Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Now since we are under obligation to the palace and it is not proper for us to see the king dishonored, we are sending this message to inform the king…”
(Ezra 4:14)

King Artaxerxes had to smell the stench from this heaping pile of garbage from a mile away, Jesus!

These two wicked, jealous yahoos were tattling
because Your chosen servant
was rattling their cages
by obeying You.

Great God!

Help me be a cage-rattler
instead of a garbage-pusher.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent trust:

“As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…”
(1 Peter 2:4)

Others may have rejected You, Jesus…

but not I!

You’re my All…my Everything – the Ever-Living Stone!

You’re precious not only to Your heavenly Father
but precious beyond all measure to me.

Make me into the perfect living stone for my place

in Your spiritual house.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-inspired discernment:

“…I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.”
(Ezekiel 3:14)

It’s seldom a good idea to go anywhere when I’m bitter, Jesus.

Even less so with an angry spirit.

But when You’re the one whose strong hand is creating both

look out, sin-ridden destination!

They’re about to find out what You can do to disrupt and destroy

through Your unworthy, chosen instrument.

Use me, LORD!
Use me!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Finding Philip, he said to him, ‘Follow me.’”
(John 1:43)

You deliberately left Galilee to find Phillip, Jesus

just like You deliberately chose, called and saved me.

There was nothing in my sinful human nature that would have chosen You

until You chose me.

Only then did I begin to grasp that You love me so much

that You went to the cross to pay for my sins

then rose from the dead

so we could be together

forever.

Beg God to help you walk your talk as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken…”
(Jude 1:15)

Ungodly sinners are known for harsh words, Jesus.

But how much worse are harsh words
spoken by me?

I’m supposed to be Your child –

redeemed by Your blood on the cross –
chosen, changed, sanctified.

I’m supposed to set a holy example

safe for everyone to follow.

How is the person I’ve spoken harshly against

supposed to be able to tell the difference
between me and an ungodly sinner?

They can’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…the Mighty One has done great things for me…”
(Luke 1:49)

That’s how Mary felt when she was pregnant with You, Jesus!

And she was right.

To be chosen as the mother of the Savior of the world?

Priceless.

You have done great things for me, too, Mighty One!

To be chosen as the child of the Creator of the Universe!
The Alpha and Omega! The Bright Morning Star!
The One who loves with an Everlasting Love?

Priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo in boundless gratitude:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth…”
(Amos 3:2)

What an honor for the descendants of Abraham, Father!

You passed over nations much more numerous
far more powerful
more famous.

Why?

Because You knew Abraham would do what You told him to do
and pass it on to those after him.

Jesus, thank You for what you did on the cross

to make me – as unworthy as I am –
a member of this amazing family!
