Thursday, January 11, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering devotion:

“…the king of Egypt said, ‘Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!’’…That same day Pharaoh gave this order: ‘You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.”
(Exodus 5:4,6-7)

When I obey You, Jesus

sometimes things get worse.

At first.

But when I continue to obey You no matter what

the outcome is always more than worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in the assurance only God can give:

“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.”
(Matthew 4:23-24)

Every disease, Jesus

and every person.

There’s no part of my body You can’t heal

because You’re the one who made it.

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“Now Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let’s go out to the field.’ While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’”
(Genesis 4:8-9)

Cain struck out, Jesus:

He deceived his brother.
He killed his brother.
He lied to God.

But I’ve struck out more times than Cain.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.”
(Malachi 3:1)

All those years, decades, centuries and millennia of waiting, Jesus

and then suddenly!
it happened.

May I never become impatient with Your timing.

I know.

Easier prayer to pray
than in faith to obey.

But this I also know:

You always do what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“I asked the angel, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand…these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?’ He replied, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ ‘No, my lord,’ I said. So he said, ‘These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.’”
(Zechariah 4:11-14)

Like Zechariah, Jesus

there’s so much I don’t understand.

But I trust You!

No matter what.

Get your, “Yes Sir!” ready, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’ Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai…”
(Haggai 1:2-3)

You hear our complaints, Jesus.

They grate on Your ears.

When we insist we don’t have time

to take care of the things that matter to You

we’re about to learn the hard way:

We should have kept our mouths shut.

You’ll appoint someone
to deliver the news.

Friday, January 5, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgement:

“‘Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’ This is what they will get in return for their pride…”
(Zephaniah 2:9-10)

Solomon said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Sadly, he experienced it.

So will I, unless I remember:
You are the Giver of my gifts.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”
(Nahum 3:1)

That’s what got to You the most, wasn’t it, Jesus?

The victims.

Those who lost their lives due to the monstrous cruelty embedded in Nineveh’s culture.

Those who lost loved ones, grieving without relief.
Broken promises, broken homes, broken lives.

It was all about the victims then

it’s all about the victims now.

You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever.

Our suffering
continues to break Your heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.’”
(Micah 4:6-8)


You love us too much, don’t You, Jesus?

We deserve so much worse.
But You give us so much better.
