Pray this Lazaroo with riveted attention:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”
(Proverbs 4:23-24)

When You tell me, “Above all else,” Jesus

that’s something I dare not ignore.

You’re telling me to love what You love

and nothing else.

Only then will my mouth be free of perversity

my lips from corrupt talk.

And since I have to guard my heart

that tells me Satan is attempting to steal it.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed caution:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder…”
(Nahum 3:1)

People would expect a city full of plunder

to be in pretty good shape, Jesus!

But it’s the blood they’ve shed to get it
the lies they’ve told to keep it

that earn Your pronouncement of woe.

When You say, “Woe!”

I’d better say, “Woah!”

and quickly repent
stop harming others
stop telling lies

or I’ll discover firsthand
just how terrible Your woes can be.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4)

That’s not true only of Paul, is it, Jesus?

If I remain faithfully obedient to You
trials are bound to come.

Since I follow in Your footsteps
they are my destiny.

But that’s all right!

I count myself blessed
to suffer for You.

And this I know:

You’ve promised me eternal rewards
that will make it all worth it.

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 with pure devotion:

“Do not mortals have hard service on earth? Are not their days like those of hired laborers? Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid, so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.”
(Job 7:1-3)

Job was telling the truth, Jesus.

That’s exactly how he felt.

He didn’t know it

but that wasn’t how his story would end.

You restored and blessed him with more than before!

No matter what I’m going through now

I trust the beautiful end You have in store for me!
