Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…women are to be worthy of respect…”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

So are the men, Jesus.

We’re not merely to demand respect.
You expect us to earn it.

How?

By the way we speak
by the way we act.

by the way we live our lives wholeheartedly for You – 

staying in Your Word
praying through the day
loving and encouraging Your people

sharing Your Good News
with those who don’t know You

showing others the same mercy
we ourselves have received from You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.”
(Philippians 2:17)

Can I say that, Jesus?

Is it okay with me if I appear to fail so others can succeed?

I know I should say it.

More importantly, I know I should wholeheartedly embrace it.

Clearly, I have a long way to go

but You see into my heart:

You know I want to get there.

Pray this Lazaroo in brokenness and trust:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

Destined for them?

You know I don’t like to hear this, Jesus!

When I’m wholeheartedly following You

I wish You would reward me
by sparing me from the heartaches of life!.

So why don’t You?

Because the testing of my faith produces perseverance

which enables me to fully mature in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority.”
(2 Peter 2:9-10)

There are times and circumstances, Jesus

when none of us likes being told what to do.

And of course, there are evil people in authority

whose sinful commands must be disobeyed.

But may I always be wholeheartedly responsive

to the commands of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving dedication:

“If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.”
(1 Corinthians 3:12-13)

You know when I’m following You with my whole heart, Jesus.

But when I stay true to you through the fire –

temptations, trials, disasters, heartbreak –

everybody else can see it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
(Nahum 2:13)

Could there be any more chilling words, Jesus?

In this or any language.

First of all, I can’t make it without You.

Try though I might, I’m not enough.

But if You would also be against me?

Then I’d be doomed.
No one can successfully stand against You.

However…

You’re not against me!

I’ve completely, wholeheartedly, irrevocably
given myself to You.

I’m Yours.
Your mine.

HALLELUJAH!

You’re for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Not satisfied with that…”
(3 John 1:10)

This guy Diotrephes was a real piece of work, Jesus.

He wasn’t satisfied with causing a little bit of trouble.
He wanted to create a lot –

which is why Paul called him out on it.

But that raises an interesting question:

Am I satisfied with doing a little bit of good, now and then?

Or am I not satisfied

until I am fully, completely, wholeheartedly
fulfilling Your highest plan for my life!

Seek correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.”
(Jeremiah 2:36-37)

Egypt and Assyria are not my problem, Jesus.

But you see. You know.
Is there anything or anyone I’m trusting instead of You?

If so, show me!
I hereby reject them

and fully, wholeheartedly, irrevocably embrace You!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“But women will be saved through childbearing – if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
(1 Timothy 2:15)

That’s a pretty amazing promise, Jesus

one to which every pregnant woman can wholeheartedly cling.

But something tells me…

You’ll also save through the painful trials of this life
men and non-childbearing women

who “continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”

Increase my faith, LORD!

Help me love others with Your love.

Keep me holy

and all in a way that honors You!

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be subject to their husbands…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

In this day and age

that’s going to take a heap of training, Jesus.

Nobody wants to be subject to anybody.

Our sinful human nature demands:

“Do what you want to do
when and how you want to do it!”

But let me reply with this:

I submit myself totally, wholeheartedly, unreservedly to You, Father!

So whatever You ask me to do

my answer is an immediate, resounding

“YES!”
