Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Have you sent an envoy to my nation, Jesus?

If so, who?

Many of Your people ignored John the Baptist

not realizing he was the Elijah You sent
to prepare the way for Your First Coming.

Please grant us discernment to weed out false prophets!

But I don’t want to miss any envoy You’ve sent
to prepare us for Your Second Coming.

Pray this Lazaroo with perceptive faith:

 

“’I gave you empty stomachs in every city and lack of bread in every town, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord. ‘I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away.’”
(Amos 4:6-7)

I really need to pay attention, don’t I, Jesus?

When bad things happen to me
I need to ask, “Why?”

Not because I think I don’t deserve it

but because I know for a fact I do.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—”
(Joel 2:13-14)

Why do You treat us so much better than we deserve, Jesus?

It’s Your deep, abiding love, isn’t it?

Hallelujah!
Thank You!

But I can’t let it stop here, can I?

There are those who’ve wronged me
even as I have wronged You.

May I extend to them
Your deep, abiding love!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awareness:

“I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes—a people without understanding will come to ruin!”
(Hosea 4:14)

Give me understanding, Jesus!

Especially help me grasp the power of my example.

You certainly do –

excusing the sins of these young women
because of the awful example set before them.

May everyone who looks to me

safely follow my steps

as I follow Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Now I say…to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets…’ hold on to what you have until I come.’”
(Revelation 2:23-25)

O Jesus!

May I always be counted among those

who haven’t learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets
and who hold on to what I have till You come.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up…”
(Jude 1:20)

This isn’t a suggestion, is it, Jesus?

It’s a command.

Apparently, getting spiritually stronger

isn’t something that’s going to happen to me
while I lie back and wait.

I’ve got to hit the spiritual gym:

Studying your Word
Praying
Forsaking my sin
Attending church services
Serving
Sharing my faith

Salvation? That’s free.

All I have to do is believe.

But if I truly believe

I’ve got to get to work.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt dedication:

“The hand of the Lord was on me there, and he said to me, ‘Get up and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you.’ So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the Lord was standing there…and I fell facedown.”
(Ezekiel 3:22-23)

Even though I can’t see it or feel it, Jesus

I believe Your hand is on me.

Certainly, You speak to me each day through Your Word!

So before You…I fall facedown.

Commit to stand! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense…”
(3 John 1:9-10)

John wasn’t about to let this pass, Jesus.

Truth is too important.
Reputations are priceless.

If somebody is spreading malicious lies

they need to be stopped.

If what they’re claiming is utter nonsense

the holes, inconsistencies and fallacies
have to be pointed out.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“The Lord…did not withhold his hand from destroying. He made ramparts and walls lament; together they wasted away. Her gates have sunk into the ground; their bars he has broken and destroyed.”
(Lamentations 2:8-9)

It’s easy to have a false idea of who You are, Jesus

believing You would never do such a thing.

Are You the Creator – the very embodiment – of love?

Yes! Absolutely! Hallelujah!

But maybe I’d better get a firmer grasp

on how much You hate sin!
