Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
(2 Corinthians 3:5-6)

I do long to obey You right down to the letter of the law, Jesus!

But I can’t.

Thank You, thank You, Thank You

for Your new, loving, mercy-drenched covenant

of grace.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Her mother-in-law asked her, ‘Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you! Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. ‘The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,’ she said. ‘The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:19-20)

Totally orchestrated by You, Jesus –

ancestors of Mary and Joseph…

and You!

Gotta love Grandpa Boaz and Grandma Ruth!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not mere human beings?”
(1 Corinthians 3:3-4)

I can’t stop being human, Jesus.

But because of You living in me

I no longer have to be
merely human!

And I won’t be…

so long as the only One I’m truly following

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“But when they cried out to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. The Spirit of the Lord came on him, so that he became Israel’s judge…So the land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.”
(Judges 3:9-11)

It takes a leader, doesn’t it, Jesus?

One who is totally committed to You.

Raise up for us those leaders, Father!

Oh, how we need them.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
(Romans 2:12-13)

I’m saved by Your gift of faith, Jesus

not by what I do or don’t do.

But evidence that I’ve received your gift of faith

is demonstrated by what I do

and don’t do.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.”
(Joshua 3:11-12)

When You go before me, Jesus

I can’t fail!

Only when You’ve gone before me

can those You’ve chosen to go with me

be of any help!

May I never rely on the expertise of my family, friends or team.

Only You. Only You. Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.”
(Acts 2:32-33)

That’s it in a nutshell, Jesus:

exactly what’s going on before my very eyes.

I may not be an eyewitness to Your resurrection

but I am most definitely an eyewitness

to what Your Spirit is doing in my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“They will be afraid of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own. You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.”
(Deuteronomy 2:4-6)

You chose Jacob, Jesus

but You sure took care of Esau!

I’m not Your #1

but You care for me as though I am!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then [Jesus] told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.”
(John 2:8-9)

Any time You issue an order Jesus

I want to hear it
and obey it

because I know I’ll be as blessed by it

as was the master of that banquet!

Pray this Lazaroo with new awareness:

“This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things. When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.”
(Numbers 4:4-5)

What are the holy things I am to care for, Jesus?

Is it possible that I don’t recognize what is truly holy?

Teach me, LORD!

May I view what is around me

through Your eyes.
