Pray this Lazaroo in humble trust:

“I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”
(Exodus 4:21-23)

To us, this seems unjust, Jesus

But no!
You are Just!

This side of heaven, we don’t have the ability to grasp

the mind-bogglingly vast number of factors
that inform Your righteous actions.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right…because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.”
(Micah 3:9,12)

Your gift and call to be a leader is a staggering responsibility Jesus.

It gives to a human being the ability to sway others

for right
or for wrong

and then to face the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep conviction:

“The sons of Ulam were brave warriors who could handle the bow. They had many sons and grandsons—150 in all.”
(1 Chronicles 8:40)

The ability to handle a bow is a gift, Jesus.

Without that gift, no one can be great at it.

But just because I’ve been given a gift

doesn’t mean I don’t have to develop it
and practice, practice, practice.

Show me the gifts You’ve given me, Holy Spirit!

and give me the determination to develop them
to their full, life-changing potential.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.”
(Revelation 3:1-2)

Deeds, Jesus.

Not words.

You’ve given me a job to do, along with the gifts and ability to do it.

My excuses for not doing it don’t matter.

I’ve got to finish it

while there’s still time.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“If, however, they cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour for a sin offering.”
(Leviticus 5:11)

I love this about You, Jesus!

You set a high and holy standard
but You never set it beyond our ability to reach

so long as we look to You
for the help only You can give!

Pray this Lazaroo with a longing ache in your heart:

“All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders.”
(1 Chronicles 7:40)

Oh, do we ever need men and women like that today, Jesus!

People who will step up when they see a need
men and women who stand out – bristling with ability
brave leaders who take their calling to the next level.

But people like that are rare.

You’re the only one who can put those qualities in them.

Please do.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.”
(Daniel 2:30)

You gave Daniel the ability to interpret dreams, Jesus.

That could have gone to his head.

But it didn’t.

He gave all the glory to You.

Though I’m no dream interpreter
that’s exactly what I intend to do!
