Allow yourself to marvel, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.”
(Philippians 1:27)

There’s nothing like it, Jesus –

a group of markedly different people

different ages, different sexes
different backgrounds, different personalities
different preferences, different schedules
different living circumstances

some single, some married, some divorced
some new believers, some long-time saints
some with means, some in dire financial straits
some battling illness, some healthy as a horse

all coming together in beautiful harmony with only one thing in common:

You.

Pray this Lazaroo in wonder-filled anticipation:

“…she sat down at his right hand.”
(1 Kings 2:19)

And so Solomon showed his love for his mother, Jesus.

The right hand.
Next to the king, the place of highest honor.

Knowing this, the mother of two of your disciples asked for that privilege

and earned a swift rebuke.

But by Your grace, one day in heaven I’ll see You seated at the right hand of Your Father on his throne.

And if overcome
I’ll join you there.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“For it is by grace you have been saved…”
(Ephesians 2:8)

I believe that with all my heart, Jesus!

The easy part to believe in is Your grace.

Over and over again
You treat me better than I deserve.

G.R.A.C.E. –
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

The hard part for me to get my head around is that I’m really and truly saved!

I know what I am.
I know what my sins deserve.

I’m rescued only…only…only…

by Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Joab…and David’s men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon.”
(2 Samuel 2:13)

This was a showdown, Jesus.

Mana a mano.
Shootout at the OK Corral.

Hundreds of brave, valiant soldiers were about to die.

Was there a better way to settle this?

Absolutely.

All they had to do was obey You.

But half of them wouldn’t
so the other half had no choice.

Give me the courage to fight

but always on Your side.

Pray this Lazaroo in unending gratitude:

“…when they recognized the grace given to me.”
(Galatians 2:9)

Recognition shouldn’t mean as much to me as it does, Jesus.

But if I have to be recognized for something
may it be for the grace You’ve so graciously given me.

That way, people won’t mistakenly conclude that I’m the one who’s special.

They’ll realize that whatever good qualities I possess
whatever I do that makes a genuine difference
whatever I say that’s truly helpful

come from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD…humbles and he exalts.”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

Some people think you only exalt, Jesus.

The experience of others leads them to believe
all You do is humble

at least when it comes to them.

But there’s a lot more to You than any of us can grasp.

Just when we think we’ve got You figured out
we learn we don’t

sometimes the hard way
sometimes not.

I prefer to be exalted, LORD!

but that usually comes
after I’m humbled.

Pray this Lazaroo in focused determination:

“I wrote you…to let you know the depth of my love for you.”
(2 Corinthians 2:4)

Sometimes I have to come out and say it, don’t I, Jesus?

Actions are far more important than what my lips utter
but words matter.

They can be cheap
but they can also come from the heart.

When what I say is backed up by what I do

not once or twice

but day in and day out, year after year

that’s when words count.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

 “She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’”
(Ruth 2:7)

Sometimes that’s the way it goes, Jesus.

You put me in a place that requires
being needy, humbled, bringing up the rear.

I can fight it, if I wish

or I can trust You.

You know what’s best for me.

I don’t.

Besides, leading the pack isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

They’re the first to get shot at.

Back here is fine.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I came to you in…fear…”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

What, Jesus?

The great Apostle Paul approached one of his assignments

in fear?

Why?

You had worked miracle after miracle through him

like raising the dead.

I would have thought he’d be fearless!

Besides, there’s a Biblical command:
You tell us not to fear.

But obedience is one thing

emotion is another.

Like Paul, please help me obey You to the end

to the letter

no matter how much I fear.
