Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him. Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.”
(Matthew 4:25-5:2)

No wonder large crowds followed You, Jesus!

You were healing every disease and sickness
delivering people from seizures, paralysis and demons
everywhere You went.

But those miracles helped people temporarily.

It’s Your teaching that transforms our lives eternally.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted…”
(Titus 2:9-10)

I’m Your slave, Jesus!

I desperately want to show you and others
that I’m trustworthy.

But my problem is that sometimes

I haven’t been.

I need Your help to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Please give me another chance.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them…”
(Titus 2:9-10)

From the moment I said yes to You, Jesus

I became Your slave –

which means that’s how I, too, should live.

No matter how someone lords it over me

You want me to treat them with respect
and act honorably toward them

because they’ve been created in Your Image
and I represent You!

Pray this Lazaroo with an eagerly waiting heart:

“‘The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’ ‘How can this be?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘You are Israel’s teacher,’ said Jesus, ‘and do you not understand these things?’”
(John 3:8-10)

So much of Your Word, Jesus

I cannot understand on my own.

Teach me, Holy Spirit!

I long to see through Your eyes
and hear with ears You’ve opened!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them…”
(Titus 2:9)

That had to be hard, Jesus!

Many slave masters tend to issue their orders
with disrespect, belittling, disdain.

I’ve been spoken to like that myself.

When that happens, everything in me
wants to respond in kind.

How could they – how can I –

not talk back under those circumstances?

Only You, dear LORD!
Only You!

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
(James 3:5)

It’s true, Jesus.

I can make great plans
but only You can make them come true.

I can say something unwise or unkind
and burn down a wonderful relationship.

I surrender my tongue to You!

Teach me what to say.
Teach me how to say it.

And teach me when to say nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo with enlightened understanding:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them…”
(Titus 2:9)

In today’s world, Jesus

we’d be hard-pressed to find a single public figure
who would affirm this passage of Scripture.

But that’s because we just don’t get it, do we?

Paul wanted slave masters to be blown away
by the amazing difference there was in slaves who follow you
contrasted with everyone else.

He knew that would bring glory to You

and a better life to those trapped
in the evil of slavery.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Many nations will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
(Micah 4:2)

May that day come soon, Jesus!

Sadly, in my day,
more and more nations
are turning away from You,
refusing to be taught Your ways,
straying from Your righteous paths.

Great God!

Send revival!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything…”
(Titus 2:9)

This isn’t a pro-slavery command, Jesus

it’s a pro-obedience command.

The law required slaves to obey their masters.

You were telling them to obey the law.

Yes, you told slaves to obtain their freedom when possible

but while they remained slaves
You wanted the slaves who bore Your Name
to be the best slaves possible

in order to win their masters and everyone else
to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”
(James 3:1)

There’s a simple reason for this, isn’t there, Jesus?

Those to whom You give the holy honor of teaching Your Word

owe You and those they teach

the privilege of seeing someone
who practices what they teach.

True, no teacher will ever do everything perfectly

but that had blessed well be their daily goal.
