Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…all generations will call me blessed.”
(Luke 1:48)

Your mother was right, Jesus.

All generations have called her blessed!

She gave birth to the One who gave life to her!

She got to see You grow up – literally, the perfect child.
She saw You work miracles, teach truth, become famous.

But Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her soul

also came true when she saw You crucified.

May I never forget that on this earth

pain accompanies blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Shout and be glad…”
(Zechariah 2:10)

It’s pretty hard to offend You, Jesus

when my praise is outrageously exuberant toward You. 😉

I know I’m supposed to behave in polite company

but sometimes I’m too polite, too quiet, too controlled
when it comes to giving You the honor You’re due.

David was over-the-top with his dancing in front of the ark.

So was Phinehas who was zealously obedient with his spear.

I could do worse
than follow their example.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…before the appointed time arrives…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus –

there is an appointed time.

I’m not some pebble haphazardly bumping down the mountainside.

I have appointments

set by You

that I cannot break.

Nor do I want to!

They’re key milestones along my path.

Get me ready me for them!

Especially for that final appointment on this earth

the one with death

that will usher me into an eternity of new, awesome appointments

forever with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The spears of pine are brandished.”
(Nahum 2:3)

Aren’t spears supposed to be made of metal, Jesus?

It would be scary to go into battle with a pine spear
against an army of people carrying iron spears.

Still…with Your help, blessing and protection

a pine spear is all I need.

Help me to trust You to provide victory

through the weapons, tools, materials
education, location, people

You’ve given me.

Not by might, not by power…

but by Your Spirit.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then the word of the LORD came…”
(Jonah 3:1)

That word, “Then” is huge, isn’t it, Jesus?

It implies that something went before it.

Did it ever!

Jonah had a near-death experience
orchestrated by You.

Now that You had his attention

You gave him his marching orders.
Again.

I can do what Jonah did and wait for the “then,” can’t I?

Or I can skip the near-death experience and pay attention –
which Jonah should have done the first time.
