Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“I asked the angel, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand…these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?’ He replied, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ ‘No, my lord,’ I said. So he said, ‘These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.’”
(Zechariah 4:11-14)

Like Zechariah, Jesus

there’s so much I don’t understand.

But I trust You!

No matter what.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.”
(Luke 2:19-21)

Help me treasure up everything You’re doing in my life, Jesus

and ponder them in my heart

to discern Your perfect will for my life!

Monday, September 4, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’…the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’”
(Luke 2:13-15)

Oh, to have been there in that stunning moment, Jesus –

when the heavens opened!

But the Day is coming

when You will show me far more than that.

Friday, June 16, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’”
(Luke 2:8-10)

Sometimes when You show up I’m afraid, Jesus

because I mistake what You’re doing for something bad.

But it isn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with undisguised yearning:

“I asked the angel who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’ He answered, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ ‘No, my lord,’ I replied.”
(Zechariah 4:4-5)

There are a lot of things I don’t understand, Jesus!

That doesn’t mean I don’t trust You.

I do.

I also acknowledge there are some things

I won’t have the capacity to grasp
until I get to heaven.

Even so…

if You could help me understand a little better

I sure would appreciate it.

Pray this Lazaroo in dumfounded awe:

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.”
(Zechariah 4:1)

Up to now, Jesus, the angel had been speaking to Zechariah at night, in a vision.

But no longer.

As if to underscore the reality of all You sent him to tell the prophet

the angel he had seen in his vision
woke him up…

and there he was!
visible to the naked eye
in the same room with Zechariah.

Wow.

You can do anything, LORD.

Absolutely anything.

In faith and trust, deal with it – as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
(Revelation 3:7)

We don’t respond very well to that initially, Jesus.

We like to appeal decisions we don’t like.
We like to feel we have some measure of control.

But we don’t.

You do hear every prayer I pray according to Your will!

But when I ask for something not best
may I truly be grateful

that Your answer is no.

(Zechariah 3:6-7)

You love doing this for us, Jesus –

giving us huge incentive to honor You.

Cause Your holy passion to rise within my soul

to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, ‘Take off his filthy clothes.’ Then he said to Joshua, ‘See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.’”
(Zechariah 3:4-5)

Is that how I look to you when I sin, Jesus?

As though I’m dressed in filthy clothes?

Wow.
I didn’t know.

I repent, LORD!

Clothe me in Your righteousness!
