Pray this Lazaroo with riveted attention:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”
(Proverbs 4:23-24)

When You tell me, “Above all else,” Jesus

that’s something I dare not ignore.

You’re telling me to love what You love

and nothing else.

Only then will my mouth be free of perversity

my lips from corrupt talk.

And since I have to guard my heart

that tells me Satan is attempting to steal it.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called…‘Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.’”
(Ezekiel 9:3-4)

Place that mark on my forehead, Jesus!

I’m brokenhearted about what is happening in my country
and around the world.

Because I’m faithful to Your Word

may many others receive that mark.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.”
(Micah 4:1)

Are these the last days, Jesus?

Because what You predicted
what many once thought to be unthinkable

is happening.

People are indeed streaming to the mountain of Your temple!

By the millions they’re coming from the four corners of the earth
to walk that sacred ground in full awareness

that You have exalted it above the hills.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.”
(1 Timothy 3:2-3)

Those are a lot of requirements, Jesus.

No wonder some people see them
and back away from pursuing this holy office.

But these are the bare minimums!

Isn’t this the holy life to which You’ve called
absolutely every one of us?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen, royal house! This judgment is against you: You have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. The rebels are knee-deep in slaughter. I will discipline all of them.”
(Hosea 5:1-2)

What we think is hidden, Jesus

isn’t.

What we think we do in secret

is fully known by You.

So when we hide things and do them in secret

may they only be good and not evil

to be showered with blessings from above!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“…the overseer is to be above reproach…”
(1 Timothy 3:2)

You’ve set the overseer bar awfully high, Jesus

and for good reason.

If the overseer stumbles or falls, it’s a domino effect:

A whole lot of people can get hurt.

That’s why Satan relentlessly and ferociously attacks the overseer –

along with their family, friends and ministries, isn’t it?

To be above reproach
doesn’t mean to be above attack.

During the time You walked this earth

constant attack

is exactly what Satan did to You.
