Add this strategy to your toolbox, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”
(Ezra 4:3]

Their enemies didn’t get it, Jesus.

They couldn’t grasp
why Your people didn’t want their help to build the temple.

So the heads of Your families spoke their language –

answered them with a reason they could understand.

When I experience opposition from Your enemies

help me answer them with words supplied by You

that’ll stop them in their tracks.

Watch your step! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel, they… said, ‘Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God…’”
(Ezra 4:1-2)

It’s a fact, Jesus:

Your enemies will sometimes pretend to be my friends.

Oh, how I need Your guidance, Holy Spirit!

Help me see through them!

May I never be so desperate for friends

that I fall for their lying deception.

Pray this Lazaroo in lavish worship:

“He adorned the temple with precious stones.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

As he oversaw the building of the temple

Solomon did his best to honor, worship and exalt you, Jesus.

That’s the desire of my heart!

I’m sure You enjoyed those precious stones, Father

but I have none to give.

What I’m offering You is the best of who I am and what You’ve given me.

Everything that is mine came from Your hand.

Back into Your hands they go.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the building of the house of the LORD.”
(Ezra 3:8)

There’s more than one way to build Your house, Jesus.

Here, Ezra’s talking about the physical building of Your temple.
Pretty important.

There’s building the number of people who go each week
to worship in Your house.
No small thing, that.

But nothing is as important as building the people themselves
into Your likeness

teaching them Your Word
enabling them to develop

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.
