Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We who are Jews by birth…”
(Galatians 2:15)

Paul had that honored standing, Jesus.

But those who don’t have hope!

You’ve offered all who are not Jews by birth

the opportunity to become Jews

by rebirth.

In fact, every Jew by birth who desires to make heaven his home

has to become one by rebirth!

That’s hard for a natural-born Jew to accept, Jesus –

until she gratefully acknowledges You as her promised Messiah
in prophetic fulfillment of her Jewish heritage.

Pray this Lazaroo in clear-headed obedience:

“…it was the practice of the priests…”
(1 Samuel 2:13)

Just because it’s a priest who does it

doesn’t make it right, Jesus.

The same goes for pastors, mothers, fathers, popes and presidents.

Honored position doesn’t insure righteous behavior.

In this case, the priests under Eli were engaging in detestable behavior.

Open my eyes, LORD!
Please don’t let me be blinded by position!

Show me how to wisely deal with such leaders

and never follow in their evil footsteps.

Be on your guard, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…we are not unaware of [Satan’s] schemes.”
(2 Corinthians 2:11)

Paul wasn’t, Jesus

but too often, I am.

I forget that my struggle is not against flesh and blood

but against the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world
and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Holy Spirit! Remind me to put on the full armor of God

so that when the day of evil comes
I’ll be able to stand my ground
and after I’ve done everything

to stand.

Pray this Lazaroo with respect and honor:

“…you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before.”
(Ruth 2:11)

That’s the kind of thing people do in honor of You, Jesus!

Ruth did all of that to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi

out of respect for the woman she loved
and in honor of the God Naomi worshiped:

You.

You’re worth every big time price I pay

every courageous action I take in obedience to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent, longing love:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

‘cause I sure can’t figure a whole lot of stuff out.

I can’t even figure myself out –
let alone other people and situations.

But it’s “the deep things of God” that I most long to understand!

I suspect that if I knew those

I’d be able to better understand what’s going on
everywhere else in the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.”
(Judges 2:18)

What would we do without Your compassion, Jesus?

There’s so much evil in the world!

If I didn’t know You see and care and understand

I don’t know what I would do.
But it wouldn’t be good.

That may explain why some people do the things they do.

They don’t know You’re watching, caring, loving
and will intervene in Your perfect way and time.

Cry out to God! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they are…ruthless.”
(Romans 1:31)

How can anyone stand against the ruthless, Jesus?

If they’re more powerful, they can and will
smash us into the ground.

They don’t seem to have the ability to empathize

to feel another person’s pain.

They’re possessed by a desire to pillage, harm and destroy.

“Possessed” is the right word, isn’t it?
Their ruthlessness comes straight from the pits of hell.

End their reign, LORD God Almighty!

Rescue Your humble, hurting people from their clutches.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out…”
(Joshua 3:1)

That’s a good time to set out, isn’t it, Jesus?

An early start can lead to an earlier finish!

Of course, due to health issues, family dynamics or work schedule

not everyone can.

You know that and make it up to them.

However, there are those who can and should rise early

but are too lazy to do so.

May I never be counted in their number.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But God raised him from the dead…”
(Acts 2:24)

They killed You, Jesus!

Yeah, but God raised You from the dead.

Now, what, enemies? What else you got?

Nuthin’. You’ve got nuthin’.

If they can’t keep You in the grave, they can’t stop You.

And I’m Your kid.

The worst they can do to me is kill me.

But if they do, I immediately go to my huge reward
for standing boldly with You at the risk of my life.
