Pray this Lazaroo with absolute confidence:

“At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts. In those days the people of Judah will join the people of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
(Jeremiah 3:17-18)

No matter how unlikely that appears at this moment, Jesus

this will happen!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?”
(Job 8:8-10)

What refreshing, humble words of wisdom, Jesus!

May I never be counted among the proud
who regard older saints with disdain

as though modern times
make their counsel irrelevant!

Technology changes.
People don’t.

The hard-won experience of the aged

is priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo…without excuse:

“We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago…But because our ancestors angered the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.”
(Ezra 5:11-12)

They knew, Jesus!

and didn’t try to hide it.

So often, we pretend we’re innocent.

We complain – as though we don’t deserve
the bad things happening to us.

But I know better.

I confess!
Have mercy on me!

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Shallum…and his fellow gatekeepers…were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. In earlier times Phinehas…was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. Zechariah…was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:19-21)

You place a high priority on guarding the entrances to Your dwellings, Jesus!

May I do the same –

never allowing anyone or anything to enter my life
that would compromise my relationship with You!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?”
(1 Samuel 2:27, 29)

We think we’re getting away with it, Jesus

…but we’re not.

You see every underhanded thing we do.

Help me keep my hands on top of the table!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—to show mercy to our ancestors…”
(Luke 1:69-72)

Your salvation is awesome, Jesus!

But how does that show mercy to our ancestors?

It’s for those who are with You in heaven
looking down with great joy
mightily cheering us on!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Her mother-in-law asked her, ‘Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you! Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. ‘The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,’ she said. ‘The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:19-20)

Totally orchestrated by You, Jesus –

ancestors of Mary and Joseph…

and You!

Gotta love Grandpa Boaz and Grandma Ruth!

Let it sink in, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.”
(Judges 2:22)

That explains a whole lot, Jesus!

You sometimes bring – or allow –
difficult, even evil people to enter my life

to test me!

You’re teaching me to overcome the temptation
to cast aside my faith in You and do wrong.

It’s pretty hard to teach me that

if I never run into any opposition.

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, ‘Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.’”
(Judges 2:20-21)

That explains some things, Jesus –

about what happened to Israel
and what could happen to me.

May I keep Your covenant of love and listen to You!

so that You drive out every enemy
Satan sends against me.
