Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.”
(Song of Songs 5:6)

Few feelings are worse, Jesus

than to be abandoned by someone I love
someone I thought loved me.

But You are the Friend who sticks closer than a brother!

You will never leave me!
You will never forsake me!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Samuel…was afraid to tell Eli the vision, but Eli called him and said, ‘Samuel, my son.’ Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’ ‘What was it he said to you?’ Eli asked. ‘Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.’”
(1 Samuel 3:15-17)

CHRIST IS RISEN!

May I never be afraid to tell it, Jesus.

May I never hide from anyone
this stunning truth about You!

May the whole world know

what Easter is always and forever about!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.’ So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: ‘How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.’”
(Mark 3:22-24)

No one can make that charge against You, Jesus

nor any other.

Not only did you put them in their place

You taught us an invaluable truth for all time.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Then Solomon said, ‘The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud’…”
(2 Chronicles 6:1)

I guess that’s something You told Solomon, Jesus

because that statement appears nowhere else in the Bible.

But I’m so thankful to hear it –

through every hard, torturous, dark cloud day I’m called to endure.

You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

That means so much on my good days
but it means a thousand times more on the bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called…‘Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.’”
(Ezekiel 9:3-4)

Place that mark on my forehead, Jesus!

I’m brokenhearted about what is happening in my country
and around the world.

Because I’m faithful to Your Word

may many others receive that mark.

Wednesday, December 6, 2023

 

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

“…for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”
(Esther 4:11)

Esther had to plead with the king for the lives of her people, Jesus.

But to do so was to risk her own life.

Am I willing to risk my life

to save others?

Pray this Lazaroo, undeterred:

“The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls…We questioned the elders and asked them, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’”
(Ezra 5:8-9)

Every time I launch something for You, Jesus

Satan will raise up someone to question what I’m doing.

Fine. Let them ask away!

…while I keep right on doing what You’ve called me to do.

Boast in the LORD! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: ‘Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?’”
(Acts 3:11-12)

Peter refused to take credit for Your miracle, Jesus.

As You work miracle after miracle for me

may I always give credit where credit is due!

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled gratitude:

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”
(Mark 3:13-15)

You called those you wanted, Jesus.

By Your grace, You’ve called me.
That means You want me!

Oh, my God.

Thank You!

I don’t know why You want me

but I’m determined not to let You down.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.”
(Matthew 4:21-22)

That’s who I want to be, Jesus!

Every time You call

I want to be willing to drop what I’m doing –

no matter who I’m doing it with –

and follow You every step of the way!
