Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then you will become their victim.”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

We all believe we’re better off than some people, Jesus.

But just because that’s true today
doesn’t mean it will always be so.

You raise up those who are low

and humble those You’ve lifted so high
that they’ve become proud and arrogant
convinced of their superiority.

Next time You bless me, LORD

help me be humbled
by the knowledge that it’s Your loving, merciful grace

and not what I deserve.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The metal on the chariots flashes…”
(Nahum 2:3)

It’s happening in broad daylight, Jesus

and there’s not one thing the Ninevites can do about it.
This punishment is from You.

Why?

It was their cruelty, wasn’t it?
their witchcraft and prostitution.

You sent your prophet Jonah to warn them.

They listened! Repented!
You relented.

But after You showed them kindness

they went right back to it.

O God!

May I never repeat their mistake
in response to Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Does [the LORD] do such things?”
(Micah 2:7)

Unbelieving people accuse You of doing so much wrong, Jesus.

But is that what You do?

No!

Because it’s not who You are.

Do You punish wrong? Yes –

though not as our sins deserve.

Are You unfair in Your judgments? Absolutely not.

Instead, just the opposite – You are uncomprehendingly merciful.

Is there an eternal hell that awaits all evildoers? Certainly –

along with an eternal, glorious heaven
for every sinner who repents.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“…the LORD commanded the fish…”
(Jonah 2:10)

…and he did exactly what You told him to, Jesus.

If a fish can do what You command

why can’t I?

Oh, I do…most of the time.

But I have some things I need to work on, don’t I?

Some might argue that a fish is too stupid to do anything other than what he’s told.

O God! Help me attain that level of stupidity!

It’s embarrassing to be upstaged by a fish.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They will occupy the fields of Ephraim…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

Ephraim was Joseph’s second son, Jesus.

When Jacob blessed his two grandsons
he put Ephraim ahead of his older brother Manasseh.

His descendants became one of Your 12 tribes of Israel.

But in the Promised Land
they failed to dislodge those worshipping idols
and became idol-worshippers themselves.

Who are those I need to dislodge from my life, Father?

before I follow their evil ways
and lose my fields to others?

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting faith:

“When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?”
(Amos 3:6)

Well, no, Jesus.

Not much anymore. At least, not in my city.

When a trumpet plays taps at a funeral

we’re usually sad…but seldom tremble.

These days, trumpets are happy instruments

bringing bright, brassy sounds to bands, orchestras, concerts.

But back in the day, the sound of a trumpet in the city

meant the enemy was attacking.

And one day Your trumpet

will melt hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“They do not jostle each other…”
(Joel 2:8)

Well, let’s just say, Jesus…

these supernatural locusts did a whole lot better
than we all-too-ordinary humans.

We tend to jostle one another quite a bit.

Oh, when there’s no rush
and plenty to go around
we’re polite enough.

But just let something go on sale

or become popular, in short supply

and suddenly there’s a whole lot of pushing and shoving going on!

Please, LORD.
Don’t let that be me.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“I will live with you.”
(Hosea 3:3)

Nothing unusual to say to a wife, Jesus…

unless she’s left her husband to become a prostitute –
which is exactly what Hosea’s wife Gomer had done.

There was only one reason he took her back:

You told him to.

To his everlasting credit, he did it –

maybe the hardest command he ever obeyed.

You wanted to demonstrate through him what You’ve done with me

in taking me back
after all my sins.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“These are the words of him who is the First and the Last…”
(Revelation 2:8)

Well, that would be You, Jesus.

You’re First of all time
You have no beginning.

You’re Last of all time
You have no end.

You ARE.

You’re the Great, One and Only

I AM.

You’re the Creator of everything that exists

the Rock who accompanied Israel in the desert
the Cornerstone of the Church

My Savior, my LORD

my God.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:24)

Took a lot of courage, Jesus.

Daniel was one of the wise men
Arioch was ordered to execute.

Daniel didn’t know this man would listen to him.

By showing up on his doorstep
Daniel could have become Arioch’s first victim.

But filled with confidence in You, Daniel marched straight into the danger.

Help me follow in the footsteps of Daniel!
