Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…”
(1 Peter 2:9)

It’s awesome to hear this, Jesus!

But it’s also hard to hear.

I don’t feel worthy.
Why would You choose the likes of me?

I don’t feel like royalty.
When I look in the mirror, I see a commoner.

Who am I to function as a priest?
I’ve got my hands full with my sinning self.

But praise Your holy Name!

I don’t have to feel it
for it to be 100% true.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:14)

Well, it’s working, Jesus.

I fear You!

Not because I think You don’t love me.

I know You do.

It’s just that You Are so Awesome! So Powerful!

You’re Bigger than big, Wiser than wise.

I love that You and I are close – 1on1.

But Your attributes are so mind-boggling
that I can’t help but tremble in Your Presence.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

This is how You punished Your disobedient nation, Jesus!

Wow.

You could have scorched the land, making it utterly useless for anything.

But You didn’t.
Instead, in the midst of Your disciplining anger

You turned the land they had defiled
into a blessing.

You’ve done that time and again for me!

Even while You’re correcting me
You’re blessing me in ways I would have never expected.

O God!
You Are Awesome!

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star.”
(Revelation 2:26-28)

Your authority? The morning star?

These rewards are unimaginably awesome, Jesus!

Please rise up in power within me!

Help me finish strong!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—to show mercy to our ancestors…”
(Luke 1:69-72)

Your salvation is awesome, Jesus!

But how does that show mercy to our ancestors?

It’s for those who are with You in heaven
looking down with great joy
mightily cheering us on!

Happy New Year! Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We have heard a message from the Lord…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Oh, we’ve heard Your message, Jesus

and that’s good.

But the question is:

What have we done with what we’ve heard?

We are without excuse:

The evidence about Your Majesty and Power is everywhere.

Just like seeing the awesome things You do

hearing Your Word

should be believing.

But the majority of people ignore what they see and hear

and listen instead to Satan’s lies.

Not me, this year, LORD!

Not me.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”
(1 Corinthians 2:15-16)

This is nothing short of mind-boggling, Jesus!

Truly awesome.

Because I have put my trust in You

You live in me in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

You allow me to share some of Your thoughts!

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
(Mark 2:9-10)

It wasn’t really about healing paralysis, was it, Jesus?

True, that’s incredibly impressive and compassionate.
It meant the world to that man.

But it was only a temporary fix.

What’s awesome

is Your forgiveness of sins.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.”
(Daniel 2:31-33)

You told Daniel exactly what King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream, Jesus!

And no wonder.
You’re the one who gave the dream –

not for him alone
but also for us.

Cherish it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s the beauty of it, Jesus.

You’re not sequestering Yourself in heaven
away from all the riff-raff, distant and aloof.

You created me.
You know me intimately.
You care about me and every aspect of my life.

You live in me in the Person of the Holy Spirit!

You’ll never leave me nor forsake me.

It is my unspeakably awesome privilege

to enjoy deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.
