Pray this Lazaroo in humble circumspection:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.”
(1 Timothy 3:1)

It’s natural, Jesus –

to look at what one of Your leaders is doing and think:

“I’d like to do that!”

It’s a noble thing to want to serve You.

They are to be commended, encouraged, helped,
guided, taught, prayed over.

But O God!

May only those You’ve truly called pursue that course

because in truth

they know not what they ask.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?

Pray this Lazaroo with deep desire:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I need to pray that prayer over those I love, Jesus!

Some of them desperately need You to encourage their hearts.

I would love for someone to pray that prayer over me, too.

You know what’s going on in my heart.
You know how much I need Your encouragement!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan…All these things…amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.”
(2 Chronicles 4:16-18)

Whatever I do for You, spend for You, sacrifice for You, Jesus

is never enough!

But oh, the joy of giving my all

knowing my all

is all You require!

Pray this Lazaroo in breathless anticipation:

“For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:19-20)

Other than You, Yourself, Jesus

the best thing about heaven isn’t going to be streets of gold.
It isn’t going to be pearly gates or even the vast number of mighty angels.

It will be the people who are there
because of what You did through me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The sons of Elpaal…who built Ono and Lod with its surrounding villages and Beriah and Shema, who were heads of families of those living in Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath.”
(1 Chronicles 8:12-13)

To build cities and villages – and do it right?

We need You, Jesus!

But to drive out the inhabitants of Gath –

where Goliath and the other giants lived –

required Your miracle power!

I’ve got a few giants I need to drive out.

Thank God, You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo with newfound respect:

“…‘my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.’ Elisha replied…, ‘How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?’ ‘…nothing there at all,’ she said, ‘except a small jar of olive oil.’”
(2 Kings 4:1-2)

But with You, Jesus

that’s all it takes, isn’t it?

Something little.

In fact, You prefer it that way

because when the miracle happens

we know it’s You!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:9-11)

I’m not waiting, Jesus!

I bow before You now.

You Are Lord of all – my Lord!

to the glory of God Your Father.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the king summoned Shimei and said to him, ‘Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, “On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die”? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’”
(1 Kings 2:42)

Solomon set Shimei up for failure, Jesus.

The guy just didn’t have it in himself
to do the right thing for the rest of his life

so his life was cut short.

Got it.
