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 in deepest gratitude:

“Then Solomon said, ‘The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud’…”
(2 Chronicles 6:1)

I guess that’s something You told Solomon, Jesus

because that statement appears nowhere else in the Bible.

But I’m so thankful to hear it –

through every hard, torturous, dark cloud day I’m called to endure.

You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

That means so much on my good days
but it means a thousand times more on the bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Bold and arrogant…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Bold is good, Jesus –

provided it’s accompanied by total dependence on You.

But when coupled with arrogance?

Bold is always bad –

sometimes immediately
sometimes later.

There are times when bold arrogance appears to work

but that’s only when there’s a long fuse

leading to the moment
when it blows up in their face.

Which is not to say timidity is the answer!

Why be timid

when humbly following You
enables me to be bold as a lion?

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…there is no end to their treasures.”
(Isaiah 2:7)

At least that’s how it seems, Jesus.

Some of the world’s worst people
seem to have more than their share of the best.

While some of the world’s best people
seem to experience more than their share of the worst.

But the operative word is:

“seems.”

What seems a certain way to me

is seldom – if ever – the case.

You alone know what’s really going on.

And I trust You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…what shall I tell them?”
(Exodus 3:13)

What a great question, Jesus!

Just because I told them something last time that seemed to work

doesn’t mean I should tell them the same thing this time
even if the situation appears to be identical.

You don’t want me to disconnect from You, thinking:

“I’ve got this.”

You want me to stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Because just when I’m certain I know what to say
I don’t.
