Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…you…by your teaching have caused many to stumble…”
(Malachi 2:8)

Teachers are so important – to every one of us, Jesus!

But if teachers can’t be trusted…

if they twist the knowledge they share
if they mislead the trusting, the naïve, the ignorant

everyone who sits under them
is at risk.

True, those who blindly follow their teachers share the blame.

But the teacher who deliberately sticks out a foot to trip them
is at the greatest risk of all.

Let the Light dawn, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…whoever hates his brother…walks around in the darkness…”
(1 John 2:11)

It’s bad enough to hate my brother or sister in You, Jesus

and be stuck in the darkness.

But You’re telling me it doesn’t stop there, Holy Spirit.

You’re explaining that to hate one of Your children –

no matter how weak or obnoxious

is to try to navigate the darkness

without a light.

There’s a whole lot of stumbling, falling, disappointment and pain.

That certainly explains a lot.

Pray this Lazaroo in total honesty:

“Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.”
(1 John 2:10)

I must not love all my brothers and sisters, Jesus

because I sure have done my share of stumbling.

The thing is, I do love my brothers and sisters

officially.

But it’s a lot harder to love some of them

actually.

Maybe it would help if I dared to remember how hard it is

to actually
love me.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…they will walk like blind men…”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

You didn’t say they were blind, Jesus –

You said they’d walk like blind men.

They’d have their eyes wide open

and still stumble
walking face-first into immovable walls.

They’d claim they were able to see

but grope along fearfully, hesitantly, without confidence.

Blind people do pretty well in familiar surroundings.

It’s the new that presents their greatest challenge

as it does me.

Open my eyes, LORD!

I trust only in You.
