Embrace God’s priority as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
(Titus 2:4-5)

That’s my goal, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not to get my way.
Not to impress people.
Not to be successful.

My life’s goal is to honor You in such a way

that no one will malign Your holy Word!

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!”

Pray this Lazaroo with obedient diligence:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be…busy at home…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Of course, these older women can only train the younger women to be busy at home, Jesus

if they, too, are busy at home.

Training isn’t merely about talking.

It involves showing how it’s done.
There’s nothing like a good example!

Nor is this principle for women alone.

It’s for men, too!

Yes, homes are for relaxation and rest…

but they also require a lot of work.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate hope:

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

What a blessing for our younger women, Jesus!

There’s nothing like seeing someone live it in front of me
to learn how it’s done
and witness the wholesome result.

Help me be pure, Holy Spirit!

I long to be a good example for others
but most of all to live the way You’ve called me to live.

I owe You that.

But when I do
I’m the one who wins.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Yes, they can, Jesus…

provided the older women are themselves self-controlled.

It’s somewhat difficult
to teach something you don’t do.

It’s also extremely helpful for younger women
to see self-control modeled day after day.

Of course, the other side of the equation

is that the younger women must be willing to be taught.

Self-control is hard!

They’ve got to passionately desire it
and be willing to pay the price.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…the older women…can train the younger women to love their…children…”
(Titus 2:3-4)

Most young moms have deep feelings of love for their children, Jesus

but that’s not the same as loving them
the way they need to be loved.

You’re the One who reveals when they need a hug

and when they need discipline

when they need encouragement
and when they need ultimatums

when they need their mothers to hold on tight
and when their mothers must let them go.

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

“…the older women…can train the younger women to love their husbands…”
(Titus 2:3-4)

Why do we need training in how to love one another, Jesus?

Perhaps it’s because we know how we would like to be loved
so that’s how we attempt to love them.

But the way we’d like to be loved isn’t always the way we need to be loved

and we certainly don’t know how best to love others

…until – through the wise among us –

You train us.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful humility:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…”
(Titus 2:3-4)

That’s Your plan, isn’t it, Jesus?

You take us through so many things through the years

not only to teach us

but to help us acquire the knowledge to teach others.

Thank You for every older woman

who passes on the wonderful insights You’ve given –

large and small.

And thank You for every younger woman wise enough to listen

so that one day she too

can pass it on.
