Pray this Lazaroo with laser focus:

“…watch the road…”
(Nahum 2:1)

It’s easy to get distracted on my journey, Jesus

I’m tempted to look for ways to entertain myself
when it appears not much is happening

paying too much attention
to things that don’t matter.

But only one thing is essential:

to discover why You’ve put me on this highway
and to arrive at my destination
on time.

To do that…

I’ve got to watch the road.

Thank You for the reminder, Father.

I will.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…my people’s possession is divided up.”
(Micah 2:4)

This can be one of life’s saddest moments, Jesus

when someone dies
and the treasures they have accumulated over the years

are divided up by heirs
or auctioned off to strangers.

But although people may rummage through my earthly possessions

I will leave nothing of true value behind.

My eternal treasure is laid up with You

where moths and vermin do not destroy
and thieves do not break in and steal.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“When my life was ebbing away…”
(Jonah 2:7)

How will I feel when that happens, Jesus?

I’m not talking about close calls
overactive imagination
near-death experiences.

I’m asking about the final moments

before my actual death.

I absolutely do not want to know what the unbeliever experiences

not even vicariously.

By faith, I’m trusting Your promise:

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.”

May those moments be precious for me, as well.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“…the house of Joseph a flame…”
(Obadiah 1:18)

What an amazing prediction, Jesus!

Those who heard Obadiah’s prophecy in his day would have assumed he was referring only to the patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob.

But none could have guessed there would be another Joseph you would raise up 858 years later

to become the husband of a pregnant virgin named Mary
to provide a home and loving care for the Flame-Bearer of the ages

You!
Son of God.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

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

There are a lot of words I don’t want to hear, Jesus

“I hate you”
“You’ve lost”
“You’re fired”
“It’s terminal”

but any word You would ever speak against me

is at the very top of that list.

I’d rather hear every curse ever uttered

than hear one word of condemnation from You.

What are the words I long to hear when I stand before You?

“Well done.”

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly, cleansing fear:

“With a noise like that of chariots…”
(Joel 2:5)

Much like someone unfortunate enough to be attacked by today’s

Abrams tank
Apache helicopter
A-10 Warthog

anyone hearing that sound would have been paralyzed with fear, Jesus

especially knowing it was You who sent them
because of their stubborn, willful sin.

You’ve punished Your people like that before, Father.

No doubt You’ll have to do it again.

But that’s not how I want to experience You!

I prefer to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
(Hosea 2:23)

Is there any greater joy, Jesus?

than to share You with a friend, neighbor,
family member, coworker, stranger

and discover You’ve used me to draw them to Yourself?

to have them unashamedly declare in grateful worship:

“You are my God!”?

No matter how pleasurable, meaningful or important

nothing holds greater weight
none has deeper significance

because eternal life in heaven
eternal suffering in hell

were hanging in the balance.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“You have forsaken your first love.”
(Revelation 2:4)

You’re not referring to a boyfriend/girlfriend, are You, Jesus?

This isn’t about a husband or wife
not about a hobby, sport, possession or profession.

This is about You.

It goes all the way back to the moment I realized You loved me –

forever proved by Your death for me on the cross
when I responded with passionate, white-hot love for You.

If my love has cooled –

unimaginably…inexcusably…

ignite it again!
