Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless obedience:

“Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet…prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel…Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.”
(Ezra 5:1-2)

That’s what’s supposed to happen when Your Word goes forth, Jesus!

You expect those of us who hear Your command
to get to work.

Get motivated! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Through us, You’re establishing Your kingdom, Jesus

and You don’t want us dragging our feet.

You want us on high alert.
Time’s a-wasting!

People are dying without hearing about You!
Others are on the fence, for lack of good information.

It’s my job to do something about that.

You’ve told me to go tell.
I’d better get with it.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.”
(2 Chronicles 5:7-8)

This was the last time most of them would ever see the ark, Jesus.

But because of what You did on the cross
I’m meeting with You in the Most Holy Place right now!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

It’s hard to watch one of our leaders go through a dark, difficult time, Jesus.

It’s even harder when I’m going through an agonizing time myself!

At such times, Satan may suggest to me that following You isn’t worth it.

But he’s a liar.

The only trials You permit Your people to endure

are those that will accomplish in us Your highest purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“Of the priests:…Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God…”
(1 Chronicles 9:10-11)

What a high and holy calling, Jesus!

Of course, we can meet with You anywhere
because You’re everywhere!

But those places You have set apart for regular worship

have become sacred – to You and to us.

May I always do my part

to lovingly care for our place of worship.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit…”
(Colossians 2:5)

A lot of people use this verse to justify why they didn’t show up, Jesus.

They say “I can’t come, but I’ll be with you in spirit.”
Then they promptly put those people out of their minds.

But not Paul.

He truly connected with those he couldn’t be with.
He cared for them, prayed for them, identified with them.

Heavenly Father!
May I do the same.

Go and do likewise, after you pray this Lazaroo!

“One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Call the Shunammite.’ So he called her, and she stood before him. Elisha said to him, ‘Tell her, “You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you?”’”
(2 Kings 4:11-13)

I love that Elisha did that, Jesus.

So do You.

You had prompted this Shunammite woman to be good to Elisha

so he wanted You to do something special for her!

Thursday, May 11, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’”
(Philippians 2:14-15)

There’s a payoff for doing life Your way, Jesus!

There’s always a payoff.
A very good payoff.

It seldom happens when or how or where I imagined it would

but when it does, I’m blown away.

Still the greatest payoff of all for doing things Your way

is the certain knowledge that I’m putting a smile on Your face.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…a temple had not yet been built for the Name of the Lord. Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.”
(1 Kings 3:2-3)

Solomon had an excuse for doing wrong, Jesus.

There was no temple.

But he didn’t have to go to one of those high places You so detested!

Satan will always provide me with an excuse to do wrong.

But to do wrong
there is no acceptable excuse.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In [Jesus Christ our Lord] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
(Ephesians 3:12)

Not beside You, Jesus…

in You.

Not through faith in myself…

but only through faith in You.

It is in You and through faith in You that the great barrier between human beings and God can be crossed.

It was our sin that created that barrier.
Okay. In my case, it’s my sin.
Mine.

But You died in my place on the cross

so I could enjoy You with freedom and confidence!
