Pray this Lazaroo in full-on passion:

“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?”
(1 Thessalonians 2:19)

For all his power and authority, Jesus

Paul loved the people to whom You had sent him

which, of course, includes me.

When it comes right down to it

it’s all about love.

May I love Your people not only as Paul did

but as did You.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Sons were born to Shaharaim in Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara. By his wife Hodesh he had Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malkam, Jeuz, Sakia and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of families.”
(1 Chronicles 8:8-10)

I can’t identify with multiple wives, Jesus.

And I know how much You hate divorce.

But I sure can testify that no matter how messed up our lives…

You – and You alone! – have the power to turn them around.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

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

What an awesome goal, Jesus!

That’s who I long to be to those around me:

an encouragement.

But it’s not merely saying a nice word or two, is it?

It’s encouraging people’s hearts

letting them know I truly care about them
being there for them when they’re down

telling them the truth they need to hear
in a way that gives them direction and hope.

Because that’s the kind of encouragement I need!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall.”
(2 Kings 3:26-27)

Desperate people who don’t worship You

end up doing terrible, unthinkable things, Jesus!

May my faith be in You alone

causing me to do only what is good!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God…being found in appearance as a man…humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
(Philippians 2:5-6, 8)

Here I am mightily struggling to humble myself, Jesus

when only a few things don’t go my way

while for me, You humbled Yourself
all the way to death.

If called upon, help me humble myself as You did

because You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

Never forget! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time. But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off…At this, he saddled his donkey and went…in search of his slaves.”
(1 Kings 2:38-40)

Solomon warned Shimei not to leave the city, Jesus!

After three years, the warning had faded in his mind…

but not in Solomon’s.

Shimei’s faded memory cost him his life.

It doesn’t matter how long ago You tell me something, does it, Father?

Your Word still stands.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Pray this Lazaroo with fear and trembling:

“May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”
(2 Samuel 3:9-10)

If Abner knew all of that, Jesus

then why didn’t he do it to begin with?
A lot of people died because he didn’t.

How many will suffer because I don’t do

what I already know I should?

Wednesday, June 8, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo in soul-searching recognition:

“Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?”
(Galatians 3:3)

When You put it that way, Jesus

it really does sound foolish.

And now that You mention it

that may be what I’m doing –
at least some of the time.

One part of me knows I can’t earn heaven by the good things I do

but there’s another part that still keeps trying.

No.
It’s You.
Not me.

All You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a pure, passionate heart:

“…the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.”
(1 Samuel 2:26)

That’s how I long to grow, Jesus!

Most importantly, to grow in stature and favor with You.

Even if people don’t accept me, it’s okay
so long as You are pleased with me.

Still, it’s good when You cause me to grow
in stature and favor with people

so they will believe me
when I tell them about You.
