Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Since that’s what You’re looking for, Jesus

that’s who I long to be.

There’s only one problem:

I’ve got a long way to go.

Make that a long, long, long way to go.

But no matter how many times I fall short, landing on my face in disgrace

I’m going to keep trying…and trying…and trying…

leaning on You, Holy Spirit
all the way

until my faith
becomes sight.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…make my joy complete…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Paul was telling the people in the church at Philippi what else he wanted them to do, Jesus.

They had already pleased him in a few things
but the transformation into Your likeness still wasn’t done.

Can I ever identify!

I’m making progress in a few areas.
When I look a little more like You, I’m thrilled!

So is everybody around me. 😉

Please help me go all the way!

…to make Your joy complete.

Pray this Lazaroo with never-say-die grit:

“If we endure…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

That’s one big “if,” isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s one thing to start strong.
I’ve done that plenty of times.

But it’s another thing entirely to keep going through the slog of the middle

all the way to the finish line.

The initial burst of excitement wanes.
There’s pushback…there are setbacks.
My run slows to a walk…a trudge…a crawl.

I’ve started far more times than I’ve finished.

But by Your grace
not this time.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck.”
(Proverbs 3:3)

Many of Your people have taken this command literally, Jesus.

They’ve made necklaces and choke chains of these words
and worn them day after day.

That’s a good thing!

It’s a reminder of what matters.
It sure beats the jewelry a lot of people wear.

But I suspect You intend that command to extend beyond wearable Scripture

all the way to my actions.

Today.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“After a roundabout march of seven days…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

I’ve been on a few of those roundabout journeys, Jesus!

At least, that’s what they felt like at the time:

a total waste.

But is that what they were?

No. Even when I didn’t know what I was doing

You did.

You’ve made me a promise:

That if I will seek You with my whole heart
and faithfully follow You all the way

You will guide my steps.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will be saved…”
(Philippians 1:28)

Are there any sweeter words, Jesus?

“I love you” is good…
but people have their own definition of love

which may not be Yours.

Of course, it depends on who is telling me I’m saved.

If it’s a mere mortal, I might have doubts.
After all, I know how flawed I am.

But when You tell me I’m saved

I know I can take that all the way
to the Bank of Heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…Jesus saw them following…”
(John 1:38)

That’s what I long for You to see, Jesus…

me following You

wholeheartedly – never reluctantly
closely – not from a distance.
consistently – not off and on
accurately – not haphazardly
passionately – not casually

all the way – without giving up.

It’s what I want others to see, too

so they’ll follow You.

But when they can’t see You clearly enough

may I follow You so faithfully

that they may safely follow me

as I follow You.
