Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-renewed determination:

“When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry…”
(Deuteronomy 1:34)

May my words never do that to You, Jesus!

Of course, to keep that from happening
I need to guard my thoughts, as well.

It might help, too, if I make sure I’m following You every step of the way

‘cause when my 1on1 relationship with You slips
so does my tongue.

As you monitor my thoughts, words and actions

may You beam with pride and joy!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘Come,’ he replied, ‘and you will see.’”
(John 1:39)

You provide me with all the evidence I need to follow You, Jesus

before I take a single step.

But when I wait too long

when I keep demanding more and more proof
before I’m willing to move

that’s not caution.

It’s unbelief.

There’s a point at which I have to take action, move out in faith.

Only then will You show me
infinitely more than I could have imagined.

Pray this Lazaroo in signed-up gratitude:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of the frames of the tabernacle…”
(Numbers 3:36)

What an honor to have been a Merarite, Jesus!

To think that Your tabernacle was standing
because of me.

You didn’t need the Merarites.
You’re all-powerful.

You could have made Your tabernacle stand
without asking them to lift a finger.

Instead, You did a glorious thing:

You invited them to be part of bringing You glory

as You are doing right now
with me.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“But why am I so favored…?”
(Luke 1:43)

There’s a simple, life-changing answer to Elizabeth’s question, Jesus:

“Because that’s who You are!”

It’s not only Elizabeth who’s favored.

I’m favored, too!
as is everyone who calls on Your Name.

If I have eyes to see it, Your favor is everywhere I look:

in the obvious blessings that just “happen” to come my way
in the blessings You secret within trials, heartaches and pain.

O God!

Why am I so favored?

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“When a leader sins unintentionally…”
(Leviticus 4:22)

And who is more likely to sin, Jesus?

The leader is on point, taking the majority of the risks.
The pressure is greater, the responsibilities magnified.

With all that going on – even with a diligent leader –
mistakes will be made.

Still, the leader has no excuse.

He or she is guilty. Period.
Correction has to be made…if possible, restitution.

Even then, they still lead – showing the way

for their unintentionally sinning followers.

Pray this Lazaroo in repentant devotion:

“Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning…”
(Mark 1:43)

You’ve given me a few of those, Jesus.

Sometimes through the events of my life.
Sometimes through one of Your people.
Most often directly through Your Word.

The thing is…

I haven’t always heeded them!

O God!
Why?

I know who You are.
I know You love me beyond measure.

I have no excuse.

All I have is a determination to turn it around

while I can.

Pray this Lazaroo in unrestrained worship:

“What is his name?”
(Exodus 3:13)

O God!

Your Name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

LORD God Almighty, God Most High
Yahweh, Jehovah, Adonai

LORD, Master, Shepherd, Helper
Healer, Our Righteousness, Deliverer

Sanctifier, The One Who Makes Holy
Everlasting God, God of Eternity

God of the Universe, Ancient of Days

Judge, Creator, Jealous, Zealous
Provider, The LORD of Hosts, Our Peace

Your Name above every name…

is Jesus.

Tuesday, February 21, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo in undisguised need:

“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning…”
(Matthew 2:18)

Nobody wants to hear that, Jesus.

Even worse, nobody want to be the one doing it.

This old world dishes out a lot of reasons to cry.

Most of the time I manage not to give into it.
I suck it up, tough it out, keep plugging away.

But sometimes the loss is too great. My emotions spill over.

In those awful, desperate times, please:

Help me!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was…desirable for gaining wisdom…”
(Genesis 3:6)

Most of us want to know more than we do, Jesus

at least about some things.

But that’s not what Satan was marketing to Eve.

He claimed that all she had to do was disobey God
to become wiser.

And she did.

Shortly after she and her husband were expelled from the garden
she learned that she’d have been wiser

to disobey Satan.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge…”
(Malachi 2:7)

I’m no priest, Jesus

but that goes for me, too.

When You teach me something I need to share it.

When people twist or pervert Your Word
I’ve got to do what I can to set the record straight.

Wait a minute…

I am a priest!

I had almost forgotten that You promote everyone to that holy office

who places their trust and hope
solely in You.
