Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people…If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them…”
(Esther 3:8-9)

Just like those Jews Haman wanted to destroy, Jesus

You’ve commanded me to keep myself separate
from everything that contaminates body and spirit

holy unto You.

Satan desires to destroy me!

but You’re not going to let him.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-melting gratitude:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

That’s what I long for, Jesus!

with all my heart.

But how?

Seriously, how?

You know me.
You know what a mess I am.

If You wanted to

You could remind me of every sin I’ve ever committed.
What are they, now? In the billions?

But wait a minute!

Because I’ve put my faith in You
You’ve erased all my sins from Your record.

Wow.
That’s how.

Pray this Lazaroo with grateful thanksgiving:

“…Palal son of Uzai worked opposite the angle and the tower projecting from the upper palace near the court of the guard. Next to him, Pedaiah son of Parosh and the temple servants living on the hill of Ophel made repairs up to a point opposite the Water Gate toward the east and the projecting tower.”
(Nehemiah 3:25-26)

The projecting tower was the king’s last refuge in case of danger.

Jesus, You are not only my last refuge

You are also my first refuge–
my hiding place at all times!

Tuesday, February 8, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful acknowledgment:

“Adam was formed first, then Eve.”
(1 Timothy 2:13)

Yes, he was, Jesus.

Men might point out
that You’ve made the man the head of the wife.

Women might point out
that you took one look at Adam and said,

“I can do better than that!” 😉

But the truth is, the man didn’t feel complete without the woman.

The woman isn’t complete without the man.

They need each other.

And oh, how we both need You!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king…”
(Ezra 4:8)

I don’t care who wrote such a letter, Jesus.

Whether it’s the president of the United States
one of the 43 kings who reign over countries today
or the high potentate of all high potentates on earth

Nobody – but nobody! –

had dare take a stand against Jerusalem
the holy place You chose above everywhere on earth

for Your Name to dwell.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…by his grace…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Nothing else, Jesus.

There’s no other way under heaven
that I could ever go to heaven.

By Your grace alone.

Not by my greatest effort.
Not by my most selfless sacrifice.
Not by my sincerest attempts to please You.

Only by Your grace

will I rise from death to share eternity with You
and all the saints who’ve gone before.

Grace! Grace! Your matchless grace!
Grace that is greater than all my sin.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He then made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.”
(2 Chronicles 4:6)

So even back then, Jesus

You were demanding clean offerings

clean hands.

But only You

can purify these flawed, imperfect gifts
I offer up to You.

Only You

can cleanse these hands of mine
that have done so much sinning!

Pray this Lazaroo in patient trust:

(1 Thessalonians 2:17-18)

Sometimes it’s not how badly I want it, is it, Jesus?

I mean…if the Apostle Paul intensely desired something and didn’t get it –

I’m talking about the man
through whom You raised the dead

the man through whom You gave us
more New Testament books than any other –

then, who am I to think I might not have to wait

for Your perfect time.

Pray this Lazaroo with a longing ache in your heart:

“All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders.”
(1 Chronicles 7:40)

Oh, do we ever need men and women like that today, Jesus!

People who will step up when they see a need
men and women who stand out – bristling with ability
brave leaders who take their calling to the next level.

But people like that are rare.

You’re the only one who can put those qualities in them.

Please do.

Get ready! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”
(Colossians 1:28-29)

That’s what I need more than anything, Jesus –

Your powerful energy!

My problem isn’t ignorance.

I have a pretty good idea of what You want me to do.

But enough time’s been wasted.
Now I’ve got to do it.
