Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
(John 1:47)

When I approach You, Jesus

Is that what You see?
No deceit?

Oh, how I long for that to be true of me!

But it’s hard.
I so want people to like me.

Dare I let them know how flawed I am?

Ha! Who am I kidding?

Not only You – but they –

have a pretty good idea.

Pray this Lazaroo with fervent spirit:

“Before them the earth shakes…”
(Joel 2:10)

Pretty scary, Jesus.

When the sound of my approaching enemies shakes the earth

it makes me want to run –

until I remember:

You Are my Stronghold!

My enemies can shake the earth a little

but You can shake it a lot.

When by faith I stubbornly refuse to tremble before my attackers

You see and approve.

You know I’m overruling my natural instincts
because I believe You Are Greater!

and I’ll prevail.
