Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of…all its equipment, and everything related to their use…”
(Numbers 3:36)

That last, Jesus, is quite a catch-all:

“…and everything related…” to the tabernacle equipment’s use.

Those kinds of open-ended assignments make me nervous

because all of this is for You!

I’m scared to death I’ll get it wrong

when You deserve to have everything done right.

And then I remember:

So long as I stay 1on1 with You

I can’t fail.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Does a lion…growl in his den when he has caught nothing?”
(Amos 3:4)

I guess not, Jesus.

He’d be out hunting
not back at home bragging about his kill.

Y’know…

I’d just as soon not give any lions an excuse to growl
over my dead carcass.

I’m aware that Satan prowls about like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.

I’d just as soon that not be me.

To make sure that never happens
I’m staying close to You

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.”
(Judges 2:14)

A strong enemy is hard enough to defeat, Jesus

impossible without Your help.

From the looks of it, Your people were successful

until they turned their backs on You
and lost their Protector.

That’s not something I ever want to do, LORD!

Not just because I can’t bear for my enemies to win
but because I long to stay close to You.
