Lazaroo – Monday, September 13, 2010
Sep 13, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with every fiber of your being:
“…he must be…not overbearing…”
(Titus 1:7)
I pray this first for myself, Jesus:
May I never be overbearing.
May I never misuse any authority You give me
to take advantage of the weak
to shut down someone who needs to be heard
to be a lid to someone’s growth
to power up on somebody who’s made an honest mistake
to stifle creativity
to smother someone who needs room to breathe
to lead out of anger
to rob someone of their God-given freedom
to get my own way
And as I plant the right seed
may that be the harvest I reap!
Please don’t allow those to whom I report
to be overbearing with me!
Cause my leaders to be
encouraging
patient
loving
thoughtful
kind
supportive
helpful
considerate
tender
respectful
And when I blow it
again
Give them Your heart
to grant me another chance.
