Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Lack of fear can be a good thing, Jesus…

but not in this case.

Fear of doing wrong, knowing full well You’re watching

is the beginning of wisdom.

Most of us don’t have that fear nearly enough.

For some, it’s a lack of belief.

But for others of us
it’s knowing how much You love us!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…David sent messengers…demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal’…So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel…Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back.”
(2 Samuel 3:14-16)

Paltiel knew King Saul gave him Michal to spite David, Jesus.

Did he surrender her to do what was right

or because he was afraid of Abner?

May no one have to threaten me, Father!

to make me do what’s right.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him. Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David…Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you.’”
(2 Samuel 3:11-13)

Ish-Bosheth had good reason to be afraid of his general, Jesus…

because Abner was about to betray him.

Who among those I trust is about to betray me?

You know.
I’d like to know, too.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”
(Micah 3:8)

It’s possible, Jesus!

That while all around me are weak, timid and afraid
You would choose to make me bold and strong.

That was true of Your prophet Micah

because He was obeying You
with every fiber of his being.

Weak or strong, bold or timid
may I do the same.

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

“…you see something dreadful and are afraid. Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth, deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’? Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.’”
(Job 6:21-24)

Job had no clue that You were proving his greatness to Satan, Jesus.

Help me trust You, LORD!

even when to me
what’s happening makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
(Proverbs 3:24-26)

Such is your promise to those who drink deeply of Your wisdom, Jesus

who seek to know and understand You and Your Word

with the full passion of their inmost being.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple awareness:

“I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
(Genesis 3:10)

The thing is, Jesus

I’m always naked before You.

You know my every thought
see my every action
hear my every word.

You know what I’m going to think, say and do

before I do it.

That day in the garden Adam and Eve hid in vain.

There’s no hiding from You!

My goal?

Think, speak and act with such purity

that I have nothing to hide.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast hope:

“…the God of Abraham…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Abraham had flaws, Jesus.

He argued with You.

He was so afraid You wouldn’t protect him

that He told everyone his beautiful wife was his sister
and allowed her to be taken by another man to be his wife.

Twice.

But You chose him anyway

to be the founding father of Your great nation of Israel.

Like Abraham, I too am flawed, Father!

But You’ve chosen me anyway.
Use me for Your glory!

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

“…he was afraid to go there.”
(Matthew 2:22)

You haven’t given me a spirit of fear, Jesus –

but a spirit of power, love, self-discipline.

There’s no place You send me

that I need fear.

But there are places You forbid me to go.

I’d blessed well better be scared to go there!

How can I expect You to protect me

when I blatantly disobey?

Lead me in Your way everlasting, Father!

And keep my britches
out of the ditches.

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart filled with hope:

“…he was afraid…”
(Galatians 2:12)

I’d boast that I’m never afraid, Jesus

but I’m afraid that wouldn’t be true. 😉

What is true is…

I’m not afraid of some of the things that scare other people.

I know You’ve got my back

and my front
and my sides
and my top
and my…underneath carriage. 😉

But there’s one thing I am afraid of:

Disappointing You.

You’ve done so much for me!

All I want to bring You is joy.
