Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“…Christ’s…body, which is the church.”
(Colossians 1:24)

Because I’ve placed my faith in You alone for my salvation, Jesus

I’m a member of Your global Church.

And because I’m a member of the Church You so love

I’m part of Your body!

A very tiny part, to be sure.
A too-often dysfunctional part.

But still – by Your grace alone –

I’m one of the ways You’ve chosen to present Yourself to the world!

Oh, what a holy, sobering, motivating responsibility!

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he began to…separate himself from the Gentiles…”
(Galatians 2:12)

Peter was on a roll, Jesus.

Through a powerful vision, You had made it crystal clear:
He was to share Your good news with non-Jews
lovingly including them in Your Church.

But all it took was for Jews who had not had that vision to show up

for Peter to revert to his pre-vision behavior.

What beautiful insights have You given me, LORD?

Am I still walking in Your Light?

Pray this Lazaroo in trembling fear:

“When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden…”
(Leviticus 4:22)

Let me reword the rest of that sentence, Jesus:

“…it’s bad news.”

Good that the leader didn’t mean to do it

bad that the leader didn’t know enough not to.

Being one of Your leaders is such an awesome privilege

and an incredibly fearful responsibility

because so much is at stake.

The only hope that leader has

is to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest wonder and appreciation:

“…among you who believed.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:10)

There’s nothing like it, Jesus –

to be among those who have put their faith in You!

They’re not perfect.

Neither am I.

But they’re unlike anyone else in the world

each of us different, one-of-a-kind
but all with one, overriding reality in common:

You.

We see life, experience life, do life in an unending multiplicity of ways

while being joined together in miraculous unity
by the One who lives in us
forever.

Walk softly, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:7)

This is one of those passages, Jesus…

on which students of Your Word disagree.

You could have spelled it out so there’d be no guessing, no controversy

but You chose not to.

Since You’ve remained purposely mysterious about it

perhaps we should hold our opinions
with humility.
