Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“The Lord their God…will restore their fortunes.”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

When things were going well for me, Jesus, I loved it.

I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I discovered:

It wasn’t.

My sins caused some of it – maybe all of it.

But it might have simply been
that You needed me to fight some of Your battles.

If my suffering is caused by sin, I’ve got to repent!

Either way, I long to live once more

under the spout
where Your glory comes out!

Pray this Lazaroo in eye-opened understanding:

These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)…”
(Judges 3:1-2)

That answers a ton of questions, Jesus!

I want all my problems to go away.

You, however, want me to become a seasoned warrior.

In my preferred problem-free world

that’s not likely to happen.

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into…a land flowing with milk and honey.”
(Exodus 3:17)

You kept Your promise, Jesus!

You always do.

Of course, there were a lot of tests, trials and battles

between the time Your people left and the time they arrived – 

as there almost always is.

Because of their repeated disobedience

many of them didn’t get to experience that milk and honey.

Help me learn from their mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s men.”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

You determine the outcome of every battle, Jesus!

The size of each army doesn’t matter.

The one You declare the victor

is the one who will win.

Not some of the time.
Not most of the time.
Every time.

How many more battles will I face, Father?

It doesn’t matter, does it?

So long as I faithfully, passionately follow You

I’ll prevail in every one.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The battle that day was very fierce…”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

I’ve been in some fierce battles myself, Jesus –

though not, I’m sure, of the same kind
as the armies of Joab and Abner.

Still, my battles were a big deal to me.

But even more importantly
I know they were a big deal to You, as well

because You love me.

I can’t tell You how much that means to me, LORD!

Thank You for Your amazing heart
for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them…”
(Judges 2:15)

I can’t imagine a worse position, Jesus!

It’s hard enough to win – under any circumstance.

But to enter a battle knowing You’re against me?

Utterly useless. Fruitless. Worthless.
The very definition of pointless.

The only battles I want to fight are for You, in You

not against You.

Please, LORD!

Show me what I have to do to get on Your side
and never leave it.
