Open yourself to His glory, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…until…the morning star rises in your hearts.”
(2 Peter 1:19)

Some people think the morning star is Venus or Mercury, Jesus.

Some think it’s Sirius – apart from the sun
the brightest star in earth’s sky.

In Greek mythology it’s Phosphorus.
In Slavic mythology it’s one of their Zorya.
It’s At-Tariq in the Qur’an.

Before his fall, Satan was known as a morning star

but not the morning star.

There is only one truly bright and morning star, Jesus!

You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That is so, so, so like You, Jesus!

A lot of us don’t much care for vines.

They wrap around trees and other desirables

choking the life out of our preferred plants
unless we keep the vines chopped out.

So what do You do?

You give the vines flowers.

To top it off

You give the flowers fragrance

reminding me that even the things I hate

come from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful awe:

“He was chosen before the creation of the world…”
(1 Peter 1:20)

Yes, You were, Jesus

because it was by You and for You that the world was created.

In fact, You and I have that in common –

not the “creating the world” part –
but the “chosen before the creation of the world” part.

You chose me

then created a world in which I could live

and love
and learn
and thrive

and grow to be more like You.

Pray this Lazaroo with Scripture-infused emotion:

“Then I thought in my heart…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Thinking in my heart goes deeper

than thinking in my mind, doesn’t it, Jesus?

The thoughts that arise deep within my heart

often get there through painful means.

They’re lessons hard-learned
battles hard-won…

…and lost.

The thoughts in my heart are the real me, aren’t they, Holy Spirit?

May all the words of my mouth and meditations of my heart
be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Take stock, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
(James 1:27)

Well that clears up a few things, Jesus!

Our list of religious behaviors is longer.

Perhaps because it’s easier to help widows and orphans

than to keep myself unpolluted by the world.

Am I adding to the list

in an attempt to mask my worldly pollution?

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…her paths [lead] to the spirts of the dead.”
(Proverbs 2:18)

You’re speaking of those who commit adultery, Jesus

who betray their marriage partners
in affairs and one night stands.

That choice leads to death of so many kinds, doesn’t it?

Death of trust, hopes, dreams
stability, innocence.

But having said that

I cannot begin to thank You enough
for the new life of Your mercy.

Even for the worst of us

You’re the God of the Second Chance.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.”
(Hebrews 2:16)

I don’t know how crazy the angels are about that statement, Jesus

but the Jews have to like it a lot

those who truly are Abraham’s descendants, that is –

not those who are merely his biologically
but those who live by the faith of Abraham

who took You at Your Word
no matter what the cost.

On that basis

please consider me a descendant of Abraham.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awareness:

“Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness…”
(Psalms 5:8)

O Jesus!

May this be the prayer President Donald Trump prays

over and over again
throughout every day.

His successes or failures impact the world.

But may I never forget:

So do mine, LORD.

Oh, not in the same way as a U.S. President

but with far-reaching impact nevertheless

the ripple effects of my words and actions touching more lives

directly and indirectly

than I can begin to imagine.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If he…owes you anything…”
(Philemon 1:18)

Of course he owes him something, Jesus.

We all do.

Every person who lives with, works with, or interacts with another

owes them a big debt.

Sometimes it’s money.

But far more often it’s thanks

either for something they’ve done for me
or something they’ve done to me.

I owe my friends for their favors.
I owe my enemies for the lessons they’ve taught

some of which I will never, ever, ever forget.
