Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“O God of my fathers: You have given me…power…”
(Daniel 2:23)

I know that’s true, Jesus.

But I also know I’m not tapping into its full force.

You promised I’d be able to do even greater things

than You did on earth.

I believe You!

But I have yet to see it.

Why?

It has to be for the same reason Your disciples fell short:

my lack of faith.

O God – You know I believe!

Please help my unbelief.

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s a lot of holy ones, Jesus!

What a Day that’ll be.
Wrongs finally made right.

Angels? Yes, Sure.

But not only angels.

Those of us who’ve followed You, died and gone to heaven

will be coming with You and the angels, too.

But people like me? Holy?

Maybe not now, here on earth.
But in heaven, they’ll be like You.

And so will I.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.”
(Ezekiel 3:8)

Some people wouldn’t call that Christian, Jesus.

They believe Your followers should always be
tender, loving and kind.

Most of the time they’re right.

But no one is as Christian as You Are!

You know I’m in a battle against the forces of evil.

When necessary…

You equip me to fight fire with fire.

And I am SO grateful

that Your fire is hotter than theirs.

Saturday, October 28, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
(3 John 1:4)

Why did John feel that way, Jesus?

It was because he had given his whole life for this, wasn’t it?

Every teacher hopes their words are more than heard.

They long for the truths they teach
to change the lives of their hearers.

May John, now in heaven, continue to experience great joy

as he looks down and watches me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us in truth…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s the only place You will ever be with us, isn’t it, Jesus?

In truth.

You Are the Truth –

the Truth who sets me free.

Of course, the truth isn’t the only place You go.

You leave all the good people
in search of the one who is lost.

Well, not exactly.

You’re God.
You can do things we can’t.

You have a way of staying while You go.

Wednesday, October 25, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Lions have roared…”
(Jeremiah 2:15)

That’s a terrifying thing, Jesus.

I can imagine how an innocent gazelle
quenching her thirst from a peaceful brook must feel
when that sound comes from the brush behind.

The reason I can imagine it

is that I’ve been stalked by lions of a different sort –
people intent on bringing me down.

But just when fear is about to immobilize me

I remember You, the Lion of Judah

whose ultimate roar
drowns theirs out.

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…your sins have been forgiven…”
(1 John 2:12)

Are there any sweeter words than that, Jesus?

Not for an habitual, repentant, undeserving sinner like me.

“I love you” are three wonderful words, that’s for sure

but to be loved by one person or a thousand
doesn’t gain me entrance into heaven.

Only what You did for me by giving Your life on the cross

can do that.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Monday, October 23, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn assessment:

“Their land is full of silver and gold…”
(Isaiah 2:7)

But since when has that been enough, Jesus?

We work long hours for money and the things it will buy

then come to the end of the day

exhausted, empty, dissatisfied.

So we work even harder, longer

thinking the solution will be found in more

but it isn’t.

Sadly, only then do we stop, look around

and turn to You

the only one who can satisfy
my longing soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
(2 Peter 1:21)

Your prophets knew what that was like, Jesus

I’d like to know what that’s like, too.

I don’t want to be carried along by Satan

by the crowd

by my best friend

by my own thoughts.

Those carriers can’t get me very far –

not in the right direction, at least!

You’re the only one who can carry me safely

perfectly

in the right way

all the way home.
