Pray this Lazaroo filled with gratitude:

“He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.”
(Luke 1:53)

When we think we’ve got life figured out, Jesus

You flip the script!

There’s something about You that loves doing that, isn’t there?

I love that about You, too.

You have such a heart for those who struggle and are hurting.

You also have a heart for those You’ve richly blessed
who love to share.

But for the stingy?
Not so much.

Pray this Lazaroo in humility:

“When he is made aware of the sin he has committed…”
(Leviticus 4:28)

That’s a telling moment, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my response when I find out
I’ve unintentionally done something wrong?

Do I deny it and refuse to take responsibility?
Do I come up with every excuse I can think of?
Do I react with anger against the person who confronts me?

Or do I repent wholeheartedly
and do everything in my power to make it right?

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting faith:

“Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic…”
(Mark 2:3)

How did You feel when this happened, Jesus?

The moment You saw them coming, You knew what they wanted.
Actually, being God, You knew before You saw them coming.

Their hopes didn’t frighten You, did they?

You knew You could heal him in an instant.

I don’t have that same confidence when people come to me with big problems.

But if I turn them over to You
I should.

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into…a land flowing with milk and honey.”
(Exodus 3:17)

You kept Your promise, Jesus!

You always do.

Of course, there were a lot of tests, trials and battles

between the time Your people left and the time they arrived – 

as there almost always is.

Because of their repeated disobedience

many of them didn’t get to experience that milk and honey.

Help me learn from their mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“In those days, John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea…”
(Matthew 3:1)

Preaching?

Yes, Jesus.

But preaching in the desert?

Uh….why?

Generally, it’s a good idea to go preach where the people are

not where wild goats and cacti
might be the only ones listening.

But that was Your strategy, not John’s.

He was just obeying orders.

Turns out that preaching in the desert was so strange

that You sent vast crowds of curious people out there to him.

Humbly pray this Lazaroo:

“…she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
(Genesis 3:12)

Adam blew right past his own responsibility, didn’t he, Jesus?

He acted like he had no choice:

Since his wife handed him the fruit, he had to eat it.

How lame.

It doesn’t matter who Satan uses to tempt me, LORD –

even the most precious person in the world to me!

If you say, “No!” then that’s got to be my answer to them:

“No!”

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem…”
(Malachi 2:11)

Hearing that creates a thud in my stomach, Jesus!

Without even knowing what it is
that statement coming from Your prophet
is cause for alarm.

Especially because I’ve done detestable things.

I deeply regret them now
but I can’t take them back.

All I can do is rely 100% on Your promise:

that for Your own sake, the detestable sins I’ve committed

You remember no more.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

I don’t usually think of You inheriting anything, Jesus.

Normally, I think of You as the Inheritance-Giver.

But just as You chose Israel out of all the nations on earth

You chose one of her 12 tribes as Your inheritance:

Judah.

At the end of his life, Jacob prophesied over his son Judah

that a Ruler would come from him.

You Are the Lion of Judah.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Give careful thought: Is there yet any seed left in the barn?”
(Haggai 2:18-19)

Great question, Jesus!

Way too often, we ignore the reason for our circumstances.

We act like stuff happens randomly, on its own.

But it doesn’t!

You’re the One who monitors every bird that falls

and numbers the hairs on my head.

If things are going great for me – You’re the One making it happen!

Ditto, if I’m in hot water:

You’re the One turning up the heat.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Seek righteousness…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

I have to seek it, Jesus

because I don’t have it.

Not fully.

Oh, I have my moments when I’ve done well.

At those times, I’m pretty sure You’re pleased.

Although if I did the right thing for wrong motives –
that may lessen the pleasure You feel.

But it’s those other times when I do what I know I shouldn’t

that scare me

as well they should.

Clearly, I need to seek righteousness a little harder.
