Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt adoration:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
(1 Peter 2:2-3)

Yes, I have, Jesus.

I have tasted.

You are indeed good!

But I haven’t stopped with a taste.

I’ve returned again and again to Your well that never runs dry.

I’ve tipped up the vessel of Your Word and drunk deeply.

You have filled my heart, soul, mind and spirit

to overflowing!

Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo with a teachable heart:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Some people make fun of spiritual milk, Jesus

but You don’t.

Those same people claim they’re ready for meat

when in fact, their dismissal of spiritual milk
may indicate they’re not yet ready to be weaned.

I want to grow up, LORD!

I long to become mature and complete in You.

Is it possible…

that I’ll never outgrow my need for milk?

As you pray this Lazaroo…remember!

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Do I remember when I was like that, Jesus –

right after I first gave myself to You?

I certainly craved pure spiritual milk then!

I attended Bible studies, never missed a church service.
If there was something You wanted me to do, I did it!

What do I crave now?

Restore to me the heart of a newborn, Father!

not with immaturity

but in passionate desire for You and Your Word.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I rejoice in what was suffered for you…”
(Colossians 1:24)

After their babies are born,

mothers feel that, Jesus.

When they’re overwhelmed with love for their newborn

they affirm that the agony of giving birth
was all worthwhile.

Many of them do it again….and again…and again.

By faith, may I say the same about the suffering You’ve allowed in my life, Father!

When I see what You’ve done with it, may I rejoice!

because the agony was all worthwhile.

Take a clear-eyed look, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…children who do not yet know good from bad…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

Those have to be some pretty young kids, Jesus

because most little ones catch on awfully quick.

Oh, they may not understand why something is good or bad

but even as babies they can immediately tell
when their mothers and fathers are pleased or displeased.

You’ve made it clear:

A child’s character is revealed
by what they do.

So is mine.
God help me, so is mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“…why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?”
(Job 3:16)

Good question, Jesus.

I’m no better than any of those babies who never got to see the light of day.

Perhaps countless numbers of them
would have been better people
accomplished far more than I.

But until I sacrifice to halt this holocaust of abortion

I’m inexcusably squandering Your precious gift of my life.
