Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands. ‘You Cushites, too, will be slain by my sword.’”
(Zephaniah 2:11-12)

No matter who You use to punish the wicked, Jesus

the sword is Yours.

You’ve given us free will

but somehow, in Your brilliance,
we all end up doing exactly
what You want us to do.

No one can thwart Your Plan of the Ages

nor Your Plan of this Moment.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
(Proverbs 4:25-27)

What an awesome plan for life, Jesus!

If I keep my eyes fixed on You
if I plant my feet solely on the paths of Your Word

no one will be able to stop me

from becoming everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful love:

“…we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:14-15)

Wow, Jesus.

What an awesome incentive to share my faith!

The more people who trust You as Savior
the more we will praise and thank You!

You deserve all the glory…

and so much more.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble recognition:

“This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty. The LORDwill be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.”
(Zephaniah 2:10-11)

May You never be awesome to me for that reason, Jesus!

But I will rejoice with You
when You destroy all the gods of the earth.

including the idols
I battle in my own life.

Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.”
(3 John 1:11)

Okay, Jesus.

I’m absolutely done with evil!

Show me the good You want me to imitate.

There are the awesome examples in Your Word.
The Bible’s chock full of them!

Then there are the Godly people walking this earth.
May I be inspired by those You’ve placed in my life!

It would be pretty cool

if one day I could be that kind of example to others.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.”
(Joshua 4:9)

What an awesome reminder of that miracle, Jesus!

We need reminders.

Because too often
we forget.

That usually happens

when we ask You for something that isn’t best
and don’t get it.

Maybe I need to set up some physical reminders

of the things You’ve done for me!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.”
(Amos 4:13)

You Are Awesome, Jesus!

To think that You, the Creator of Everything
want to spend 1on1 time with me

sharing Your thoughts
transforming my life
giving me hope and a future.

Great and Mighty One!

You’re my Best Friend.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted adoration:

“…to the church that meets in your home…”
(Philemon 1:2)

That’s how it started, isn’t it, Jesus?

In addition to gathering in the temple courts

small groups of Your people
met together in one another’s homes.

There they ate together
studied Your Word together
prayed together.

Certainly, we have awesome electronic tools at our disposal

to facilitate those two ways of meeting as Your Church.

But can we possibly improve on that simple plan today?

No.
We can’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with redeemed perspective:

“Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”
(Song of Songs 4:5-7)

Actually, she did have flaws, Jesus.

I don’t know what they were
but every person has them.

Solomon, however, saw her as flawless –

perfect…because that was how You created her.

Awesome Father:

Help me see everyone through Your eyes!
