Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt anticipation:

“I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.”
(2 John 1:12)

Partial joy is good, Jesus.

It sure beats total sorrow!

Partial joys are little oases in the desert of life!

Thank You for every one You’ve given me.

But complete joy?

Whew! I was starting to think I’d have to wait till heaven for that one.

But if John can experience complete joy by visiting passionate believers

why can’t I?

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“…the LORD commanded the fish…”
(Jonah 2:10)

…and he did exactly what You told him to, Jesus.

If a fish can do what You command

why can’t I?

Oh, I do…most of the time.

But I have some things I need to work on, don’t I?

Some might argue that a fish is too stupid to do anything other than what he’s told.

O God! Help me attain that level of stupidity!

It’s embarrassing to be upstaged by a fish.

Pray this Lazaroo in full devotion:

“They all march in line, not swerving from their course.”
(Joel 2:7)

If locusts can do that, Jesus…

why can’t I?

Oh, I do well for a while…

then all of a sudden, I swerve
leave the lane You’ve marked out for me.

Do I make it back on course?

Sure. Here I am, talking with You right now
and grateful to be doing it.

But I would really like to mature to the point

where I never stray.
