecclesiastes 4:8)

I suspect this man’s work was his enjoyment, Jesus!

Some people like to play games.
Others like to watch shows.
Still others enjoy visiting with friends.

But some people get the most pleasure from their work.

Help me enjoy whatever You’ve called me to do!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.”
(1 Samuel 3:1)

My guess, Jesus?

Most of us can identify.

In these days, there aren’t many visions.
Some, yes. But not many.

The question is: Why?

It’s certainly not because You have nothing to say.

Could it be because You’re waiting for us to obey Your Word in its written form

before there’s any reason to tell us something else?

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.”
(Nehemiah 4:6)

That’s the key to real progress, isn’t it, Jesus?

To work with all our hearts.

And not just one or two of us.
All of us.

It’s rare, though.

Why is it that only some of us serve You with that kind of passion?

What we need is all-out revival!
Will You bring that to pass in our lifetimes?

Revive us again!

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened awareness:

“…Jesus asked them, ‘Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?’ But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.”
(Mark 3:4-5)

That’s how You work nearly every miracle, Jesus –

in spite of our animosity, doubt and outright disbelief.

True, some miracles are granted to those who have faith

which comes directly from You

as a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“The Lord their God…will restore their fortunes.”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

When things were going well for me, Jesus, I loved it.

I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I discovered:

It wasn’t.

My sins caused some of it – maybe all of it.

But it might have simply been
that You needed me to fight some of Your battles.

If my suffering is caused by sin, I’ve got to repent!

Either way, I long to live once more

under the spout
where Your glory comes out!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…Mary…was pledged to be married…and was expecting a child…the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”
(Luke 2:5-7)

Just like then, Jesus

some of those You love so much
have no room for You in their hearts.

May my heart be so full of love for You

that it makes up the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Lack of fear can be a good thing, Jesus…

but not in this case.

Fear of doing wrong, knowing full well You’re watching

is the beginning of wisdom.

Most of us don’t have that fear nearly enough.

For some, it’s a lack of belief.

But for others of us
it’s knowing how much You love us!
