Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“As you summon to a feast day, so you summoned against me terrors on every side. In the day of the Lord’s anger no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and reared my enemy has destroyed.”
(Lamentations 2:22)

We make a lethal mistake, don’t we, Jesus?

When we sin and nothing happens
we think nothing will happen.

We fail to realize You’re giving us time to repent.

But if we don’t

on a day seemingly like any other
suddenly the day of Your anger will arrive.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land.”
(Zephaniah 2:8)

That’s all I need to know, Jesus.

When somebody targets me, I’m not alone.
You know the ins and outs of their insidious plans.

I’m not the best of Your people.

Not by a long shot.

But I belong to You – with every fiber of my being.

That means You take their actions against me Personally.

That being the case
I like my chances.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
(Nahum 2:13)

Could there be any more chilling words, Jesus?

In this or any language.

First of all, I can’t make it without You.

Try though I might, I’m not enough.

But if You would also be against me?

Then I’d be doomed.
No one can successfully stand against You.

However…

You’re not against me!

I’ve completely, wholeheartedly, irrevocably
given myself to You.

I’m Yours.
Your mine.

HALLELUJAH!

You’re for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with every ounce of your being:

“Then I said, ‘Put a clean turban on his head.’ So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.”
(Zechariah 3:5)

That’s what I need, Jesus.

Please. I beg You:
Put a clean turban on my head.

Erase from me every sinful thought.

Purify every brain wave of my mind .

Work the miracle necessary

to help me forgive from my heart
those who have sinned against me.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…about the plot…”
(Esther 2:22)

There’s always a plot, isn’t there, Jesus?

And no, I’m not being paranoid.

Satan is constantly scheming against Your people!

But greater are You in us
than the evil one lurking in this world!

Fulfill Your Word in our behalf, Father!
May no weapon forged against us prevail.

Open our eyes. Help us see the traps set for us a mile away.

And cause those evil plots we know nothing about

to utterly fail.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I will surely raise my hand against them…”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Don’t want to ever hear that, Jesus!

Not as it pertains to me.

I need Your hand to

save me
comfort me
sustain me
strengthen me
guide me
protect me
show me
cover me
lift me
help me.

But dear God!

May Your hand never be raised against me.

Against my enemies, though?

Tempting.
But You’ve told me to pray for them.

Nah. Don’t.
Go ahead and bless them.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…your soul is getting along well.”
(3 John 1:2)

If only that were true, Jesus!

Oh, I’m not registering a complaint against You

My complaint
is against me.

You’ve been better than good to me.
You’ve never treated me as my sins deserve.
You’ve given me opportunities beyond counting

so why have I done so little with it?

While You and I do enjoy one another, I know this:

In Your strength
I’ve got to step up my game.
