Pray this Lazaroo in humble, grateful trust:

“I am not writing you a new command…”
(2 John 1:5)

That’s a good thing, Jesus –

because I’m not yet following the old ones.

Well…

I am most of them
but not all.

Sometimes that depresses me.

I know that by now, I should be farther along.

After all, the standard isn’t anything less than full and complete obedience.

But to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love me anyway
means more than words can say.

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who provides everything you need:

“…why go to Assyria to drink water from the River?”
(Jeremiah 2:18)

Great question, Jesus.

By turning to other gods, Your people broke Your heart.
How dare they turn to lifeless idols?

My guess is You’re asking the same question of me every time I sin

buying one of Satan’s lies.
How dare I drink from his foul, poisonous cesspool?

You are my Living Water.

So long as I drink deeply, daily from Your Spring
I will never thirst.

Wise up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Many will follow their shameful ways…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

When “everybody’s doing it,” Jesus

it’s tempting to do it with them.
It feels safer.

But not when the crowd is opposed to You!

‘cause that whole crowd is marching right over the cliff.

Is it tough to stand alone?

Sometimes, yes.

But I’m not alone, am I?

I have You –

not to mention untold millions of my brother and sister Christians.

Because Satan’s a liar.
Everybody’s not “doing it.”

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled awareness:

“Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith…?”
(James 2:5)

Wow. Why would that be, Jesus?

Atheists might suggest that the poor are undereducated.

But any education that points away from You

originates in the fiery pits of hell.

Perhaps their lack of money is a clue, however.

Those not blinded by the false hope of riches
are among the first to recognize:

You are our only Hope.

Pray this Lazaroo… in awe:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…the high priest…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I don’t often think of You as my High Priest, Jesus.

But You Are!

The Great High Priest of us all.

Similar to Melchizedek, You were ordained a high priest

apart from the Law given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Other high priests offered sacrifice each year for themselves

as well as for the people.

Not so, You.

You were the perfect, sinless sacrifice
who offered Yourself once…

for all.

I know what they will do.

“…those who long for death that does not come…”
(Job 3:21)

It’s pretty easy for human beings to kill themselves, Jesus

if that’s what they really want to do.

But our lives are not our own, are they?

You’re the Life-Giver…
and the Life-Taker.

Only You know when it’s best for me to check in…

and check out.

I’m here for a season to do Your will.

Only when my work is done

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.
