Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…how…blameless…we were among you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:10)

People have called me many names over the years, Jesus

but no one has ever called me, “blameless.”

And even if they did

You wouldn’t.

Except…

You said if I’d confess my sins
You’d cleanse me from every one of them

Because I’ve put my trust in You alone

You’ve removed my sins from me
as far as the east is from the west

Wow.

So in the only Eyes that matter
I’m blameless.

Rejoice in the Family of God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Here are the men who served, together with their sons…”
(1 Chronicles 6:33)

Is there anything better, Jesus –

than for a dad to get to serve You alongside his children
for a son or daughter to be privileged to serve You with their dad?

Not many gifts are greater than that.

But who are my true moms and dads…sons and daughters?

You answered that a long time ago:

It’s the obedient ones
who do the will of Your Father.

Be in awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him…”
(Colossians 1:19)

Wow.

That pretty much says it, Jesus:

All there is of God
is in You.

You…are God.

The Creator.
LORD of all.

No wonder when Phillip begged You to show him the Father You told him:

“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

No wonder, when You identified Yourself to the soldiers who had come to arrest you

they fell to the ground.

So do I.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed resolve:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD…”
(2 Kings 3:2)

When it comes to doing good or evil, Jesus

Yours are the only eyes that matter.

My culture applauds behaviors You call sin.
My culture decries actions You command me to carry out.

Without question, my culture exerts a lot of pressure on me to conform.

But last time I checked…

at the end of my life I will stand before You
and not my culture.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.”
(Philippians 1:26)

I’d love for somebody’s joy in You…

to be my fault, Jesus!

I hope that’s already happened –

but if so, I’d like it to happen again

and again
and again.

In fact, if You want to use me to spread Your joy to everyone I know

I couldn’t be happier about it.

Fun can be had.

Joy, on the other hand, has to be granted

by You.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly discernment:

“Please ask King Solomon – he will not refuse you – “
(1 Kings 2:17)

That should have been Bathsheba’s first clue, Jesus:

Something about Adonijah’s request didn’t smell right.

Why didn’t he go to Solomon himself?

Because his request didn’t stand on its own merit.

He was hoping Solomon’s love for his mother
would blind him to its hidden agenda.

Help me take a lesson, Holy Spirit…

next time somebody asks me to do their dirty work.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…it is by grace you have been saved.”
(Ephesians 2:5)

If somebody asked me, “Can you save yourself?”

I’d tell them, “No!”

Only You can save me, Jesus.

So why do I sometimes act like that’s not the case?

When I can tell I’m falling short in my efforts to live like You

I’m sometimes haunted by fears that I might miss heaven.

Please remind me, Jesus!

What You did for me on the cross
is way, way more than enough.

 Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith: 

“Abner…made him king…”
(2 Samuel 2:8-9)

What happens when one man kings another, Jesus?

Not much.
Not for long.
Not for good.

You…are the kingmaker.

What You say, goes.
Whom You anoint, reigns.

Everyone else is a pretender, a wannabee.

Those who believe they can make it happen
are asking to be taught a lesson

by You.

Whoever attempts to promote someone without first checking for the unmistakable signs of Your approval

is setting himself up for a rude awakening.
