Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking: ‘Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.’ I have taken off my robe—must I put it on again? I have washed my feet—must I soil them again?”
(Song of Songs 5:2-3)

Yes, Jesus

She must.

That’s the price of love.

It’s no longer what I want.
It’s what they want.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

[The man:] “’You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.’ [The woman:] ‘Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.’”
(Song of Songs 4:15-16)

The man praises her, Jesus…

the woman responds in kind.

Give me Your words to brighten someone’s day!

And when they brighten mine
help me respond in kind.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“‘I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:10)

When these things happen to us, Jesus

we think You’ve abandoned us.

But no! You haven’t!

You’re shaking us awake
getting our attention

inciting us to return to You
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Will they not wake up…?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Your prophet is not talking about nice people, Jesus.

They’re the kind I’d rather see stay fast asleep.
I’m not too crazy about my enemies being sharp and alert.

You’re the only one who can keep them snoozing, Father –

or if they happen to be awake and on the prowl
You’re the only on who can put them to sleep.

On the other hand…

please help me keep my eyes wide open.
