Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)

That’s the line, isn’t it, Jesus?

Some people quote the Bible the way they do any other book.

Though I don’t know how

there are people who read the Bible and don’t believe a word of it.

I’m so far from perfect that I scare myself and everyone around me, LORD –

but this much I know:

The Bible is Your miraculous, infallible, life-changing Word.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…the first lot was for them…”
(1 Chronicles 6:54)

Were the descendants of Aaron lucky, Jesus?

After all, they were casting lots.

No. It wasn’t luck.

Yes, the lot was cast into the priest’s lap
but its every decision came straight from You.

To this very moment, no one says or does anything

unless you order it
or allow it.

That doesn’t remove the responsibility of my free will.

It just reminds me that my will

can’t thwart Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…if you continue in your faith…”
(Colossians 1:23)

Why wouldn’t I continue in my faith in You, Jesus?

Only if I don’t truly believe in You to start with.

Because if I fully accept who You Are –

Creator of everything
the God-Man who came to earth as a baby
my Savior who died for my sins and rose again –

I would never, ever give up my faith in You

any more than You will ever give up on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Biblical insight:

“I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
(1 Kings 3:7)

That’s quite a declaration by the king of Judah, Jesus –

since Israel’s king was evil.

Both were descendants of Abraham

but only one was honoring his ancestor’s God.

I need to be cautious with my pledges of support, don’t I, LORD?

Before I sign on to somebody’s project or campaign
I’d be wise to make certain they’re signed on to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused intent:

“…on behalf of Christ…”
(Philippians 1:29)

That’s how I intend to live my life, Jesus –

on behalf of You.

I want everything I think, say and do

to be for You.

If that truly is my heart, my plan, my goal, my purpose –

how can I go wrong?

There’s no higher reason for living

no greater way to move singlemindedly through each day.

Rise up within me in power, Holy Spirit!

so that my intent

will be fulfilled in action.

Get flexible, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…after all, he is my older brother…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

There is a pecking order, isn’t there, Jesus?

Horses have it.
So do cats and dogs.

Human beings do, too.

Although David appointed Solomon to be his successor

Solomon’s older brother had other ideas –
with tradition on his side.

But You’ve never been bound by tradition, have You, Father?

Is there any area in my life I might be taking for granted
that You intend to turn totally upside-down?

Tuesday, June 19, 2018

 

Pray this Lazaroo in growing recognition:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

I need that reminder, Jesus.

I sometimes get so upset with myself
that I forget Who made me!

True – some of my shortcomings are my fault –

stuff I can correct, with Your help.

But how much of who and what I am

is exactly how You designed me?

Instead of wishing I was like somebody else

why don’t I instead lean on You to show me

why I’m the way I am?

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s men.”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

You determine the outcome of every battle, Jesus!

The size of each army doesn’t matter.

The one You declare the victor

is the one who will win.

Not some of the time.
Not most of the time.
Every time.

How many more battles will I face, Father?

It doesn’t matter, does it?

So long as I faithfully, passionately follow You

I’ll prevail in every one.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“But when they arrived, he began to draw back…”
(Galatians 2:12)

Peer pressure can be a good thing, Jesus

when the people around me are wholly devoted to You

when their only desire for me
is to see me follow You.

But so many times, groups and individuals have their own ideas

causing them to pressure me to fall in line with their agendas.

I’d love to please them, Father!

But I’d ten thousand times rather please You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He will guard the feet of his saints…”
(1 Samuel 2:9)

Guard mine, Jesus!

My feet have taken me to wonderful places
and some not so wonderful.

When I was younger

I thought becoming an adult
meant finally getting to go wherever I wanted to go.

But since when do I know enough to make that decision?

You alone know the end from the beginning.

Now all I want

is for You to lead me where You want to go.
