Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart!

“You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins.”
(Amos 5:11-12)

When I cheat to get something, Jesus

I’m fooling no one but myself.
You’ll see to that!

Help me serve You with integrity

and leave the blessings to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”
(Galatians 3:13-14)

Every time I think of this, I’m stunned, Jesus:

By faith in You

I receive the Holy Spirit
and the blessings promised to Abraham!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

This is how You punished Your disobedient nation, Jesus!

Wow.

You could have scorched the land, making it utterly useless for anything.

But You didn’t.
Instead, in the midst of Your disciplining anger

You turned the land they had defiled
into a blessing.

You’ve done that time and again for me!

Even while You’re correcting me
You’re blessing me in ways I would have never expected.

O God!
You Are Awesome!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“In your teaching show integrity…”
(Titus 2:7)

There are a lot of ways to teach, Jesus

even if I don’t consider myself to be a teacher.

The most powerful is by my example, isn’t it?

May everyone who watches my life be able to see that

I live for You
I live according to Your Word
I long to be a true blessing to others
I do not turn from Your Word to the right or to the left.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Above the Horse Gate, the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house. Next to them, Zadok son of Immer made repairs opposite his house.”
(Nehemiah 3:28-29)

It’s great to help others, Jesus

but You expect me to take care of my own business too.

True, I’m to put others ahead of myself.

But if I neglect my own responsibilities

I cease being a blessing
and become a burden.

It’s kind of tricky, isn’t it?

Please help me navigate it properly!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—”
(Joel 2:13-14)

Why do You treat us so much better than we deserve, Jesus?

It’s Your deep, abiding love, isn’t it?

Hallelujah!
Thank You!

But I can’t let it stop here, can I?

There are those who’ve wronged me
even as I have wronged You.

May I extend to them
Your deep, abiding love!

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
Peace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!

Surrender to God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to you who live by the sea…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

At first glance, that comes as a surprise, Jesus.

Oceanfront homes are highly sought-after.

But not if You curse it!

A home by the sea is vulnerable to hurricanes

to unusually high tides
to tsunamis.

Depending on how isolated

perhaps even to burglary
…or worse.

In fact, no home is safe

without Your protection.

Plant me wherever You want me, Father!

Wherever I can receive
Your incomparable, undeserved blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’”
(Mark 2:5)

Forgiveness wasn’t what he came for, Jesus…

but it was what he needed.

He was focused on physical healing.

But first things first.

First I have to get right with You.
Then I can ask for Your healing, blessing, guidance.

I want what I want when I want it.

But You’re far more concerned about what You know that I need

when I need it.
