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.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“From this day on I will bless you.”
(Haggai 2:19)

You had been punishing Your people, Jesus.

Because of their sins against You

they planted much, but harvested little
they ate, but didn’t have enough
they drank, but never quenched their thirst
they put on clothes, but couldn’t keep warm
they earned money…which dwindled away.

Then came the day when You said, “Enough is enough!”

You continue to treat me better than I deserve, LORD!

I’m thankful.
Beyond words.

Know it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the palace collapses.”
(Nahum 2:6)

When that happens, Jesus

it leaves people in shock.

These high and mighty leaders with their unimaginable resources

seem untouchable.

But they’re not.

One nudge from Your pinkie finger
one puff of air from your left nostril

is all it takes!

…and down they go –

while those who revere Your Name and trust in You alone

enjoy incomprehensible blessing and protection!

You’ve warned me:

In this world I’ll have trouble.

But that’s okay.

Because You overcome the world!

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit

“The river gates are thrown open…”
(Nahum 2:6)

When Ninevah’s river gates were opened, Jesus

their city was flooded.

The very thing that had been a blessing to them

became their undoing.

Are there areas in my life that carry that risk, Father?

People, work, sports, foods, entertainment, behaviors –

given to me as blessings from You

that I might misuse, turning them into self-inflicted harm?

Absolutely.
Every one of them.

Help me enjoy Your blessings in the right way!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings…”
(Hosea 3:5)

What a fascinating juxtaposition, Jesus:

“trembling”…and “blessing.”

So as I look at this, here’s what I’m wondering:

Do You bless those who approach You with trembling?

Well, I know You bless everyone in ways beyond counting.

But do You reserve a special blessing for those
who tremble because they recognize more than most

Your greatness, majesty, wisdom, love and power?

Awesome God!
I come trembling!

Take heed! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You take away my blessing…”
(Micah 2:9)

You want to bless us, Jesus.

You love to bless us.
You long to bless us!

But if we persist in our sins

we prevent You from blessing us as you so deeply desire.

Oh, in Your loving mercy You continue to bless us in countless ways –

in ways we so often ignore –

but not nearly as much as You would have blessed us

if only we had stayed true to You.

Your mother was right, Jesus.

All generations have called her blessed!

She gave birth to the One who gave life to her!

She got to see You grow up – literally, the perfect child.
She saw You work miracles, teach truth, become famous.

But Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her soul

also came true when she saw You crucified.

May I never forget that on this earth

pain accompanies blessing.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep appreciation:

“…sufficient for him.”
(2 Corinthians 2:6)

Everything You do for me is sufficient, Jesus!

…not to mention unique.

What’s sufficient for me may not be for someone else.

Thank You for not giving me the one-size-fits-all treatment!

The way You reward me is different from what You do for everyone else.

So is the way You correct me.

But please help me remember that for others, it may be too much…too little…

…or need to be something else entirely.
