Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition…”
(Philippians 2:3)

That’s a tall order, Jesus!

Oh, not because I don’t agree.
But because selfish ambition is so hard to recognize.

Oh, not all that hard to recognize in others.
But devilishly hard to recognize in myself.

I used the right word, didn’t I?

Selfish ambition comes straight from the pits of hell.

O God!

Forgive me for every self-centered thought and act!

Purify my ambition!
May I desire Your will

and Your will alone.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…in a manner worthy of God.”
(3 John 1:6)

That’s how I’m to live every aspect of my life, isn’t it Jesus?

In a manner worthy of You.

That’s a tall order
but one You deeply deserve.

I’m not there, yet –

but I want to be…
long to be…
ache to be…

I absolutely have to be.

Don’t give up on me, Father!
Don’t give up on me, Jesus!
Don’t give up on me, Holy Spirit!

Here I come.
