Pray this Lazaroo with wisdom:

“Then King Solomon swore by the LORD…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Powerful, Jesus.

But not always wise.

Not something I want to do thoughtlessly

on the spur of the moment
just to impress the people I’m with
to make my point.

It’s a serious, solemn, awesome thing to invoke Your Name –

the Name above every name
the Name before which every knee will bow.

No wonder You made it one of your Ten Commandments

not to misuse Your Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled passion:

“…because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Is there any other way to follow You, Jesus?

Sadly, there is:

halfheartedly
indifferently
distractedly
thoughtlessly
lukewarmly
carelessly.

But none of those is worthy of You!

You deserve my wholehearted devotion.

You deserve all of me, not part of me.

You deserve my total focus
my maximum effort
my absolute best.

On the cross, You gave Your all for me.

How dare I give any less than my everything for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, ‘The LORD be with you!’”
(Ruth 2:4)

That’s a wonderful greeting, Jesus

so long as it’s sincere.

But greetings have a way of being repeated so often

that they totally lose their meaning
and I parrot them without thinking about what I’m saying.

Cure me of that, Father!

If I bless someone by saying:

“The LORD be with you!”

May I say what I mean

and mean what I say.
