Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the One who’s in charge:

“I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:15-16)

And that’s how it goes, doesn’t it, Jesus?

None of us is on top forever.
Some of us are on top

never.

People are fickle.
Times change.

But You never do!

I am so thankful that it’s not the crowd
that decides my fate.

It’s You!

Thank God, it’s You.

Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
(Revelation 3:14-16)

In the day-to-day struggle, Jesus

it’s so easy to lose my passion.

No, I don’t forsake You. I never stop believing. My love doesn’t grow cold.

But if it’s not burning hot
that has to change.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Who knows? God may yet relent…”
(Jonah 3:9)

Even after the prophet Jonah delivered Your declaration of doom, Jesus

Ninevah’s king rallied his people with the hope of Your mercy.

For good reason:
Your mercy is legendary!

Yes, You punish willful, stubbornly repetitive sin.

But it breaks Your heart when You have to do it.
You give us chance after chance after chance to repent.

Even after You pronounce judgment

there’s always hope that You will relent
if we change our wicked ways.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pay extremely close attention, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it…This will be a sign to the people of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.”
(Ezekiel 4:3-4)

How many times, Jesus

have You called on Your prophets, preachers and pastors
to be a sign to Your sinning people

to repent, change their hearts and their evil ways
before it’s too late?

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?…he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat…The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath…So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
(Mark 2:25-28)

You’re the One who makes the rules, Jesus.

I’m not about to question You when You change them.

My job is real simple:

Obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with measured caution:

“…using the cubit of the old standard…”
(2 Chronicles 3:3)

Things change, Jesus –

sometimes for the better –
but not always.

Many people who come into power immediately change everything

merely to fit their leadership style
or to make genuine improvements they believe in
or with an intent to erase the memory of their predecessor.

Sometimes the people embrace the changes

sometimes they tolerate them

and sometimes they get rid of the new leader
because they see straight through him.

Pray this Lazaroo in eager expectation:

“The LORD…raises the poor from the dust…”
(1 Samuel 2:7-8)

That’s one of the things about You I like best, Jesus –

You don’t leave any of us where we are.

Those who are humbled You lift.
Those who are haughty You humble.

Of this I can be sure:

Whatever I do now
Whoever I am now

is going to change.

The more fully I surrender to You

the more stunning the end result.

One touch from You

is transformative.
