Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed recognition:

“Are [the rich]…not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?”
(James 2:6-7)

You hate it when I fawn on the rich, Jesus –

when I favor them over the poor.

It’s so easy to be so awed by a profane person’s apparent success

that I forget theirs is not an example worth following.

Of course, there are good rich people, too.

But may I honor them for their goodness

not for their wealth.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.”
(Job 3:15)

That’s what a lot of people wish in the beginning, Jesus.

I too have wondered what it would be like

to live like those pictured on television
in movies, magazines, on the Internet

who have seemingly unlimited resources
to do whatever they desire.

But I have something better:

You.

Your resources are truly unlimited

and You’ve promised to provide me
with everything I need.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“So they went and saw where he was staying…”
(John 1:39)

That’s what I’d like to see, Jesus –

where You’re staying –

’cause that’s where I want to be.

It wasn’t in a castle.

You weren’t surrounded by wealth and privilege
at least not that the naked eye could see.

You went where You were needed

and still do.

Yes, You’re omnipresent – everywhere at once.

But I beg You!

Show me where You want to release Your power
through me.

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“The LORD sends poverty and wealth…”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

A lot of people don’t want to hear that, Jesus

…at least, not the first part.

They like the idea of You as the Giver of wealth, prosperity, plenty

they don’t much care for any reference to You
as the Giver of poverty, hardship, want.

So why do both come from You?

Probably because – in Your wisdom –
everything comes from You

the things we like
and the things we don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence…”
(1 Corinthians 2:1)

But eloquence is what so many people long to possess, Jesus!

They suppose it will open doors for them

and it will.

They suppose it will bring them wealth

and it certainly can.

They suppose that it will make people flock to them

and it has that ability.

But eloquence without the power of God

is the crackling of kindling
vanishing in the flames.
