Pray this Lazaroo with Golden Rule Godliness:

“How painful are honest words!”
(Job 6:25)

That’s so true, Jesus.

Honest words can be incredibly painful –

Especially when I’m telling someone
something they don’t want to hear
but need to hear.

Help me be honest with everyone!

But also…

help me be kind.

There’s a way to tell a hard truth
using soft, encouraging, uplifting, hope-filled words

and to do so with a humble spirit
in mutual respect

telling others the truth
the way I want it told to me.

Pray this Lazaroo without excuse:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…”
(Leviticus 4:27)

That can certainly happen, Jesus

especially with some of the more obscure points of Jewish law.

But most of Your commands? Things like –

telling the truth
not killing people
faithfully attending church
not committing adultery
sharing my faith
not stealing
pleasing You
not craving other people’s possessions
helping the poor –

those nobody has to tell me to obey.

If I break them, it’s no accident.

I did it on purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“I AM has sent me to you.”
(Exodus 3:14)

I’m leery, Jesus…

when somebody walks up and says:
“God told me to tell you…”

A percentage of those people are unstable.

Others who talk like that are self-deluded.
Still others are manipulative charlatans.

But the thing is, there’s always the possibility

that one of them could be telling the truth.

Whatever anyone says has to be backed up by Your Word

and confirmed within me
by You, Holy Spirit.
