Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:16)

You ensure that every sin has a consequence, Jesus.

The bigger the sin
the bigger the consequence.

The good news?

You reward every good thought, word or deed.

Let’s see…

which would I like to make my goal? 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“‘I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.’ People will oppress each other—man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored.”
(Isaiah 3:4-5)

If this is how You punish a people’s sinful behavior, Jesus

I would say my city, state, nation –

and this entire world –

are being punished.

LORD, send revival! Fall on this land!

You’ve done it before.

Please, Father:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, ‘May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the Lord.’ Then they would go home. And the Lord was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters.”
(1 Samuel 2:20-21)

No one can outgive You, Jesus!

Least of all me.

You’ve blessed me over and over and over again.

I can never repay You
but I will never stop trying!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Ezer and Elead were killed by the native-born men of Gath, when they went down to seize their livestock. Their father Ephraim mourned for them many days, and his relatives came to comfort him.
(1 Chronicles 7:21-22)

The loss of Ephraim’s livestock didn’t even register, Jesus

in comparison to the loss of his sons.

I’m sure he appreciated his relative’s attempts to comfort him

but the agony of this kind of tragedy
doesn’t disappear overnight.

There is a comfort

only You can give.

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

“…the older women…can train the younger women to love their…children…”
(Titus 2:3-4)

Most young moms have deep feelings of love for their children, Jesus

but that’s not the same as loving them
the way they need to be loved.

You’re the One who reveals when they need a hug

and when they need discipline

when they need encouragement
and when they need ultimatums

when they need their mothers to hold on tight
and when their mothers must let them go.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…my groans pour out like water.”
(Job 3:24)

Few people can identify with the depth of Job’s suffering, Jesus.

But You can.

Job had lost almost everything – his wealth, his children and his health.

The only thing that remained were his so-called friends
who told him he was getting what he deserved

a wife who told him to curse You and die

and his life.

But you gave even that – Your life! – out of love for me.

Thank You!

Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“…they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:19)

Solomon’s nervous about what his heirs are going to do after he’s gone, Jesus.

I’m sure my parents had some of those same thoughts about me.
Maybe I’ll feel the same toward my kids!

But what matters isn’t the stuff I leave behind, is it?

It’s the quality of my children’s 1on1 relationship

with You.

(1 Chronicles 6:61)

They’re not all the same, are they, Jesus?

I can rejoice over some of those who come after me
and weep over others –

especially when I remember that my descendants
are not limited to my biological children.

Every person into whom I’ve invested time, prayer, energy, finances

is a child of mine.

O God!

I’m so grateful for the ones who are doing well.
Please transform and rescue those who aren’t!

Take a clear-eyed look, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…children who do not yet know good from bad…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

Those have to be some pretty young kids, Jesus

because most little ones catch on awfully quick.

Oh, they may not understand why something is good or bad

but even as babies they can immediately tell
when their mothers and fathers are pleased or displeased.

You’ve made it clear:

A child’s character is revealed
by what they do.

So is mine.
God help me, so is mine.

Pray this Lazaroo, sobered:

(1 John 2:13)

Thank You, Jesus!

because the fathers of our day
need a good writing-to.

Of course, You’ve already written.

But are fathers reading what You’ve given them?
Are they taking it to heart, obeying it?

Some are.

Some are rejecting the Bible entirely.

Others, deluded, are picking and choosing which parts they like

discarding the rest

as though Your Word was a buffet line
where desserts can be eaten

the meat ignored.
