Pray this Lazaroo in humble obedience:

“They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays, and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it. Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.”
(Numbers 4:9-10)

Oh, the care You want us to take

with the things we use to worship You, Jesus!

in holy respect.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“He has raised up a horn of salvation for us…to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.”
(Luke 1:69, 73-75)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

not just some of the time –

everytime.

which means –

though you have not yet kept Your greatest promises –

You most certainly will.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“If, however, they cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour for a sin offering.”
(Leviticus 5:11)

I love this about You, Jesus!

You set a high and holy standard
but You never set it beyond our ability to reach

so long as we look to You
for the help only You can give!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: ‘Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?’ On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’”
(Mark 2:16-17)

So if I don’t recognize that I’m a sick sinner, Jesus…

You didn’t come for me.

Oh, but I am!

Pray this Lazaroo with unabashed gratitude:

“…the Lord said, ‘If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.’”
(Exodus 4:8-9)

I believe, Jesus!

I’m paying attention.

I need no other sign

than the miracle of Your salvation
for my sin-sick soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’”
(Matthew 3:16-17)

O Jesus!

If only one day

You will be able to look down from heaven on me

and say, “I am well pleased.”

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, “You must not eat from it,” Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.’”
(Genesis 3:17)

You told Abraham to listen to his wife, Jesus.

So that’s not what got Adam cursed.

It was when he listened to his wife

instead of You.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

I belong to You lock, stock and barrel –
body, spirit, soul, mind and heart –

not only because You made me

but because You declared I would be Yours before I was ever born
then called me to Yourself

to which I responded yes! with all my heart
after which You justified me
and are now glorifying me by giving me

Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with every ounce of your being:

“Then I said, ‘Put a clean turban on his head.’ So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.”
(Zechariah 3:5)

That’s what I need, Jesus.

Please. I beg You:
Put a clean turban on my head.

Erase from me every sinful thought.

Purify every brain wave of my mind .

Work the miracle necessary

to help me forgive from my heart
those who have sinned against me.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“I will overthrow chariots and their drivers…”
(Haggai 2:22)

I’m thinking of our modern chariots, Jesus –

Tanks, planes, Humvees…

It’s bad enough to crash or roll one of those…

and walk away.

So long as the driver survives…

he lives to fight another day.

But You’re saying a day will come

when You will not only destroy the vehicles
but the people inside them.

May that day come for the fierce enemies of Your people, LORD!

In Jesus’ Name!
