Pray this Lazaroo in humble recognition:

“This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty. The LORDwill be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.”
(Zephaniah 2:10-11)

May You never be awesome to me for that reason, Jesus!

But I will rejoice with You
when You destroy all the gods of the earth.

including the idols
I battle in my own life.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD.”
(Habakkuk 3:2)

You can do anything, Jesus.

Already, You’ve pretty much done everything.

Creating the heavens and earth was amazing.
So were Your virgin birth, healing the blind
walking on water, raising the dead
rising from Your tomb on the third day.

By comparison, my requests seem puny

but they’re a big deal to me.

I know You can.

With bated breath, I’m waiting and hoping

that You Will.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!”
(Nahum 3:2)

Sounds I don’t want to hear, Jesus!

Sounds of my impending doom
for all the sins I’ve committed against You.

There’s no denying.

There have been many.
They’re what I deserve.

But they’re not what I want!

Forgive me, LORD!
Rescue me!

Do not hold against me the sins of my past
nor the sins of this very hour.

In Your mercy

Give me my second billionth chance.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Why do you now cry aloud—have you no king? Has your ruler perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion…you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.”
(Micah 4:9-10)

When my sins have cost me my home, Jesus

is all lost?

No.

Even in a strange and foreign land

You can rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.”
(Jonah 4:1)

There are a lot of things going on right now, Jesus

that seem very wrong to me.

Am I going to be like Jonah?

Am I going to be angry about it
shake my fist in Your face

and charge You with wrongdoing?

Even worse

am I going to lose faith
conclude You no longer intervene
in the affairs of earth?

NO!

I put all my trust in You!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night—oh, what a disaster awaits you!—would they not steal only as much as they wanted?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

What a scary warning, Jesus!

Those who blatantly ignore Your love, goodness and mercy
will receive punishment beyond the norm.

Is there any way, shape or form in which I have committed this grievous sin?

If so, please forgive me!
In Your Might, help me turn around!

out of love and gratitude
not only from fear of punishment.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.”
(Amos 5:14-15)

This is Your Word through the prophet Amos, Jesus

to those who have sinned greatly.

I will do my best to follow it.

Fits me to a T.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate faith:

“…never again will my people be shamed. And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:27-28)

I long for the day when we will no longer be shamed, Jesus!

Pour out Your Spirit on all Your people!
Grant us holy dreams and visions!

Yes, we read Your Word and do our best to apply it to our lives.

But we’re so weary of wondering
if we got it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
(Hosea 6:3)

I cannot tell You how desperately I need Your sun to appear, Jesus!

I long to have You come to me like the winter rains!
I’ve got to have Your spring rains water my parched earth!

Rescue me.
Please.

Rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt passion:

“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich…”
(Revelation 3:17-18)

I know I’m not “rich,” Jesus –

not the way the church of Laodicea claimed to be.

Nevertheless, I fully embrace Your counsel to them:

Sell me Your gold refined in the fire –

so I can become rich
in those ways only You desire!
