Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…make my joy complete by being like-minded…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Many of us put a high premium on being different, Jesus!

And so we are.

No two of us are exactly alike.

You’ve made each of us unique.

Then why is it so important for the people in Your Church to be like-minded?

Well…there are some things that we all have to agree on, aren’t there?

Love for You.
Love for one another.
Compassion for the lost.
Obedience to Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“But as for you…”
(Deuteronomy 1:40)

What a reminder, Jesus.

There’s everybody else
and then there’s me.

Sometimes You tell us all to do the same thing.

But without exception
each of our roads is different in some respect.

Help me be a team player when You want me to jump in with the rest.

But may I always be ready to do what nobody else is doing
when You send me out on my own
with a unique, holy assignment.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He rebuilt it, roofing it over…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Nobody else added a roof to the gate he was repairing, Jesus.

Only Shallun.

From this we can infer that it wasn’t something that had to be done.

Shallun thought it would be a good idea.

So he took the extra time
did the extra work
incurred the extra expense

to make the Fountain Gate unique, beautiful, desirable.

What an inspiration, Father!

May I always and forever do more than expected…for You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…sufficient for him.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

Everything You do for me is sufficient, Jesus!

…not to mention unique.

What’s sufficient for me may not be for someone else.

Thank You for not giving me the one-size-fits-all treatment!

The way You reward me is different from what You do for everyone else.

So is the way You correct me.

But please help me remember that for others, it may be too much…too little…

…or need to be something else entirely.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…keep to the paths of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 2:20)

The righteous have paths, Jesus!

Plural, not singular.

True, You’re the only way to heaven.

No one can come to the Father
except through You.

So for each of us it’s the same:

Follow You wherever You lead.
Stay true to Your Word.

But because You’ve made each of us unique

when we follow You
we discover new paths

when we wholeheartedly embrace Your Word
unexplored worlds open before us.

 Pray this Lazaroo in trusting contentment: 

“…they saw that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as Peter had been to the Jews.”
(Galatians 2:7)

What a fulfilling moment, Jesus…

to finally recognize why You’ve put me on this earth

and at the same time

to be able to celebrate the fact that someone else
has a different mission.

So many mistakenly attempt to clone the mission of someone they view as successful

and risk missing out on the calling You’ve given to them.
