Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish. Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence. Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.”
(Psalm 9:18-20)

All too often, Jesus

the powerful trample on the needy.

But You see what they’re doing.

Everyone You’ve created is precious to You –
especially the poor, the hurting, the downtrodden.

It is You who are their Defender

who will take up their case.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted. Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death…”
(Psalm 9:11-13)

I’ve got to know this, Jesus!

When I see the atrocities being committed, it breaks my heart!

Thank You for letting me know You will intervene for them

and me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.”
(Judges 2:18)

What would we do without Your compassion, Jesus?

There’s so much evil in the world!

If I didn’t know You see and care and understand

I don’t know what I would do.
But it wouldn’t be good.

That may explain why some people do the things they do.

They don’t know You’re watching, caring, loving
and will intervene in Your perfect way and time.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD…humbles and he exalts.”
(1 Samuel 2:7)

Some people think you only exalt, Jesus.

The experience of others leads them to believe
all You do is humble

at least when it comes to them.

But there’s a lot more to You than any of us can grasp.

Just when we think we’ve got You figured out
we learn we don’t

sometimes the hard way
sometimes not.

I prefer to be exalted, LORD!

but that usually comes
after I’m humbled.
