Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Elisha said, ‘As surely as the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you.’”
(2 Kings 3:14)

What a teaching, Jesus!

There really are people I should respect
people to whom I should pay attention

and people I’d be wise to ignore.

Yes, You command me to love everyone

but when it comes to my time and attention
to consider the source.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…comes…from the world.”
(1 John 2:16)

The source matters, Jesus.

If it comes from You, I can trust it.
If it comes from the world, I can’t.

When I read or hear anything

I’ve got to run it through the test of Your Word.
If it flunks the test, I’ve got to reject it.

No matter how attractive
no matter how successful the person who said it

it’s poison.

If I swallow it
its acid will eat me alive.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…He gives wisdom to the wise.”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

We so easily forget, don’t we, Jesus?

All wisdom comes from You.

True…everything else comes from You, too – which we also forget.

But without wisdom, who can succeed?
Who can truly – and lastingly – enjoy life?

When I act with wisdom, please help me acknowledge its Source

and in light of how many times I’ve missed the boat

give me more.
