Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartbroken concern:

“Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
(Romans 1:32)

It’s a scary thing to know what’s right, Jesus

and then not  do it…

to know what I shouldn’t do

and keep right on doing it.

It’s an even scarier thing to encourage others to follow my bad example.

O God! Don’t let me fall into that trap!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?”
(Amos 3:5)

No, Jesus.

Birds aren’t that stupid.

But we Your people sometimes are.

Even though You’ve warned us repeatedly of the dangers of sin
we keep swooping down into Satan’s traps.

Your Word is full of advice, cautions, horrific accounts

but it’s as though we ignore all the signs:

STOP!
DANGER!
BRIDGE OUT!

because we think we know better than do You.
