Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty. But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow, but that stop flowing in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.”
(Job 6:14-17)

Job’s friends started out so well, Jesus

but before long, couldn’t resist the urge
to kick him while he was down.

May my healthy fear of you

keep me from being one of Job’s “comforters.”

Embrace God’s priority as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
(Titus 2:4-5)

That’s my goal, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not to get my way.
Not to impress people.
Not to be successful.

My life’s goal is to honor You in such a way

that no one will malign Your holy Word!

Get prepared, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children…urging…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:11-12)

That’s my job too, isn’t it, Jesus?

Supplying information isn’t always enough.

When I’m responsible for what someone does

there are times when I need to light a fire under them
which of course, they don’t always appreciate.

Most people like to decide for themselves what’s important.

But when they don’t choose wisely

it’s up to me to supply
what they lack.
