Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“He called you to this…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

When some people hear the gospel, Jesus –

that You were born to a virgin
lived a sinless life, teaching and performing miracles
were crucified and rose from the dead
to save from their sins all who believe
so they can live forever with You in heaven –

they reject it.

But I didn’t!

When I heard that amazing good news

I knew it was true
and I believed!

because You called me.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“He built the Most Holy Place…”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

What an honor, Jesus!

To be the person who constructed
the room holding the ark of the covenant –

more sacred than any other place on earth –

the unique focus of Your Presence among us.

Of course, Solomon didn’t do it himself.

As it is today…
it was the unnamed workers
who actually performed Your holy work.

You know which of us merely point

and which bend our backs to the labor.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the Jews…drove us out …”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

I love the Jews, Jesus.

Not as much as You do, because no one could.
But my love for Your chosen people is fierce and strong.

Still…there were times when You were so upset with them

that You threatened to wipe them off the face of the earth.
You didn’t…but You punished them severely.

I know You love me –

enough to do whatever it takes to turn me around

when I stray.

Saturday, February 8, 2020

 

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…allotted ten towns…”
(1 Chronicles 6:61)

Why were Kohath’s descendants allotted those ten towns, Jesus?

Because that’s how many they needed.

That perfectly explains why You’ve allotted all my possessions to me.

I sometimes ask for more
and sometimes You give it.

But when You don’t give me more

it’s because I don’t need it.

In fact, sometimes You give me more

to let me discover for myself
that sometimes what I think I want

is too much.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions…”
(Colossians 1:24)

This has to be one of the most baffling statements Paul ever made, Jesus.

You paid it all!

No matter how much I suffer for You

Your horrific sacrifice on the cross
stands as payment in full for my salvation.

No one else could do it.
Nothing else is required.

But Paul was saying there’s a whole lot of sacrificing that must be done

so others will know.

Pray this Lazaroo in, “It’s a new day!” gratitude:

“Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD through him?”
(2 Kings 3:11)

It absolutely is a new day, Jesus!

For thousands of years
people sought Your guidance through prophets.

But You didn’t want to keep us at arm’s length!

To draw us near

our sins had to be erased
by Your heartbreaking sacrifice on the cross.

Now, those who’ve placed our trust in You

can go straight to You with every question.

Be so very grateful! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…fellowship with the Spirit…”
(Philippians 2:1)

There’s nothing like it, Jesus!

You in me…in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

You and the Father are One

so I have all of You…

in me!

That boggles my mind.

It feels too good to be true
but I know it is.

I’m never alone

never out of options

never at a loss.

If I ever feel that way

it’s because I’m not remaining

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
in 1on1 relationship with You.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…as he promised…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

That’s You, Jesus…all the way.

You’ve made countless promises to those You love
and to Your enemies

and You keep every one of them.

We’re not used to that from anyone else!

Even the best of us fail to keep all our promises –

not because we’re unwilling or don’t try –

but because we’re human.

Sometimes we write checks
that our wishful thinking humanity can’t cash.

Thank God!
You have no such limitation.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…remember that at that time you were separate from Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I don’t like to remember that time, Jesus.

It’s too painful.

But clearly, You want me to remember it!

Why?

Is it so I’ll be grateful for my connection with You now?

I am. I truly am.

Especially remembering what it was like to not have

Your indwelling Presence
the intimacy of our ongoing conversation throughout the day

the sweet assurance of my salvation in heaven.

Sunday, February 2, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…would not stop chasing him.”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

What am I chasing that I shouldn’t be, Jesus?

Help me stop!

I admit it:

Some of my goals may not be Yours.

If You show me which are the wrong ones, I’ll stop –
No matter how near and dear they’ve been to me for how long.

Show me!

But I know You’ve assigned specific tasks You wish to accomplish through me.

Show me!

So I can replace the wrong ones
with the right ones.
