Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“He shall burn all the fat on the altar…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Just as You commanded the priest to offer an animal on the altar, Jesus

so You invite me to offer myself to You as a living sacrifice
holy and pleasing in Your sight.

As I do, please enable me to burn up all the fat!

By that, I mean those things I’m doing that are unhealthy –

physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually –

whatever is cheating me out of Your best.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the people…came to him from everywhere”
(Mark 1:45)

There’s a simple reason for that, Jesus:

You created every one of them.

They’re all Yours –

those who know You and embrace it
those who reject You and deny it.

Red yellow, black, brown and white

they are precious in Your sight.
You love all the people of the world.

That’s why You died on the cross

paying for the sins of everyone who trusts in You.

Whosoever will.
Even me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the God of…Isaac…”
(Exodus 3:16)

It helps to see who You’re willing to be associated with, Jesus.

Isaac was born when his dad Abraham was 100 years old
and his mother Sarah was 90!

Abraham almost sacrificed him
because that’s what he thought You wanted.

No, Isaac wasn’t perfect.

He lied about his wife.
Played favorites with his children.

But You accomplished great things through this flawed man.

Please, LORD!

Accomplish great things through even more deeply flawed

me.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“Having been warned in a dream…”
(Matthew 2:22)

Thank You for doing that for Joseph, Father.

I’d love You to do that for me!

Maybe You already have, many times.

But did I understand them?
If so, did I heed the warning?

If not, that might tend to reduce the number of warnings You give me in the future.

Oh, Jesus! Teach me how to recognize the difference

between an ordinary dream
and one imparting a message from You.

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But the LORD God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’”
(Genesis 3:9)

Adam and Eve were attempting to hide from You, Jesus.

From You!
Seriously?

How foolish could they possibly be?
You see everything, everybody, everywhere.

But that’s what sin does.

It not only makes me want to hide from You

It makes me stupid.

I don’t want to stupidly waste my time trying to hide from the One who sees all.

Guess I’d better stop my sinning.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete awe:

“Have we not all one Father?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus.

You proclaimed it through Moses 3,400 years ago:

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

You reaffirmed it more than 1400 years later to a crowd of stunned Jews:

“I and the Father Are One.”

The Holy Spirit Who indwells every believer

is You

which explains Your enigmatic declaration in the very beginning:

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…”

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“‘I will live among you,’ declares the LORD.”
(Zechariah 2:10)

What an unexpected promise, Jesus!

When they heard it
they couldn’t have imagined how it could come to pass.

The Creator of the heavens and earth?
actually moving in and living next door?

They probably assumed it had some non-literal meaning.

But it didn’t.

You did what You said You would do!

You entered this earth as a baby!
and we had You with us for 33 amazing, miraculous years.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month…”
(Haggai 2:18)

Sometimes You deliberately keep me in the dark, Jesus –

for my own good.

But at other times – like now – You nail the very day.

The ninth month You’re referring to is Kislev.

This year 24 Kislev falls on my December 22nd.
Last year it fell on my December 2nd.

That’s because the Jewish calendar is lunar
and my western calendar is solar.

But all time

belongs solely to You.
