Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“‘Agreed,’ she replied. ‘Let it be as you say.’”
(Joshua 2:21)

Giving my word is no small thing, Jesus.

In this case, Rahab was making a promise
that would save hers and her family’s lives…

but only if she kept her word.

The stakes may not be that high for me, Father –

at least, not so far as I know –

but they’re huge, nonetheless.

If I’m a person of integrity people will trust me

when I point them to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit…”
(Acts 2:18)

There was a day when the expectation was

that You would work primarily through men, Jesus.

But that day is long gone.

The problems are too great.

The dilemmas too dire.

We need all hands on deck.

Besides, You’re the one who made women

You know how smart, resourceful and gifted they are.

Admit it, LORD…

You were saving the best for last. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“He will see it…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

You fulfill all Your promises, Jesus –

but not everyone gets to see it on earth.

Some tithers die before Your blessings roll in.

Some laborers breathe their last
before their work is rewarded.

Not every parent lives long enough

to see the children they’ve reared according to Your Word
turn to You with all their hearts.

But if we don’t get to, here

we’ll have a better seat to enjoy it
up there.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…heard what John had said and…followed Jesus.”
(John 1:40)

I’ve heard what John said, Jesus –

and I’m following You.

Your words through John and the other Bible authors

have the ring of truth like no other.

But that’s not all.

They’re backed up by fact.

Nor is that all.

They’re confirmed by my experience.

If it sounds like the truth

looks like the truth

and lives like the truth

I’m staking my life on it:

It’s the Truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of…all its equipment…”
(Numbers 3:36)

How would it feel to have that assignment, Jesus?

This was no piece of cake job.

The Israelites were homeless in the wilderness.

The moment You told them to move, they had to pack up.

When you told them to stop

it was time to set up all over again…
…and again…and again…

So I’m not surprised to find that my assignment

is no piece of cake either.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(Luke 1:45)

You always fulfill Your promises, Jesus –

but in Your way and time.

When my schedule conflicts with Yours

I’m tempted to think it’s never going to happen.

When my way of doing it blinds me to Your superior plan

I can totally miss what You’re up to.

O God!

Help me rest in the certainty of Your promises
with eyes that see.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:23)

You have a purpose for everything, Jesus!

The goat had to be male because You revealed Yourself on earth as a man.

The goat had to be without defect
because You deserve only our best.

But there’s another reason:

You lived 33 years on this earth and never sinned.
Not once.

That made You the Ultimate Perfect Sacrifice for the sins of the world

including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing…”
(Mark 1:44)

Back in the day, Your people offered many sacrifices, Jesus.

It was the blood of the animals
that made atonement for Your people’s sins.

But those sacrifices could never cleanse a sinner’s conscience, could they?

Only Your sacrifice on the cross could do that.

No wonder when John the Baptist saw you coming, he said:

“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“I AM has sent me to you.”
(Exodus 3:14)

I’m leery, Jesus…

when somebody walks up and says:
“God told me to tell you…”

A percentage of those people are unstable.

Others who talk like that are self-deluded.
Still others are manipulative charlatans.

But the thing is, there’s always the possibility

that one of them could be telling the truth.

Whatever anyone says has to be backed up by Your Word

and confirmed within me
by You, Holy Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.
