Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…if you continue in your faith…not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.”
(Colossians 1:23)

“I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.”

Powerful, Jesus.

When I pray for something that hasn’t happened.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

When I lose my job.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

When my doctor diagnoses me with an incurable illness.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…since you are going through the same struggle…”
(Philippians 1:30)

I’m not alone, am I, Jesus?

Not only are You with me every step

but there are countless others

battling the flesh and the devil
in the exact same ways I am.

They say, “Misery loves company.”

But that’s not why I love knowing
I’m not the only one.

It’s because when I see them winning their fight

it’s proof!

that You’re able to do the same for me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“May God deal with me, be it ever so severely…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Until You, Jesus

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived.

But that was one of the most foolish things he ever uttered.

I would never ask You to deal with me severely
if I didn’t follow through on something –
no matter how important.

I beg You to be far gentler with me than I deserve!

so I can keep trying

until I get it right.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Therefore, remember…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

Every day of my life You’re teaching me, Holy Spirit.

Every day of my life You’re guiding me, Father –

through the things that make life sweet
through the challenges that make life hard
through the daily grind that makes up most of life.

I don’t want You to have to repeat Yourself over and over again.

I want to squeeze every ounce of lesson
You pack into every moment of my life, Jesus

and never forget.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…turning neither to the right nor to the left…”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

That can be a wonderful trait, Jesus

when I’m headed in the right direction.

No detours. No distractions. No time outs.

Straight for the righteous goal.

But it’s a terrible quality when I’m rushing down the wrong path

stubbornly refusing to listen to anyone
who warns me of the danger.

God grant me the wisdom to know when to listen

and when to plug my ears.

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart filled with hope:

“…he was afraid…”
(Galatians 2:12)

I’d boast that I’m never afraid, Jesus

but I’m afraid that wouldn’t be true. 😉

What is true is…

I’m not afraid of some of the things that scare other people.

I know You’ve got my back

and my front
and my sides
and my top
and my…underneath carriage. 😉

But there’s one thing I am afraid of:

Disappointing You.

You’ve done so much for me!

All I want to bring You is joy.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

Well, that settles it, Jesus:

I’m never going to oppose You.

Just kidding. I didn’t plan to anyway. But here’s my question:

If it’s such a no-brainer to me
why isn’t it a no-brainer to everyone?

By Your own count, most of the people of the world oppose You.

You! Their Creator!

A frightening number of them don’t even acknowledge You exist!

Some serious shattering
is on its way.

Thirst for God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…get a drink from the water jars…”
(Ruth 2:9)

There are a lot of places to get a drink, Jesus.

One would be from a water jar.

But I could also get a drink from

a well
a water fountain
a bottle
a bubbling brook
a juice bar
a soft drink can or bottle
a coffee or tea cup
a canteen.

But the best place to take a long, refreshing drink

is from the Living Water of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“…a wisdom that has been hidden…”
(1 Corinthians 2:7)

Please forgive me, Jesus, but I have to ask –

Why would you hide Your wisdom from me?
I need it so desperately!

It’s about timing, isn’t it?

You’ve said there’s a time for everything.
“Everything” would include wisdom. 😉

But it’s also about my growth, isn’t it?

You could just dump all Your wisdom on me at once.

But how much better for me to learn it

step

by

step.
