Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“For in Scripture it says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.’”
(1 Peter 2:6)

You’ve made that promise directly to me, Jesus.

Hallelujah!

I will never be put to shame
because I trust in You!

You’re my Only Hope
because You’re all I need.

On You, my Solid Rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…allotted ten towns…”
(1 Chronicles 6:61)

Why were Kohath’s descendants allotted those ten towns, Jesus?

Because that’s how many they needed.

That perfectly explains why You’ve allotted all my possessions to me.

I sometimes ask for more
and sometimes You give it.

But when You don’t give me more

it’s because I don’t need it.

In fact, sometimes You give me more

to let me discover for myself
that sometimes what I think I want

is too much.

Stuff to check as you pray this Lazaroo:

“’What!’ exclaimed the king of Israel. ‘Has the Lord called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?’”
(2 Kings 3:10)

They had been marching through the desert for a week, Jesus. Now they were out of water.

Faced with this terrifying development
the King of Israel blames You.

Help me go to school:

1. Make sure I get my marching orders from You.

2. If I have, trust You to supply everything I need.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The spears of pine are brandished.”
(Nahum 2:3)

Aren’t spears supposed to be made of metal, Jesus?

It would be scary to go into battle with a pine spear
against an army of people carrying iron spears.

Still…with Your help, blessing and protection

a pine spear is all I need.

Help me to trust You to provide victory

through the weapons, tools, materials
education, location, people

You’ve given me.

Not by might, not by power…

but by Your Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…except for a short rest in the shelter.”
(Ruth 2:7)

I can’t work all the time, Jesus.

That’s not how You created me.

You made me in Your image

and You took a one-day-out-of-seven rest.

It’s instructive to note that Ruth took a short rest.

That’s all she – or I – need.

But it’s also important to remember

that she took advantage of a shelter
out from under the heat of the sun.

O God!

Will You be my Shelter?

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘Come,’ he replied, ‘and you will see.’”
(John 1:39)

You provide me with all the evidence I need to follow You, Jesus

before I take a single step.

But when I wait too long

when I keep demanding more and more proof
before I’m willing to move

that’s not caution.

It’s unbelief.

There’s a point at which I have to take action, move out in faith.

Only then will You show me
infinitely more than I could have imagined.

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

“Here am I…”
(Hebrews 2:13)

…and that’s all I need, Jesus:

You.

To know You’re here – right here with me

is all I have to know.

If I have You and nothing else I’ve got it all.

If I have everything but You
I”ve got nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

nothing at all.

If I have You and no one else I’ve got it all

If I have everyone but You
I’ve got no one! No one! No one!

no one at all.
