Pray this Lazaroo in eager expectation:

“The LORD…raises the poor from the dust…”
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

That’s one of the things about You I like best, Jesus –

You don’t leave any of us where we are.

Those who are humbled You lift.
Those who are haughty You humble.

Of this I can be sure:

Whatever I do now
Whoever I am now

is going to change.

The more fully I surrender to You

the more stunning the end result.

One touch from You

is transformative.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone has caused grief…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

People don’t usually say something like this, Jesus

unless grief has been caused.

There’s seldom any “if” to it.

But for some, the word, “since” can be a little too strong.

Hence, the word, “if.”

Paul is trying to bring healing in the place of hurt

so with Your help, He’s choosing those words.

O God!

Give me Your words of healing
to share with those around me
who are hurting.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now…”
(Ruth 2:7)

That’s the key, isn’t it, Jesus?

“steadily.”

Doing a lot of work for a short while…stopping…doing some more later when I feel like it…

doesn’t have nearly the impact
that sticking with it day in/day out creates.

Steady work isn’t always flashy

but it gets the job done.

May I be a steady worker in Your fields

all day
every day
through harvest.

Pray this Lazaroo with opened eyes:

“I came to you…with much trembling.”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

This is the Apostle Paul talking, Jesus!

The man through whom You’ve given us
much of the New Testament.

The man through whom You healed sick people
and raised the dead.

The man who was stoned and left for dead
but got up.

The man who was bitten by a poisonous snake
and shook it off with no ill effects.

If there were times when he trembled

so can I.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“He sold them to their enemies all around…”
(Judges 2:14)

Don’t ever sell me to my enemies, Jesus!

I know You won’t
because I’m not about to forsake You.

That’s a last-ditch action on Your part, isn’t it?

You only resort to it

when people take advantage of Your kindness
and ignore Your every warning.

Not me.

I hear You – loudly and clearly.

You’re good, loving, merciful, longsuffering.

But there’s a line I’d better never, ever cross.

I won’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in Bible-led caution:

“They have become filled with every kind of…depravity.”
(Romans 1:29)

What a heartbreak, Jesus!

And what a danger.

Those who are giving themselves wholeheartedly to You can scarcely imagine the evil that lurks in the hearts of some.

They innocently think of them as good people who’ve made mistakes.

But it’s worse than that.

The infection coursing through their veins is lethal.

Even so, we cannot give up on them.

How can we?
You never gave up on us.

Sunday, May 7, 2017

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him.”
(Joshua 2:19)

Joshua’s spies were taking on themselves a huge responsibility, Jesus!

They were willing to be held accountable for the behavior
of Your entire army.

So my guess is, when they got back
they made the terms of their promise crystal clear.

But that raises the question:

Whose blood will be on my head
if I don’t make Your life-changing good news

crystal clear?

These must be the last days, Jesus

because women have added their voices

Thank You for that gift!
