Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.”
(Colossians 1:21)

If that’s what my evil behavior causes

I want no part of it, Jesus.

I can’t afford to be alienated from You!

I need You all day, every day
up close and personal.

I want no down-time from You, no vacation from Your Presence.

I don’t want us to be enemies!

I want us always, always

to be best friends.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“…you were redeemed from the empty way of life…”
(1 Peter 1:18)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

Satan sure knows how to throw a party

from a distance.

In the beginning, it feels like his way

is the most exciting
the most glamorous

until I stay for the second act

and discover how desperately empty

it really is

realizing whatever I have to do, I don’t want to stick around

for the third

and final

act.

 Plan with humility as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed…”
(2 Corinthians 2:3)

Sometimes that helps, Jesus.

Sometimes I can fix things from afar
prepare the way without being there.

When it works, it’s a real time-saver.

But there are times when I have to leave where I am

and go where they are.

Long distance has its benefits

and its limitations.

But which to use when?

Oh, how I need Your wisdom, Father!
Every day.
