Pray this Lazaroo as you confidently wait on God:

“‘The Lord bless you, my daughter,’ he replied. ‘This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.’”
(Ruth 3:10)

Ruth continued to live in a way that honored You, Jesus.

Because You’re who You Are
that was enough.

I have no idea how You’re going to intervene for me.

Knowing You, I expect it will be totally different than I imagine.

But I do know my part in Your miracle:

Continue to live in a way that honors You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of gratitude:

“I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Thank You for reminding me to pray for the people I’m thankful for, Jesus.

Bless them richly for making such a difference in my life
and in the lives of so many others.

Cause others to be a blessing to them
as they are being a blessing to me.

Thank You, too, for reminding me to thank You for those on my prayer list

even if it’s only to give me
one more reason to talk with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in supernatural awareness:

“You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.”
(Song of Songs 4:12-14)

Solomon had a way with words, Jesus

and no wonder:

You’re the one who gave them to him!

Please give me the words I need to

bless
encourage
uplift
strengthen

those You’ve placed in my life!

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 with over-the-top trust:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
(1 Peter 2:10)

You blessed Your people, Jesus!

But You didn’t bless them
just to be blessing them.

You blessed them
to be a blessing.

May I never forget:

Every blessing I receive from You
creates an opportunity to be Your blessing
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“See, I will make you small…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Yes, Jesus.

I’ve seen.
You can make me very, very small.

But that’s a good thing, right?

It is, if I accept Your discipline

humble myself

and totally surrender to You.

May I never rebel

when You do what You have to do
to correct me.

Keep me small in my own eyes, Father!

even if You bless me in the future

recognizing 100% of the time:

every good thing comes from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with consistent faith:

“Then the Lord was jealous for his land and took pity on his people. The Lord replied to them: ‘I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.’”
(Joel 2:18-19)

That’s Your heart, Jesus!

When we repent, You bless us!

But when we return to our wicked ways – as Your people did –

You reluctantly withdraw Your blessings

knowing only then will we return to You.

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

“Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 3:31-33)

From a distance, Jesus…

it’s easy to believe evil people
are getting away with it.

But You’ve given Your Word:

They’re not!

You alone are my hope for a great life on this earth

…and beyond.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker…”
(Philemon 1:1)

It’s great to have a friend, Jesus

and what would I do, if I didn’t have people to work alongside me?

But to have both in one person – a friend and fellow worker –

is golden.

Thank You for every one of them You’ve placed in my life!

Bless them richly.
Protect them.

Help me show them the love and gratitude I feel for them.

Enable me to be a great friend and fellow worker to others!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, ‘May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the Lord.’ Then they would go home. And the Lord was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters.”
(1 Samuel 2:20-21)

No one can outgive You, Jesus!

Least of all me.

You’ve blessed me over and over and over again.

I can never repay You
but I will never stop trying!
