Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“Until now…”
(Haggai 2:19)

The “until now” of the past tries to hold us captive, Jesus

But You came to change that.

In You –

what I used to be, used to do, the way I used to think –

are irrelevant.

My future is as bright as Your promises –

which are dazzlingly brilliant!

I’m no longer required to drive forward while looking in my rearview mirror.

In You, I can look ahead

and see unfolding before my eyes

new possibilities!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…seek humility…
(Zephaniah 2:3)

Won’t have to seek long, Jesus.

If I’m genuinely looking for humility I’m gonna find it

in the blessings I don’t deserve

in the skills I don’t possess
to accomplish what I desire

in the sins I’ve committed
too many times to count

in the reality that I didn’t put myself here.
You created me, sustain me, own me.

So, yeah.

If I’m truly on the lookout for humility
it’ll hit me smack dab between the eyes.

Know it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the palace collapses.”
(Nahum 2:6)

When that happens, Jesus

it leaves people in shock.

These high and mighty leaders with their unimaginable resources

seem untouchable.

But they’re not.

One nudge from Your pinkie finger
one puff of air from your left nostril

is all it takes!

…and down they go –

while those who revere Your Name and trust in You alone

enjoy incomprehensible blessing and protection!

You’ve warned me:

In this world I’ll have trouble.

But that’s okay.

Because You overcome the world!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…it is defiled…”
(Micah 2:10)

Someone or something starts out fine, Jesus

and then it’s defiled.

A word or action displeasing to You is all it takes

for it to be defiled.

You give me specific instructions about life

that You intend for me to follow.

When I don’t do it the way You prescribe

I defile the very thing You’ve provided to be a blessing.

How foolish.
What a waste!

May I never, ever defile one of Your gifts!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“He proclaimed, ‘Forty more days and Ninevah will be overturned.’”
(Jonah 3:4)

Finally, Jonah obeyed You, Jesus.

First, he ran away
hopped a ship in the opposite direction.

Stupid decision.
No one can run away from You.

You sent a storm so bad the sailors threw him overboard
had a great fish swallow him until he repented, then spit him out.

Now, he’s preaching like You told him to.

How much better
when I obey You the first time!

Wednesday, July 22, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo in relaxed anticipation:

“…the exiles…will possess the towns of the Negev.”
(Obadiah 1:20)

Finding out they were going to be given towns

probably sounded great, Jesus…

until they found out they were in a desert

of brown, rocky, dusty mountains
filled with deep craters and dry riverbeds.

Inhospitable? Sure.

But they were exiles.
They made do.

My accommodations on this earth are temporary.

Until I arrive at my permanent home in heaven

I’ll take what I get
and not throw a fit.

Strengthen your resolve, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“’They do not know how to do right,’ declares the LORD…”
(Amos 3:10)

Whose fault is that, Jesus?

Is it because their leaders haven’t taught them Your ways?

O God!

Give us pastors, deacons, Sunday School teachers
small group leaders, writers, government and business leaders

who diligently teach and apply Your Word
as they faithfully discharge their duties!

But even if they do not

may each of us take personal responsibility
to learn and obey Your loving commands.

Pray this Lazaroo in ever-expanding faith:

“…his forces are beyond number…”
(Joel 2:11)

This fills me with joy, Jesus!

We humans have come up with some pretty big numbers –

not that any of us can really count that high!

But still, we know what they represent. They’re legit.

So, to try to grasp the size of Your forces

is impossible for my mind to conceive.

But it causes a great sense of comfort and protection and safety

to rise up within me.

In You
I’m safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land…”
(Hosea 4:1)

You were reminding them of how much You had done for them, Jesus!

They were living in the land You had given them.

Through them, You evicted the previous landowners.

Now, they were committing the same sins
that brought about the eviction of their predecessors.

May I never take for granted what You’ve done for me!

May I walk with You always
in obedient humility.

Be filled with confidence, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.”
(Revelation 2:12)

The members of Your church in Pergamum –

now the city of Bergama, Turkey –

had to hear these words with great joy, Jesus!

Back then, it was a powerful, rich city in Mysia, Greece –

where Satan had his throne.

You were reminding these stalwart followers of Yours

of the same thing You’re telling me:

I will protect you!

Great God!

Wield Your double-edged sword
against the enemy of my soul.
