Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 2:5)

What are “spiritual sacrifices,” Jesus?

They have to be something I do – or don’t do –

with my own spirit.

What does my spirit want that isn’t best for my relationship with You?

I’ll give that up.

What does my spirit not want to do, that You desire?

That…I will do.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood…”
(1 Peter 2:5)

When I see this, Jesus, my first thought is

“Naw…me? A priest? No way!

But then I realize You’re the one saying it

which makes it absolutely true.

Still, I have to confess:

Not only do I not feel like a priest
but there are plenty of days when I know for a fact

I’m not anything close to holy.

Even so, I love the way You worded it:

“…are being built…”

which means it’s a process

in which I have a long, long way to go!

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent trust:

“As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…”
(1 Peter 2:4)

Others may have rejected You, Jesus…

but not I!

You’re my All…my Everything – the Ever-Living Stone!

You’re precious not only to Your heavenly Father
but precious beyond all measure to me.

Make me into the perfect living stone for my place

in Your spiritual house.
