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

“…half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor…Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked.”
(Nehemiah 4:16-18)

Those are extreme measures Jesus

needed only when the threat level is high.

Because I’m sold out to You

the threat level from the enemy of my soul is always high.

Better strap on my sword of the Spirit
and suit up in the full armor of God!

Pray this Lazaroo in no-matter-what trust:

“…the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave us all of them.”
(Deuteronomy 2:35-36)

Thank You for giving us seasons like Jesus!

Please help us remember them

when You lead us through the dark valleys of loss.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over…”
(Joshua 4:10)

It’s incredibly hard to stand still, Jesus –

especially when everybody else is hurrying past
under the shadow of a towering wall of water!

But may I move when You say move

and stay put when You so command.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.”
(Joshua 4:9)

What an awesome reminder of that miracle, Jesus!

We need reminders.

Because too often
we forget.

That usually happens

when we ask You for something that isn’t best
and don’t get it.

Maybe I need to set up some physical reminders

of the things You’ve done for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down.”
(Joshua 4:8)

What a powerful symbol and reminder of Your miracle, Jesus!

But there was something even more important that happened on that day:

They did exactly what You told them to do.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.”
(Acts 3:1-2)

Peter and John thought they were there to pray, Jesus.

The lame man thought he was there to beg.

All three were about to discover:

You had a little something else in mind!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…Ehud had made a double-edged sword…which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man. After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it.”
(Judges 3:16-19)

Eglon never would have trusted Ehud, Jesus

If he had known what was coming next.

I have no idea who’s carrying a sword to use on me

or on those I love, Holy Spirit

but You do.

I beg You:

Protect us!
