Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing…”
(Philippians 2:5-7)

Before all time You were Everything, Jesus

but out of Your fierce, deep, incomprehensible love for me

You made Yourself nothing

so I could become everything

You’ve created me to be!

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest. Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, ‘Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.’”
(1 Kings 2:35-36)

Solomon was just following his daddy’s orders, Jesus.

King David knew what was necessary
to firmly establish his son’s throne.

I’m ready and willing to follow Your orders, Father!

Command me.
I’ll obey.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations…”
(Ephesians 3:4-5)

Oh, they knew the Messiah was coming, Jesus –

from the very moment You confronted the serpent
in the Garden of Eden.

Through more than 500 verses of Scripture in the Old Testament

You continued to provide clues
all the way up to Your arrival in Bethlehem.

But not until Your stunning death, burial and resurrection

did the miraculous mystery of who You really are

finally sink in!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul.”
(2 Samuel 3:1,6)

Thank You for this reminder, Jesus!

Even while I’m enjoying Your favor
the enemy of my soul is plotting his next attack.

Keep me ever vigilant!

Pray this Lazaroo with overwhelming gratitude:

“Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.”
(Galatians 3:1)

They hadn’t seen you crucified, Jesus

anymore than I have.

But a faithful preacher of Your Word made it so clear to them

that it was as if they had been there on that fateful day
looking up at You on the cross

as have I.

So, no more excuses. Nothing else is needed.

You died for me!

That’s all the motivation I need

to live for You

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. So he said to them, ‘Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.’”
(1 Samuel 2:22-23)

Eli rebuked his sons, Jesus

but it stopped there.

He failed to restrain them

which cost Eli and his sons their lives.

Pray this Lazaroo with hot anticipation:

“Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?”
(2 Corinthians 3:7-8)

So no more looking back with envy, Jesus!

Yes, You did marvelous things long ago!

Hallelujah!

But by faith I declare to the skies:

Your best is yet to come!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. ‘He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.’”
(Ruth 2:20)

No, You haven’t, Jesus –

nor will You ever!

Because the so-called righteous “dead”
are alive in heaven with You!

What a thrill it will be for me one day in heaven

when I am by Your side
looking down in grateful amazement
on the unending stream of blessings
You are showering on those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
(1 Corinthians 3:5-7)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for the teachers You’ve given me.

But I’m relying on You alone

to make me grow!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel. Getting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.
(Judges 3:12-13)

Jericho – the City of Palms, Jesus!

Barely 30 years after You sent those walls tumbling down
giving Joshua a great victory

Israel’s sin took it away from them!

Please, LORD –

Help me learn my lessons

and never forget.
