Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground.”
(Ruth 2:10)

Not a bad response, Jesus

when once again
You show up in miraculous, life-changing power.

When I bow with my face to the ground

I’m acknowledging Your greatness
in contrast with my smallness.

I’m demonstrating how shocked I am

that You would love sinful, unworthy
inconsistent, falling-short me

this much!

I’m worshiping You with all my heart
declaring I’m unworthy to stand in Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
(Luke 1:41)

…which is what I long to be, Jesus!

…though it’s the last thing I deserve.

No matter how hard I try to clean up my act

I’m still a dirty vessel
so flawed, so prone to sin.

But if You waited for a perfect person

no one would ever be filled with the Spirit!

I’m not fit

but You’re the one who can fit the least likely
to Your purposes.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I, by your great mercy, will come into your house…”
(Psalms 5:7)

Certainly, that’s true of heaven, Jesus.

But that’s also true of the temporary houses of worship
You’ve set up on this earth.

May I never walk into a cathedral, tabernacle, storefront church or join any group of believers

seated in a living room
a coffee shop
on a bus bench
or gathered under a tree

without recognizing how unworthy I am to experience such a sacred privilege.
