Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…allotted ten towns…”
(1 Chronicles 6:61)

Why were Kohath’s descendants allotted those ten towns, Jesus?

Because that’s how many they needed.

That perfectly explains why You’ve allotted all my possessions to me.

I sometimes ask for more
and sometimes You give it.

But when You don’t give me more

it’s because I don’t need it.

In fact, sometimes You give me more

to let me discover for myself
that sometimes what I think I want

is too much.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD…”
(Ezra 3:11)

You deserve that, Jesus!

Sometimes we’re too reserved.

We’re too worried about what people will think of us if we raise our hands or loudly lift our voices to You in praise

which means I’m thinking more of myself
than I’m focused on praising You.

True, I’ve got to be considerate of others.

But if I’m going to offend somebody
let it be them…not You.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter submission:

“Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden…?”
(Job 3:23)

Well…because every man’s – and woman’s! – life is hidden from them.

Isn’t that right, Jesus?

Just about the time I think I’ve got it all figured out

I’m shown quite clearly – and sometimes stunningly –
that I don’t.

You alone know the way I’m about to take.

I can carefully lay plans

that will never be realized

because I’m not in control of my life.

You Are.

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

I can’t take it with me, Jesus.

Of course, I know that.
But sometimes I don’t act like it.

The more I love the things I’ve acquired

the harder it will be to leave them
when my time on this earth is through.

But knowing they will soon not be mine

might make me regard my treasures

with wiser perspective.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…send them on their way…”
(3 John 1:6)

That can be a euphemism for saying goodbye, Jesus.

But sometimes people don’t want to leave
even though I desperately want them to.

Maybe it’s because they’re lonely.

In that case, help me cut them some slack
and love on them a little more before they go.

But please help me recognize when it’s because they’re killing time!

so I can wisely, kindly, firmly
send them on their way without delay.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the…struggle…you saw I had…”
(Philippians 1:30)

So how do I respond to people’s struggles, Jesus?

Sometimes I hurt with them, feel it to the bone
fervently pray.

But at other times, not so much.

Sometimes I quickly look away
not wanting to grapple with it.

Sometimes I shudder,
thinking, “Glad it’s not me.”

Sometimes I believe they’re getting
what they deserve.

Forgive me, LORD!

Enable me to respond to their pain
as I beg You to respond to mine.

Wise up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Many will follow their shameful ways…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

When “everybody’s doing it,” Jesus

it’s tempting to do it with them.
It feels safer.

But not when the crowd is opposed to You!

‘cause that whole crowd is marching right over the cliff.

Is it tough to stand alone?

Sometimes, yes.

But I’m not alone, am I?

I have You –

not to mention untold millions of my brother and sister Christians.

Because Satan’s a liar.
Everybody’s not “doing it.”
