Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“He summons his picked troops, yet they stumble on their way.”
(Nahum 2:5)

What an honor to be chosen by You, Jesus –

to be given a holy task, a meaningful goal
a vital assignment!

But just because You’ve sent me

doesn’t mean I’ll complete my mission.

I have to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 with You

or I’ll stumble along the way.

Sadly, that’s already happened – many times.

But hallelujah!

You keep picking me up
and sending me again.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…God…raised him from the dead…”
(1 Peter 1:21)

That’s what You did for Jesus, Father

and because of my faith in Him
that’s what You’ll do for me.

Yes, He deserved it

I don’t.

Your Son is perfect.

I’m still stumbling, falling
getting back up
trying to figure it out.

So when I stand before You one day and hear You say:

“Well done!”

There’s only word for that moment:

Grace.

By the power of Your Name, Jesus!

Amen.

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD.”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

That’s the price I have to pay when I sin, isn’t it, Jesus?

groping about in darkness
unable to discern what’s going on
mistaken again and again
fooled times beyond counting
stumbling, falling, hurting
lost and can’t find my way home

Satan’s running a pretty effective TV commercial, Father

but blindness is only one of the side effects
of the lethal drug he’s selling.
