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 with awed admiration:

“Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’ And he says in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.’”
(Hebrews 5:5-6)

You could have done that for Yourself, Jesus!

You have all power and authority.

Instead, You chose to model for us the beautiful humility

that You desire to see in my daily life.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”
(Galatians 3:13-14)

Every time I think of this, I’m stunned, Jesus:

By faith in You

I receive the Holy Spirit
and the blessings promised to Abraham!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
(Galatians 3:13)

You loved us that much, Jesus!

You love me that much.

Me.

Totally unworthy, sin-plagued, mistake-ridden me.

Incomprehensible.

At my best, I’m barely tolerable.
At my worst, I’m unlovable.

I’m at my best so seldom.
I’m at my worst too often.

And still, You love me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…you will be utterly despised.”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Whew! That’s a tough one, Jesus!

But that was the punishment You meted out against Edom
the people descended from Jacob’s older brother.

Why?

Because of the calloused cruelty they exhibited
toward Your hurting, chosen people.

No matter how low one of Your flawed believers sinks

may I never pile on while You’re disciplining them

and risk becoming one of the “utterly despised.”

It’s not my place to add to their misery

lest some of their misery becomes mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!
