Pray this Lazaroo with mounting anticipation:

“Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.”
(1 Chronicles 9:2)

There’s nothing like coming home, Jesus.

Well…that’s true if home is a good place.

Many people have had bad experiences growing up.

So for them, returning home would be painful.

But here’s the beautiful thing I’ve got to keep in mind:

This world is not my home!

My home is with You, in heaven.

Oh, what a joy it will be
to go home.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.”
(Colossians 2:4)

As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus

there are so many people out there
who enjoy deceiving others.

That’s the work of Satan, isn’t it?

They don’t believe in You.
They couldn’t!

If they believed in a God who sees and hears and knows all

there’s no way in this world
they would practice this kind of deceit.

I’m begging You, Father:

Protect me!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“She said to her husband, ‘I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.’”
(2 Kings 4:9-10)

When I take care of those You have called into Your service, Jesus

You see.
You approve.

And oh, my LORD!

You bless.

Pray this Lazaroo in total submission:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing…”
(Philippians 2:14)

Seriously, Jesus?

“Everything?”

Okay. I know You’re serious about this

but it’s quite clear:

I haven’t been taking this command seriously enough.

When I don’t like what’s going on I tend to grumble.

When I don’t like what somebody’s saying, I tend to argue.

But You want me to cut that out.

All of it.

Okay. I’ll try.

But You know me!
I’m going to need a ton of help from You to pull this off.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married his daughter. He brought her to the City of David until he finished building his palace and the temple of the Lord, and the wall around Jerusalem. The people, however, were still sacrificing at the high places…”
(1 Kings 3:1-2)

And so it starts to unravel, Jesus…

Solomon enters a forbidden marriage
the people worshiping where they shouldn’t.

The more disobedience I incorporate in my life

the more swiftly my downfall arrives.

Pray this Lazaroo in confidence and respect:

“…for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
(Ephesians 3:9-11)

You’ve got a plan, Jesus.

It’s a beautiful, perfect, awesome plan.

And nothing in this world or the next has the power to thwart it!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Abner… said, ‘For some time you have wanted to make David your king. Now do it! For the Lord promised David, “By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.”…Then he went to Hebron to tell David…”
(2 Samuel 3:17-19)

Since Abner knew it was Your will to make David king, Jesus

why had he fought so long against him?

Or put another way:

Since I know what You want me to do
why don’t I do it?

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.’”
(Galatians 3:10-11)

I keep trying to do good, Jesus

and so I should.

But not to earn my salvation!

I give my all to please You
In gratitude for your gift of faith.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“…we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:2)

That’s exactly who I want to be, Jesus!

Nothing under the table
Nothing shameful.

No deception.
Distortion-free.

A plain truth-teller of Your Word.

What others think matters
but the one I most want to please

is You.
