Be on your guard, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They have become filled with every kind of wickedness…”
(Romans 1:29)

It’s hard to imagine that people like this actually exist, Jesus

until I run into one of them.

At first, I can’t believe it.
I keep thinking I’m overreacting.

But the longer it goes
the more it’s confirmed.

Once my eyes are opened, I do my best to warn others

to no avail.
They can’t believe it either.

O God!

Deliver them and me
from those evil clutches.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads…”
(Joshua 2:19)

That’s pretty much the way it is for me too, isn’t it, Jesus?

I can stay in You

in Your house
in Your Word
in Your Presence
in obedience to You

or I can decide there’s something better than You out there
and hit the streets.

If I do that
my blood will be on my own head.

Pray this Lazaroo in reasonable trust:

“These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!”
(Acts 2:15)

Peter’s absolutely right, Jesus

Most people aren’t drunk at that hour.

Even so, it’s technically possible –

which is a favorite excuse of those who refuse to believe.

When You heal someone’s disease, they attribute it to natural causes.
When You reconcile a marriage, they praise the counselor.
When evidence mounts that You created us

they suggest life on earth was seeded by aliens.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey…to show you the way you should go.”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

Wow.

This simplifies my life, Jesus!

In the past, I’ve tried to guess what lies ahead.

I’ve done research
leaned on my own experience
tapped into the expertise of others.

Results?

Mixed.

Win some…lose some.

A dart board might have been as effective.

But You go ahead of me!

All I have to do
is follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…Jesus saw them following and asked, ‘What do you want?’”
(John 1:38)

Is it possible that You’re asking that of me, Jesus?

You see me following You…
do You want me to tell You what I want?

Without question, You have the power to give me anything and everything I could imagine.

But the more I think of it
the easier it becomes to answer that question:

Because what I really want
is whatever You want to give me.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The leader of the families of the Merarite clans was Zuriel son of Abihail…”
(Numbers 3:35)

Out of three-quarters of a million words in the Bible, Jesus

this is the only time Zuriel’s name is mentioned.

Once upon a time he was a key leader.

And then his time was through.
Someone else led the Merarite clans.

While it was his turn, did he lead them well?

We don’t know.
But You do.

And that

is all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
(Luke 1:41)

…which is what I long to be, Jesus!

…though it’s the last thing I deserve.

No matter how hard I try to clean up my act

I’m still a dirty vessel
so flawed, so prone to sin.

But if You waited for a perfect person

no one would ever be filled with the Spirit!

I’m not fit

but You’re the one who can fit the least likely
to Your purposes.

Keep your focus on God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…burn it as he burned the first bull.”
(Leviticus 4:21)

Second time around is usually easier, Jesus.

Now I know what to do.
I’m less nervous because I’ve done it before.

If I paid attention the first time and evaluated my results
I might figure out how to do it better!

Of course, the second time has its trap, too.

I might think, “I’ve got this”

forgetting that I still need
the One who helped me the first time.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Jesus sent him away…”
(Mark 1:43)

Sounds ominous, Jesus…

but this was no rejection.

You had just delivered this man from leprosy!

Now healed, You were sending Him away
with an assignment.

Like him, You’ve forgiven the leprosy of my sin!
Now healed, You’ve sent me away with an assignment:

Tell everyone about You.

But being sent away isn’t as lonely and traumatic as it sounds.

You’ve promised to go with me
while You send me away.

Pray this Lazaroo with bolstered faith:

“Moses said to God, ‘Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them…’”
(Exodus 3:13)

He’s stalling, isn’t He, Jesus?

In the middle of the desert Moses hears Your voice.
It’s coming from a flaming bush that doesn’t burn up

– and that’s not enough for Him?

What – did You have to spell it out for him in writing?

Oh…wait a minute.

You’ve already done that for me, haven’t You?
I guess that leaves me with no excuse.
