Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Samuel…was afraid to tell Eli the vision, but Eli called him and said, ‘Samuel, my son.’ Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’ ‘What was it he said to you?’ Eli asked. ‘Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.’”
(1 Samuel 3:15-17)

CHRIST IS RISEN!

May I never be afraid to tell it, Jesus.

May I never hide from anyone
this stunning truth about You!

May the whole world know

what Easter is always and forever about!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…the anointing you received from him remains in you…”
(1 John 2:27)

That is so comforting, Jesus!

so good to know.

When I sin – which I sadly confess is way too often –

Satan tries to make me afraid that I’ve lost what I had with You.

That’s a terrifying thought.

But it’s not true!

You’ve promised to never leave me nor forsake me.

And though I’ve let You down countless times

I will never turn my back on You.

Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo in rock-solid faith:

“Og king of Bashan with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei. The Lord said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.’”
(Deuteronomy 3:1-2)

When You tell me not to be afraid of someone, Jesus

that settles it.

I don’t have to be afraid.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken. All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.”
(Micah 4:4-5)

Hasten the day, Jesus!

I believe You.
I know in my heart this day will come.

So I’ll do my part to bring it about:

I will walk in Your Name, LORD God
for ever and ever!

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’”
(Luke 2:8-10)

Sometimes when You show up I’m afraid, Jesus

because I mistake what You’re doing for something bad.

But it isn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!
