Pray this Lazaroo with corrected vision:

“A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:24-25)

This is how far Solomon’s wisdom can take him, Jesus

limited to what he observes under the sun.

True, everything comes from Your hand!

But there is so much more that is better

than eating, drinking
and liking my work.

Pray this Lazaroo with all-out rejoicing!

“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom…”
(James 2:12)

Most people think Your law handcuffs people

and places them in bondage, Jesus.

But no!

Your law – the law of love You established on the cross –

grants those who place their faith in You alone

true, lasting freedom!

It’s sin that lands me behind bars

imprisons and entangles me in its evil tentacles

and takes away all my good options.

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
Peace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!

Take sincere warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”
(Hebrews 3:12-13)

The role of encouragement is huge, isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s so easy to become bogged down
by Satan’s insidious temptations and incessant lies.

Please help me encourage and be encouraged!

every single day.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.”
(Psalms 7:3-5)

David was absolutely confident of his righteousness, Jesus!

I…not so much.

All I can pray is:

Please be merciful to me, a repentant sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep gratitude:

“…my fellow workers.”
(Philemon 1:24)

What would I do without them, Jesus?

Sometimes they’re official –
employees working for the same company.

Sometimes they’re volunteers –
serving alongside me in Your church.

Sometimes they’re family members
helping me tackle a project
too big for me to handle alone.

They might even be a stranger
who helps me change a tire
when they see me on the side of the road.

But of this I’m certain:

every one of them has been sent by You.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me. Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for, that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!”
(Job 6:4, 8-9)

Some people claim You don’t do such things, Jesus.

But Job knew better.
He lived it.

Help me trust You!

even when to me

it makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be kind…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Why would older women know more than younger women, Jesus

about being kind?

Perhaps the experience of their years has taught them its benefits.

Perhaps they’ve learned the hard way what happens

when they aren’t kind

and when others are unkind to them.

But of all instructional methods

perhaps the best way to train these younger women to be kind

is to show them how it’s done. 😉

“Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.”
(Esther 3:4)

When the laws of the land conflict with Your Word, Jesus

it’s no contest.

Traditions, customs, police, judges, mayors, governors presidents all lose.

You win.

The only reason I have to pray about it

is to learn from You the wisest way to proceed.

Pray this Lazaroo with dogged determination:

“Keep reminding them of these things.”
(2 Timothy 2:14)

Nobody likes to be harassed, Jesus.

However, everybody appreciates a reminder
of something important to them

that they are about to forget.

But what about those things that are far more important

to You, to Your kingdom and to us
than we realize?

Those are the reminders I may not appreciate

but most urgently require.

Don’t let me ignore them, LORD!

Please make me sensitive to even Your softest whisper!
