Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted. Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death…”
(Psalm 9:11-13)

I’ve got to know this, Jesus!

When I see the atrocities being committed, it breaks my heart!

Thank You for letting me know You will intervene for them

and me.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Philemon 1:3)

When I live in the wonder of Your grace, Jesus

I experience Your peace.

So long as I believe I have to earn my way to heaven

there is no peace
because I know I’ll never be good enough.

But when I trust what You did for me on the cross

as payment in full for my sins

I’m filled with Your peace
that surpasses all understanding.

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

“When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’ The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn. My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.”
(Job 7:4-6)

We need good sleep, Jesus.

We need good health.

But under Satan’s attack we may enjoy neither.

It’s so easy to feel hopeless like Job.
But I trust in You to rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
(Titus 2:7-8)

Paul didn’t want people saying bad things about Titus, Jesus

but he also didn’t want them saying bad things about him!

He knew whatever Titus said and did
was a reflection on him

just as what I say and do
is a reflection on those
who’ve built into my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…Mordecai…tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly. But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it.”
(Esther 4:1-2)

The king didn’t want to see anybody who was sad, Jesus.

He wanted everything to appear happy.

Thank You for being the King of kings

who invites me to come close to You
when my heart is breaking.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Passionately call on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”
(Nehemiah 4:4-5)

You hear the prayer of Your desperate followers who are doing Your will, Jesus!

I qualify as desperate.

Now I just need to make sure I’m following You

and doing exactly what You’ve called me to do.

Lean heavily on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now the overseer… must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
(1 Timothy 3:2,4-5)

What a challenge for this man You’ve called into Your service, Jesus!

You know how Satan attacks him, his wife
and every member of his family.

Protect them, LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read…they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop. Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill…”
(Ezra 4:23-24)

That doesn’t seem right, Jesus!

All because of a letter?

No.

You’re in Total Control.
You’re Sovereign!

Never let me forget that when something happens or doesn’t happen

it’s because You caused it
or allowed it.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I want all my words to be good, Jesus

not just some of them.

But my only hope to achieve that lofty goal

is to stay constantly in tune with You, Holy Spirit!

May every word I speak be fulfilled

because it originates with You!
