Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
(2 Timothy 2:22)

How do I overcome all the temptations Satan strews along my path, Jesus?

By single-mindedly focusing on all the opportunities You provide
to become everything You’ve created me to be

while making sure I surround myself
with like-minded men and women
who call on You out of a pure heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!’”
(Nehemiah 4:18-21)

 

Nehemiah knew what to let go of, Jesus

and what to keep close.

The trumpeter was key!

With so much at stake

No way was Nehemiah going to send him
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.”
(Joshua 5:1)

Do that to all who oppose Your holy people, Jesus!

Do that in behalf of all Your people who are less than holy

but keep trying

and trying

and won’t quit

till we make it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 4:10-12)

These were Your words through King David to his son, the future King Solomon.

But they’re also Your words to me, Jesus.

You call me to walk in the way of wisdom

to make these promises come true in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!
