Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…places under the authority of the governor…”
(Nehemiah 3:7)

You tell me to respect those in authority, Jesus

and I try.

Sometimes it’s hard, when I know their lives don’t measure up to the offices they hold.

You tell me to obey them anyway.

Well…unless what they tell me to do is contrary to Your Word.

Then – making certain that I understand what You desire
knowing the price I may have to pay –

I will joyfully, wholeheartedly, follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior…”
(1 Timothy 2:3)

That’s what I long to know, Jesus!

that what I’m saying and doing
are good and pleasing to You.

You see it all –

which means You see much that breaks Your heart.

The pain that causes You…
I can only imagine.

So if I can be the opposite of that

if my thoughts, words and actions
put a smile on Your face

it would be my highest honor.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the building of the house of the LORD.”
(Ezra 3:8)

There’s more than one way to build Your house, Jesus.

Here, Ezra’s talking about the physical building of Your temple.
Pretty important.

There’s building the number of people who go each week
 to worship in Your house.
No small thing, that.

But nothing is as important as building the people themselves
into Your likeness

teaching them Your Word
enabling them to develop

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9)

What a great heads up, Jesus.

Just because something looks like a miracle
doesn’t mean it is.

If I see something so amazing that it fills me with wonder
I need to “wonder”…exactly where it leads.

When I’ve supposedly been given a sign
I’d better make double-dog sure it’s from You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Solomon began to build…”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

I’ve begun a few things myself, Jesus

though I haven’t always finished.

It’s painful to start something, full of hope and promise

only to run into an obstacle
I’m not willing to pay the price to overcome.

That kind of shame and embarrassment

tempts me to not start anything
so I’ll never fail.

But that’s not true, is it?

The one failure bigger than failing to finish
is failing to try.

Get prepared, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children…urging…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:11-12)

That’s my job too, isn’t it, Jesus?

Supplying information isn’t always enough.

When I’m responsible for what someone does

there are times when I need to light a fire under them
which of course, they don’t always appreciate.

Most people like to decide for themselves what’s important.

But when they don’t choose wisely

it’s up to me to supply
what they lack.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…in connection with…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

Those are three life-changing words, Jesus.

I’m significantly affected by whomever I’m connected with
and they absolutely affect me.

Same goes for the things I’m connected with:

the phone, computer, electronic devices I use
where I work, live, vacation
the schools I’ve attended
the places I frequent
the vehicle I drive

But the greatest question is:

How am I using what I’m connected with
to connect myself and others

to You?

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Once you were…enemies in your minds…”
(Colossians 1:21)

It’s true, Jesus.

There was a time when I was Your enemy.
I wanted my own way, not Yours.

So You allowed me to discover the hard way –

though not as hard as it could have been! –

that my way had a few holes in it.
Okay. More like Swiss cheese.

The thing that stuns and melts me

is the way You welcome me with open arms
the moment I repent.

Be overwhelmed with gratitude, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Mesha king of Moab raised sheep…”
(2 Kings 3:4)

So do You, Jesus

and I’m one of them.

I cannot thank You enough for making me one of Your flock!

You lead me, guide me, care for me.

Like a sheep, however

there have been times when I’ve strayed.

You could have written me off…

but You didn’t.

You’re my Shepherd!

You left the obedient ninety-nine
went after me and brought me back –

your dirty, cold, hungry
lost sheep.
