Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…I want the men everywhere to pray…”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

Of course, You want women everywhere to pray, too, Jesus!

So why single out the men?

Is it because You want to make it clear that praying is not only women’s work?

Is it because men sometimes focus more on showing their faith by their actions

and fail to understand that in time their actions will falter
if they don’t stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You?

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I will live among you…”
(Zechariah 2:11)

You’re everywhere present, Jesus…

so this is an intensification of Your Presence, isn’t it?

You’re always wherever I am

but there’s the potential of something closer
more palpable, more intimate.

Wow.

I want that.

Let me rephrase:
I want You.

But You want me, too, don’t You?

Oh, not merely in the sense
that I’ve prayed to receive You as my Savior

but in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…your backsliding will rebuke you.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Has it ever, Jesus!

Has it ever.

When I truly visualize everything I’ve lost

I drop to my knees…then to my face…
in anguish.

How stupid! How foolish! How unimaginably dense, blind, shortsighted!

But I’d be wise not to spend any more time beating myself up.

I need every ounce of energy left in my body
to make certain from this moment forward

I stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Cry out to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the pursuers…searched all along the road and returned without finding them.”
(Joshua 2:22)

You hid them, Jesus!

That’s why their enemies couldn’t find them.

O God! Hide me from all who mean me harm!

Hide me in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Be my Shield, my Protector, my Defender.

But enable all who love You and Your Word

to find me, Father!

so together we can pool the gifts You’ve given us

to bring eternal glory to You!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…let me hear your voice…”
(Song of Songs 2:14)

Some people think this book of the Bible is merely a lover’s poem, Jesus.

But a lot of scholars think it’s something deeper.

They think it gives a glimpse into the kind of

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment, 1on1 relationship
You long for us to experience with You.

If so, then You’re the Lover…and I’m the beloved.

You’re telling me You want to hear my voice

often!

sharing my deepest thoughts with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the building of the house of the LORD.”
(Ezra 3:8)

There’s more than one way to build Your house, Jesus.

Here, Ezra’s talking about the physical building of Your temple.
Pretty important.

There’s building the number of people who go each week
to worship in Your house.
No small thing, that.

But nothing is as important as building the people themselves
into Your likeness

teaching them Your Word
enabling them to develop

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.
