Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
(Galatians 3:13)

You loved us that much, Jesus!

You love me that much.

Me.

Totally unworthy, sin-plagued, mistake-ridden me.

Incomprehensible.

At my best, I’m barely tolerable.
At my worst, I’m unlovable.

I’m at my best so seldom.
I’m at my worst too often.

And still, You love me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“You have wearied the Lord with your words. ‘How have we wearied him?’ you ask. By saying, ‘All who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord, and he is pleased with them…’”
(Malachi 2:17)

To forgive me, Jesus

is a totally different thing
than being pleased with me.

The first happens after I’ve sinned and confessed it.

The second happens when I’ve refused to sin
and remain faithful.

I’m grateful beyond words for Your forgiveness!

But I’d rather You be pleased.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“See, I will make you small…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Yes, Jesus.

I’ve seen.
You can make me very, very small.

But that’s a good thing, right?

It is, if I accept Your discipline

humble myself

and totally surrender to You.

May I never rebel

when You do what You have to do
to correct me.

Keep me small in my own eyes, Father!

even if You bless me in the future

recognizing 100% of the time:

every good thing comes from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.”
(1 John 2:20)

At first, that sounds so encouraging, Jesus –

and it is.

I’m thoroughly, totally, absolutely equipped to succeed!

But at second look, it scares me to death.

I do know the truth…

which makes me responsible to live it.

I can’t plead ignorance.

So maybe I’d better plead for Your mercy, grace and power

to do what I know to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…it is ruined…”
(Micah 2:10)

I’ve said that about some things, Jesus.

I’ve also said it about some relationships.

But You have a way of taking what I think is totally, irreparably ruined

and either completely restoring it
or replacing it with something far better!

I absolutely love that about You!

No matter what happens

with You, there’s always a New Day.
There’s always hope!

Nothing is beyond Your repair!

Nothing is beyond Your improvement!

Not even me.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If you have any…compassion…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Some people don’t, Jesus –

at least not that I can tell.

Of course, maybe they have it, but I’m not seeing it.

I might be expecting them to show it in one way
while they’re showing it in another.

Maybe I have such a focused agenda, such strong opinions

that I’m totally blind
to the different expressions of compassion in others

…as they may be to mine.

But You see.

That’s all that matters.
