Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“…Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?’ Jesus replied, ‘Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then John consented.”
(Matthew 3:13-15)

This is absolutely beautiful, Jesus.

For You to lower Yourself, doing what You didn’t have to do
to set a righteous example for me?

That makes me want to choose You
all over again.

Pray this Lazaroo in thudding realization:

“’I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.’ To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:15-16)

First You punished the serpent, Jesus

then You punished the woman.

The man’s next, isn’t He?

For deliberate sin

there’s a price.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Has not the one God made you?”
(Malachi 2:15)

What a mouthful, Jesus!

One God.
You.

My Creator.
You.

Those seven words fill my heart, too!

You planned me, designed me, created me

before You spoke the worlds into existence.

You chose the time when I’d make my appearance on planet earth.

Out of its 197 million square miles

You chose the exact place where I’d be born

to which parents

among which people

speaking which language –

to Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, ‘Take off his filthy clothes.’ Then he said to Joshua, ‘See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.’”
(Zechariah 3:4-5)

Is that how I look to you when I sin, Jesus?

As though I’m dressed in filthy clothes?

Wow.
I didn’t know.

I repent, LORD!

Clothe me in Your righteousness!

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled confidence:

“I will overthrow chariots…”
(Haggai 2:22)

This was no small thing, Jesus.

Armies on foot would melt in fear
when confronted by an army with chariots.

It took an enormous amount of faith in You

for a soldier on foot to stand his ground
when a horse-drawn chariot was bearing down on him.

What are the chariots I’m facing this year, LORD?

Please increase my faith to reflect Who You Really Are

so that come what may
I’ll stand my ground!

Pray this Lazaroo, overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left.’”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

It’s one thing to be defeated in battle, Jesus

to be shamed and disgraced
taken captive, reduced to slavery.

But this time it was worse.

The Philistines so infuriated You with their blatant idolatry
that You threatened to annihilate them

leaving no survivors.

That’s what my sins deserve.

But instead of wrath –

through the cross –

You’ve offered me mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord…”
(Habakkuk 2:14)

Oh, what a day that will be, Jesus!

I can’t wait.

Literally, I can’t wait –

meaning, I dare not wait.

You’ve given me the task of sharing Your good news

with everyone around me.

I’m not responsible for what they do with it

but You hold me accountable
to do everything in my power
to make sure they hear about You
in as clear and compelling a way as possible.

Pray this Lazaroo in 2022 determination:

“Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young…”
(Nahum 2:11)

The place where we feed our young

is sacred, Jesus.

But there’s more than one way to feed our little ones.

Physical food is important
but not nearly as important as spiritual food.

The place where the next generation learns about You

can either make them
or ruin them.

It’s my job to be certain

that what they’re taught
brings them into deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“This is what the Lord says: ‘As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim “peace”…’”
(Micah 3:5)

False prophecy is disgusting, Jesus.

Lying to the people who feed them
pandering to them, reassuring them

in spite of the fact
that they were sent by You
to warn them.

Question:

Do I ever tell people what they want to hear

instead of what they need to hear

because I want them to like me?

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.”
(Jonah 3:6)

Three things revealed how seriously the king took Your warning, Jesus:

He took off his royal robes, thus stripping himself of his position.
In humility, he covered himself with sackcloth.

And then to top it all off

he sat down in the dust, like a dog.

May I heed Your warnings

with no less clarity!
