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.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I pray that…all may go well with you…”
(3 John 1:2)

That’s a bodacious, outrageous, too-good-to-be-true-except-that-it’s-You prayer, Jesus!

Seriously?

That all may go well with somebody? Anybody!

Who deserves that?

Billy Graham?
Mother Teresa?
My sainted grandmother?

Huh-uh.

Certainly not Yours truly.

But I have the privilege of praying that prayer over every single person I care about –

not because of their goodness
but because of Yours

along with Your power and desire

to do infinitely more than I ask.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Grace, mercy and peace…”
(2 John 1:3)

These three gifts from the throne room of heaven, Jesus…

priceless.

But too often I forget to claim them as mine.

If only I could remember them when I most need them!

Well…maybe I can:

Your grace – spelled, G.R.A.C.E. –

God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

Your mercy – spelled, M.E.R.C.Y.

My Errors Removed Completely! Yes!

Your peace – spelled, P.E.A.C.E.

Panic Ends As Christ Enters.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“Be appalled at this, O heavens…”
(Jeremiah 2:12)

This is fascinating, Jesus.

You’re telling those who dwell with You in heaven
to react against the sin of Your people just as You do.

That pretty much puts to rest the idea that in heaven

I’ll have only positive emotions.

You promised that when You appear at the end of this age

I’ll be like You –
including every emotion You feel.

In other words – though perfected –

I’ll still be me.

Open your heart to the love of God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.”
(1 John 2:9)

Apparently…

hating my brother is not something You approve, Jesus

seeing as how You not only died for me

but also my brother.

Last time I checked

fathers don’t take too kindly
to those who hate their children.

What do I do with these negative emotions?

Please!

Teach me to love them
with the love You have for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in righteous hope:

“They will beat their…spears into pruning hooks.”
(Isaiah 2:4)

What a change of purpose, Jesus!

From an instrument intended to strike fear and bring death
to a tool that helps trees produce fruit that sustains life.

Do that with me, Father!

Take all my negative traits
sins, shortcomings
gaffes, blunders, goofs, failures

and transform them into skills, experiences and a heart of compassion

that equips and inspires men, women and children to know You

the only Giver of Life.

Pray this Lazaroo with Banzai belief:

“…we have the word of the prophets made more certain…”
(2 Peter 1:19)

How could the predictions of your prophets be made more certain, Jesus?

Well…I guess it would be when their prophecies came true.

The prophets who claimed to speak for You were to be stoned to death

if their prophesies were proved false.

That still didn’t stop some of them from prophesying lies in the short term

but it sure would have been a disincentive for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Flowers appear on the earth…”
(Songs of Songs 2:12)

Yes they do, Jesus…

every Spring.

You are faithful to bring us their stunning beauty worldwide

year after year after year.

On this USA Mother’s Day Your gift of flowers is the perfect reminder

that whether my mother was

great
awful
or somewhere in-between

You knew precisely the kind of mother I needed

to inspire me, inform me, caution me, drive me

to become the person You’ve created me to be.
