Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.”
(Luke 1:80)

Just like John the Baptist, Jesus

I want to grow in You!
I want to become strong in spirit!

In short, I want to become everything You’ve created me to be!

But that means I have to deliberately carve out time to do what he did

and get away for Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with obedient, lavish love:

“They must make restitution for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:16)

When I say I’m sorry for sinning against You and others, Jesus

over-the-top restitution proves I really mean it.

It also gives me added incentive

to never do it again.

Take a little comfort, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’”
(Mark 2:23-24)

If they criticized Your followers then, Jesus…

why am I surprised –

while I’m faithfully walking with You –

when they criticize me?

Please don’t let their harsh words upset me.

After all, taking heat for You
is a badge of honor!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well…You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”
(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.

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

“Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘’He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
(Matthew 4:5-6)

Help me never forget, Jesus:

When the devil quotes Scripture

it’s always twisted out of context
always for an evil purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”
(Psalm 8:6-8)

It’s hard to believe You’re talking about me, Jesus…

but You are.

I’m one of those You appointed to be a ruler over the works of Your hands!

In that case
I’d better step it up a notch.

(Philemon 1:2)

Who is this woman Apphia, Jesus?

Although she was obviously
someone of standing and influence
a key person in the church

Paul doesn’t say –

except to call her his sister.

Not his biological sister.
His sister because of their mutual faith in You.

For all of us who trust You as our LORD and Savior

are family –
brothers and sisters under You
our God and Father.

And one day in heaven…

I’ll get to meet my sister Apphia!

Pray this Lazaroo in aching compassion:

“…what do your arguments prove? Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind? You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.”
(Job 6:25-27)

That must be how the suffering feel, Jesus

when I point out to them the error of their ways.

Job was in the right.
His friends in the wrong.

Is it possible I’m the one who’s in error?

Help me set a guard over my mouth.

Take note! as you Pray this Lazaroo:

“‘The man who hates and divorces his wife,’ says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘does violence to the one he should protect,’ says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.”
(Malachi 2:16)

To the newlywed husband and wife, Jesus

those words are unnecessary and unthinkable!

But with the passage of time

and the inevitable sins they commit against one another

Your warning to every husband whom Satan incites to abuse his wife

is essential.
