Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
(Philippians 3:13)

That’s what I’ve asked You to do, Jesus!

I don’t want anything but what You want.

By myself…

I don’t know enough
I don’t understand enough
I don’t love enough.

But You do!

You’ve saved my life.

Therefore I trust You with my life.

Did I say, “my” life?

No.

My life is Yours!
Forever and ever and ever.

Pray this Lazaroo with attentive dedication:

“…praying in the Holy Spirit…”
(Jude 1:20)

There’s praying in myself, Jesus –

Telling You what I want
letting You know what I’m thinking.

That’s okay.
You understand.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s asking what You want

listening to Your reply in my heart
listening to Your reply as I study Your Word
listening to Your reply through life events
listening to Your reply through Your servants

all the while measuring everything I’m hearing

by the whole of Scripture.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“So at that time King Joram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.”
(2 Kings 3:6)

King Joram was right to set out, Jesus

and You gave him the victory he sought.

However, people sometimes set out for the wrong reasons.

Because they don’t have Your help
they experience defeat.

It’s exciting to set out, Father!

but not unless I’m absolutely certain it’s what You want me to do.

Apart from Your favor

there is no victory.

Submit to God’s priorities as you pray this Lazaro:

“…you stand firm in one spirit…”
(Philippians 1:27)

Judging by the way Paul says this, Jesus

that’s the goal.

An entire church full of Christians standing firm in one spirit

is supposed to be the norm.

Is it?

In some churches at some times, yes.

But in all churches at all times?

I wish!
But no.

What destroys that beautiful state?

It’s each person demanding what they want, isn’t it?

Instead of selflessly submitting to one another
to give You what You want.
