Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Do nothing out of…vain conceit…”
(Philippians 2:3)

It would be helpful if you would show me how I end up with such an attitude, Jesus.

Everything I am, everything I have is from You.
How could I ever arrive at the conclusion that it originates with me?

Is it the praise of others – directed to me rather than You?

If so, when that happens, I need to be extremely diligent

about deflecting the praise to You
to set the record straight.
