Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.”
(1 Peter 2:13-14)

It’s a spiritual crime, Jesus

to disobey those You’ve placed over me.

That’s a game-changer!

I will do my best to obey those in authority

who are obeying You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.”
(Malachi 3:1)

All those years, decades, centuries and millennia of waiting, Jesus

and then suddenly!
it happened.

May I never become impatient with Your timing.

I know.

Easier prayer to pray
than in faith to obey.

But this I also know:

You always do what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with full confidence in God:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:17-18)

I know You can do it, Jesus.

I just don’t know if You will do it!

But this much I know:

You’ll do what’s best.

And I’ll trust You no matter which.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, ‘Ask for whatever you want me to give you.’ Solomon answered…‘I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties…So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.’”
(1 Kings 3:5,7,9)

Good answer, Solomon.

That truly pleased You, Jesus.

How many people would have asked for wealth, long life – even revenge?

Give me, LORD…

only what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”
(Proverbs 4:13-15)

As instructions go, Jesus

this is one of the best:

protecting me from horrific consequences
on earth…and eternally.

Help me hold on to this instruction and never let it go!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything…”
(Titus 2:9)

This isn’t a pro-slavery command, Jesus

it’s a pro-obedience command.

The law required slaves to obey their masters.

You were telling them to obey the law.

Yes, you told slaves to obtain their freedom when possible

but while they remained slaves
You wanted the slaves who bore Your Name
to be the best slaves possible

in order to win their masters and everyone else
to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ‘All this I will give you,’ he said, ‘if you will bow down and worship me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’”
(Matthew 4:8-10)

Satan threw his best at You, Jesus

and every time You answered with Scripture.

What an example You’ve set for me:

For every Satanic attack
Your Word is the answer.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good…so that those who oppose you may be ashamed…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

So that‘s what does it, Jesus?

Just living the life You’ve called me to live
leaving my reputation to You?

I can do that.

Correction: With Your help, I can do that.

My tendency is to try to fix what others think of me.
But every time I try, I only end up looking worse.

Best leave that to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

The young lions are the future, Jesus.

If You punish a nation by destroying the best of their youth
You doom that country to become increasingly weak

eventually to disappear

which is exactly what happened in 637

to the once great city of Nineveh.

O God!

I beg You: Spare our young lions!
