Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…all the people are melting in fear because of us.”
(Joshua 2:24)

The men Joshua sent to spy out the land needed that encouragement, Jesus!

So did Joshua and the Israelites.

You were calling them to attack a huge, fortified city.

They had never done anything like this.

To realize You had gone before them and weakened the resolve of their enemies provided a huge boost of confidence.

You were with them!

Remind me each day, LORD:

You’ve gone ahead of me!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.”
(Acts 2:23)

Just as You predicted, Peter denied you three times, Jesus.

But not on this day.

He had seen You risen from the dead!

After Your resurrection He had eaten with You
talked with You, listened to You teach.

He saw You rise into the sky as You returned to heaven.

So on this day…

Peter proclaimed Your Word without fear!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they will take possession of it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

This was a brutally hard thing for Your people to hear, Jesus.

The thing they had worked so hard to accomplish
the land they had journeyed so long to enter

was not to be theirs.

Instead, it was their children who would enjoy it.

Their sin had robbed them of Your promise.

May that not be true of me!

But may all those who come after me

indeed possess what You have promised!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Nathanael asked.”
(John 1:46)

People didn’t think much of Your hometown, did they, Jesus?

It was small – maybe 120-150 people.
Almost everyone in the village was related, from the tribe of Judah.

They were probably trying to hide their royal lineage from King Herod

since he was paranoid about his questionable right to the throne.

But Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come from there

600 years before Nazareth even existed.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“The LORD said to Moses…”
(Numbers 3:40)

I know You talked to Moses, Jesus, which is why we have –

Genesis…Exodus…Leviticus…Numbers…Deuteronomy…
Psalms 90…maybe the book of Job.

You gave Your Word to us through at least 40 different people

over approximately 4,228 years.

When I read the Bible, I’m not reading some person’s made-up ideas.

I’m reading Your Words to me.

That’s why my heart burns within me

when I read, hear and understand Your Word!

…my life forever changed.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He has…lifted up the humble.”
(Luke 1:52)

You humble those who toot their own horns, Jesus

and honor those who don’t have a horn to toot.

You also honor the owners of many horns
who toot them not for themselves, but for You.

You own all the horns. You created all the people.

So long as I acknowledge those facts and live accordingly
I have every reason to trust that in Your good way and time

You’ll lift me up.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Wow, Jesus.

That…sounds harsh.

I mean…if a person didn’t mean to do anything wrong…

…You know?

But on second thought, I guess I understand.

Wrong is wrong…whether I knew it or not.
I either did it…or didn’t do it.

Whether or not I meant to do it
it’s still done –

and I’m the one who did it.

I’ll tell you one thing:

I am so GRATEFUL for Your grace!

(Mark 2:2)

Oh, to have been there to hear You preach, Jesus!

I try to imagine what it must have been like…but I can’t.

You taught the Word like no one ever has or can

because You ARE The Word.

Many people believed You and followed You from that moment on.

But many others did not.

I can’t comprehend that level of blindness!

…until I remember how many times I’ve failed to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery…”
(Exodus 3:17)

I’m not in misery all the time, Jesus…

but when I’m in it…oh, do I want to get out of it!

The thing is, I don’t have the control I like to think I have.

When I’m really hurting, I can’t think clearly.
Sometimes what I try to stop the pain

makes it worse.

I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“In those days, John the Baptist came…”
(Matthew 3:1)

We could use another John the Baptist right about now, Jesus!

When You sent John he was fearless.
He named names and took no prisoners.

You called him to prepare the way for You
challenging people to live holy lives and turn to God.

Eventually, it cost him his life.

Are You calling me to be a John the Baptist among my family and circle of friends?

Okay.

No matter what the cost..
