Pray this Lazaroo with flaming faith:

“The house of Jacob will be a fire…”
(Obadiah 1:18)

There’s a difference, Jesus…

from being on fire
to being a fire.

If I’m on fire, someone else has ignited me.

But when I’m a fire
I’m the one doing the lighting.

I’m so grateful for the times You’ve lit me up, LORD!

But would You be willing to do for me what You did for Jacob –

and work miraculously through me
to light Your life-changing fire in others?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken…”
(Amos 3:1)

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken, Jesus!

Well…that’s not exactly what I mean.

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken…

…to me.

A lot of them are found in Your Word, Father.

Perhaps most of them.
But not all of them.

Some of them are spoken to me by You, Holy Spirit

deep within my soul.

May I take every word You speak to me

to heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“…they gallop along like cavalry.”
(Joel 2:4)

Locusts who gallop like horses, Jesus?

You are Somethin’ Else.

When You make a promise, You keep it.

But there’s no way on this green, brown and blue earth
that I could I ever predict how You’ll pull it off.

Just when I think I’ve got You figured out

You do it in a way that leaves my head spinning.

I guess I do have You figured out:

You’re impossible to figure out. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’”
(Hosea 2:23)

I know how it feels to be judged, Jesus.

I don’t like it –
and not just when they judge me harshly

Sometimes people think more highly of me than they ought to.

Makes me feel uncomfortable.
When I try to correct them, they think I’m being modest

which makes them think even more highly of me.

Sigh.

Some days I just can’t win! 😉

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Yet I hold this against you…”
(Revelation 2:4)

Woah, Jesus…

not the words I want to hear from You.

I love Your countless words of encouragement, blessing and hope

Your promises – so many, so amazing, so true.

But when You have to call me in, sit me down and rebuke me?

Not so much.

It terrifies me.

It also saddens me – because You deserve so much better.

Still…I know there’s only reason You do that:

You love me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…He gives wisdom to the wise.”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

We so easily forget, don’t we, Jesus?

All wisdom comes from You.

True…everything else comes from You, too – which we also forget.

But without wisdom, who can succeed?
Who can truly – and lastingly – enjoy life?

When I act with wisdom, please help me acknowledge its Source

and in light of how many times I’ve missed the boat

give me more.

Pray this Lazaroo with passion:

“They are…autumn trees…uprooted…”
(Jude 1:13)

It’s hard to see a big tree lying on its side, Jesus.

It takes so many years to grow.
With every year it produces more fruit, more shade.

Still…when a tree is chopped down, there’s hope.

Sometimes a shoot will poke its head up through the stump
and be given another chance.

Not so the tree that’s uprooted.

No root?
No chance.

Chop me down if you must, LORD

but never, never, ever
uproot me.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel…”
(Ezekiel 3:5)

The house of Israel, Jesus…

Your chosen people.

No nation has ever been favored by You like the children of Abraham

no nation so favored
has ever been so fiercely punished.

Of those to whom much is given

much more will be demanded.

You’ve been unimaginably good to me, Jesus!

But the greater Your blessings

the more You expect.
