Pray this Lazaroo with focused resolve:

“…the women are to be…temperate and trustworthy in everything.”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

Of course, Jesus.

So are the men.

You don’t want me to be a fit-thrower, a drunkard

wild or unbalanced.

It pleases You when I exercise self-control.

You want me to be the kind of person who can be trusted

with other people’s money and secrets
to show up when I say I will

to refuse temptation
even when I don’t think I’ll get caught.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.”
(1 Timothy 3:2-3)

Those are a lot of requirements, Jesus.

No wonder some people see them
and back away from pursuing this holy office.

But these are the bare minimums!

Isn’t this the holy life to which You’ve called
absolutely every one of us?

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Teach the older men to be temperate…”
(Titus 2:2)

Why did Paul list temperance first, Jesus?

What is there about being an older man
that tempts him to be intemperate?

Is it the reality of a closer finish line?

Is Satan trying to panic him into acting rashly
for fear that he may miss out on something?

But You won’t let that happen, will You?

No good thing will You withhold
from those who stay 1on1 with You.
