Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.”
(1 John 2:22)

You’re the Promised One, Jesus!

The Christ.
The Messiah.
The Savior of all who believe.

All who reject this truth are not only liars, but they’re the antichrist.

To deny You is to deny the Father
because You and the Father are One!

There’s a place for compromise.

This isn’t it.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

And what a grace-filed gift it is, Jesus –

to tell others about You.

Not just to those who’ve already heard

but to those who’ve never heard Your Name one time!

Most of us can’t go to those faraway places

but we can give sacrificially to You
and help those who can!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

Paul’s not merely being humble, Jesus.

He absolutely believes he’s less than the least of all Your people.

So let’s see…

if the great Apostle Paul has that opinion of himself

where does that place me?

Somewhere way, waaaaay beneath
the less than the least of all Your people!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
(2 Corinthians 3:14-16)

This is extremely humbling, Jesus.

You can dull my mind.
Only You can sharpen it again.

I’m turning to You with all my heart!

Take the veil away!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

What a reminder, Jesus!

There’s more than one kind of hope.

There’s hope

bad hope

and good hope.

Some things I hope for are just “hope.”

They’re fine…but they don’t really make anything better.

Other things I hope for are “bad hope.”

If I get them, they’ll end up hurting me.

But You Are the Giver of Good Hope!

which is –

all good!

Get ready! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”
(Colossians 1:28-29)

That’s what I need more than anything, Jesus –

Your powerful energy!

My problem isn’t ignorance.

I have a pretty good idea of what You want me to do.

But enough time’s been wasted.
Now I’ve got to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.”
(Colossians 1:28)

Everyone? Fully mature in You, Jesus?

Now, that would be an all-time miracle!
Especially for the likes of me.

But that’s exactly the miracle for which I pray –

not only for all my brothers and sisters in You
but also for me –

the least deserving
lowliest follower
of them all.

And yet…

I believe!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
(Ephesians 2:20-22)

What a miracle, Jesus!

Our temple is not a building of wood, brick, metal or stone.
We are Your temple!

Not only do You live in us
but we live in You!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
(Galatians 2:21)

Paul’s passionate for a reason, Jesus:

You’re the one speaking this truth through him!

I should do my best to live an absolutely holy life.

But no matter how hard I try, I’ll always fall short.

It’s Your grace – the loving price You paid for me on the cross

then rising from the dead –

that is my one, sure hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God.”
(2 Corinthians 3:3-4)

That’s the letter of recommendation I desire, Jesus!

I’m not asking for a piece of paper.

All I need to see

is that through me

You continue to transform lives!
