Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing joy:

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.”
(Acts 3:16)

What a powerful witness, Jesus!

Thank You for instantly healing that man –
lame from birth!

Of course, the day came when he died.

No matter how many miracles You perform on earth
they’re temporary…except for one:

Your gift to all who believe
of eternal life.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’”
(John 3:5-7)

I can do all the good within my power to do, Jesus

but I can’t save myself.

I’m looking to You alone to save me

as I trust in Your death, burial and resurrection.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, ‘With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.’ Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.”
(Genesis 4:1-2)

And so the stage is set, Jesus.

It begins with joy
and ends with tragedy.

Two very different boys
two very different outcomes.

Only You know why life sometimes works this way

but one day, You’ll explain it all!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Now a man who was lame from birth…asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, ‘Look at us!’ So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.”
(Acts 3:2-5)

He was about to get something all right, Jesus…

but it wasn’t from Peter and John.

It was from You!

He wanted money, but what he needed was to be healed.

That’s what I desire, Father!

Not what I think I want
but what You know I need.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children.”
(Hosea 5:5-7)

When we keep sinning – especially when we know better, Jesus –

You withdraw from us.

I can’t afford that, LORD!
I need You too desperately.

Please help me stay faithful to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.”
(Acts 3:1-2)

Peter and John thought they were there to pray, Jesus.

The lame man thought he was there to beg.

All three were about to discover:

You had a little something else in mind!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…Mary…was pledged to be married…and was expecting a child…the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”
(Luke 2:5-7)

Just like then, Jesus

some of those You love so much
have no room for You in their hearts.

May my heart be so full of love for You

that it makes up the difference!
