Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…not to be slanderers…”
(Titus 2:3)

That’s a hard thing not to be, Jesus.

When I get down on someone
I tend to run them down to others.

Why do I do that?

I certainly don’t want anyone doing that to me!

But what goes around comes around, doesn’t it?

You’re watching…listening.

Besides, why am I getting down on anyone?

Sure, they’re struggling, falling short
just like I am.

Help me remember, LORD!

to honor and value others
above myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…not to mention…”
(Philemon 1:19)

Why do I say things like that, Jesus?

Yes, You gave those words to Paul
to gently chide those meeting in Philemon’s home.

Knowing You, it got their attention –

just as I hope it will when I use similar statements.

Sometimes the “one more thing”

is actually the whole point!

Please help me be attentive when others use such words with me, Father

so I don’t miss what You’re saying to me
through them.
