Saturday, April 20, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo in confident desperation:

“His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. He says to himself, ‘God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.’ Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.”
(Psalm 10:10-12)

There are times when I feel helpless, Jesus.

This is one of them.

But I’m not helpless, am I?

Not so long as I have You.

And that’s a long time!

Because You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?”
(Job 8:8-10)

What refreshing, humble words of wisdom, Jesus!

May I never be counted among the proud
who regard older saints with disdain

as though modern times
make their counsel irrelevant!

Technology changes.
People don’t.

The hard-won experience of the aged

is priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”
(Titus 2:10)

That’s extra incentive to live the way you had in mind

when You gave Your life for me on the cross, Jesus!

Not only to please You

but also to inspire others to believe in You
and give their lives to You.

So now the question:

Am I living in every way to make the teaching about You attractive?

If not, please show me!
So I can correct it.
Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.’”
(Esther 4:15-16)

Great God!

Give me the courage of Esther!

In Jesus’ Name.

Pray this Lazaroo with anticipation:

“ In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”
(2 Timothy 2:20-21)

I long to be useful to You, Jesus!

Please prepare me for every good work
You have in mind for me to perform

to Your everlasting glory!

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

“…half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor…Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked.”
(Nehemiah 4:16-18)

Those are extreme measures Jesus

needed only when the threat level is high.

Because I’m sold out to You

the threat level from the enemy of my soul is always high.

Better strap on my sword of the Spirit
and suit up in the full armor of God!

Pray this Lazaroo with focused resolve:

“…the women are to be…temperate and trustworthy in everything.”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

Of course, Jesus.

So are the men.

You don’t want me to be a fit-thrower, a drunkard

wild or unbalanced.

It pleases You when I exercise self-control.

You want me to be the kind of person who can be trusted

with other people’s money and secrets
to show up when I say I will

to refuse temptation
even when I don’t think I’ll get caught.

Go ahead, be impressed as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. He even removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylon.”
(Ezra 5:13-14)

Why would a mighty king

just one day up and decide to do such a thing, Jesus?

Because You put it in his heart
and made him do it.

I’m in pretty good Hands, aren’t I?

Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.
