Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Lions have roared…”
(Jeremiah 2:15)

That’s a terrifying thing, Jesus.

I can imagine how an innocent gazelle
quenching her thirst from a peaceful brook must feel
when that sound comes from the brush behind.

The reason I can imagine it

is that I’ve been stalked by lions of a different sort –
people intent on bringing me down.

But just when fear is about to immobilize me

I remember You, the Lion of Judah

whose ultimate roar
drowns theirs out.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…your sins have been forgiven…”
(1 John 2:12)

Are there any sweeter words than that, Jesus?

Not for an habitual, repentant, undeserving sinner like me.

“I love you” are three wonderful words, that’s for sure

but to be loved by one person or a thousand
doesn’t gain me entrance into heaven.

Only what You did for me by giving Your life on the cross

can do that.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn assessment:

“Their land is full of silver and gold…”
(Isaiah 2:7)

But since when has that been enough, Jesus?

We work long hours for money and the things it will buy

then come to the end of the day

exhausted, empty, dissatisfied.

So we work even harder, longer

thinking the solution will be found in more

but it isn’t.

Sadly, only then do we stop, look around

and turn to You

the only one who can satisfy
my longing soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
(2 Peter 1:21)

Your prophets knew what that was like, Jesus

I’d like to know what that’s like, too.

I don’t want to be carried along by Satan

by the crowd

by my best friend

by my own thoughts.

Those carriers can’t get me very far –

not in the right direction, at least!

You’re the only one who can carry me safely

perfectly

in the right way

all the way home.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…come with me.”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

It’s one thing for me to say:

“I’ll go with You, Jesus.”

That’s me making a promise to the one who loves me

more than I can even begin to imagine.

But when You say:

“Come with me…”

Wow. Oh, wow.

That’s the one who knows me inside and out
who knows every day of my past

every moment of my future

inviting me to accompany You
on the adventure of my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…God…raised him from the dead…”
(1 Peter 1:21)

That’s what You did for Jesus, Father

and because of my faith in Him
that’s what You’ll do for me.

Yes, He deserved it

I don’t.

Your Son is perfect.

I’m still stumbling, falling
getting back up
trying to figure it out.

So when I stand before You one day and hear You say:

“Well done!”

There’s only word for that moment:

Grace.

By the power of Your Name, Jesus!

Amen.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The fate of the fool will overtake me also…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

In one sense that’s true, Jesus.

Fools die.
So will I.

But thanks to You

I don’t have to be a fool!

If I’m a fool now

I don’t have to remain one.

The fool denies You.

I worship You.

The fool ignores Your Word

I embrace it.

The fool can’t be told, corrected or taught.

I beg You to shape, lead and mold me
into Your likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…a poor man in shabby clothes…comes in.”
(James 2:2)

It’s a test, isn’t it, Jesus?

What’s my first thought?
What’s the expression on my face?
What do I say?
What do I do?

I don’t have to ask.

You want me to treat him with love, respect, dignity.

Don’t ever, ever, ever allow me to look down on anyone!

You made each and every soul I will ever see.
Help me think, feel, speak and act like it.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…keep to the paths of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 2:20)

The righteous have paths, Jesus!

Plural, not singular.

True, You’re the only way to heaven.

No one can come to the Father
except through You.

So for each of us it’s the same:

Follow You wherever You lead.
Stay true to Your Word.

But because You’ve made each of us unique

when we follow You
we discover new paths

when we wholeheartedly embrace Your Word
unexplored worlds open before us.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted passion:

“…in service to God…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

That’s what You did on earth, Jesus.

And that’s the example You’ve set for me to follow.

You are both God and Man.

But there was no getting around it:
As a man, You needed to serve God.

So do I.

I don’t have the perfect connection that You have
so from time to time I get my signals crossed.

But may I never – not for one moment! –

cease trying to serve You.
