Pray this Lazaroo with a full heart:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
(Colossians 2:6-7)

What a great state to be in, Jesus –

“overflowing with thankfulness!”

When I think of all You’ve done for me –

starting with the love You showed
when You paid for my sins on the cross –

I have every reason to let my thanks overflow!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished…”
(Romans 3:24-25)

You’ve left a countless number of my sins unpunished Jesus.

Your sacrifice on the cross

has set free this unworthy –

but profoundly grateful –

sinner saved by grace.

Pray this Lazaroo in all honesty:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught…”
(Colossians 2:7)

Please strengthen me in my faith, Jesus!

You said if I had faith as small as a mustard seed
I could say to a mountain:

“’Move from here to there,’
and it would move.

Then my faith must be microscopic

because I can’t speak to an anthill
and get it to move.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”
(Galatians 3:13-14)

Every time I think of this, I’m stunned, Jesus:

By faith in You

I receive the Holy Spirit
and the blessings promised to Abraham!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God…being found in appearance as a man…humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!
(Philippians 2:5-6, 8)

Here I am mightily struggling to humble myself, Jesus

when only a few things don’t go my way

while for me, You humbled Yourself
all the way to death.

If called upon, help me humble myself as You did

because You’re the Giver of Eternal Life!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother…”
(Philemon 1:1)

He was the great Apostle Paul, Jesus

but not one molecule of his body wanted to make it all about him.

He willingly shared his leadership with the young man Timothy

to encourage him and validate his ministry with others.

How can I do less?

Show me the younger people You’ve placed in my life

for that very purpose –

and may I be as generous with them

as You have been with me.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [who]…made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
(Philippians 2:5, 7-8)

Wow, Jesus.

You didn’t have to do that!

In fact, You shouldn’t have.
Not for the likes of me.

But You did!

You lowered Yourself for a person who couldn’t get any lower

because You love me

and want to lift me up higher
than I could ever imagine.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery of Christ…has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 3:4-6)

This is stunning news, Jesus!

For eons, the Jews alone were Your chosen people.

But now, everyone who trusts in You

through Your death, burial and resurrection

belongs to You!

But even better –

You belong to them!

Pray this Lazaroo with eternal perspective:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus…”
(Philemon 1:1)

Wow, Jesus.

The way Paul puts that –

not a prisoner of Rome
but Your prisoner.

He makes a good point.

Had You not knocked him to the ground
revealed Yourself to him
and called him into Your service

he wouldn’t have been behind bars.

But then…

he wouldn’t have written 13 books of the New Testament
and been on his way to heaven.

Make me Your prisoner, Jesus!

…all the way Home.
