Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!”
(Hebrews 5:11-12)

I don’t know why those people didn’t try to understand, Jesus.

But they’re not me.
I long to understand!

I’m begging You: Help me understand!

Pray this Lazaroo in patient confidence:

“In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, ‘Nothing will ever shake me.’ He swears, ‘No one will ever do me harm.’”
(Psalm 10:4-6)

From a distance, Jesus

that’s the way it seems.

While the righteous suffer

it looks like the wicked are doing just fine.

But You’ve made it clear:

Their day is coming.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.”
(1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

You’re my judge, Jesus.

But even better
You’re my compassionate, loving, merciful Savior!

Others see my results.

You see my heart –
how passionately I long to please You!

Pray this Lazaroo with acknowledged need:

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

You’re making it very clear, Jesus:

We need each other.

I need other people in my life –

reliable people!

…and they need me.

So much for my solo act.

May I be the help to others

I need from them.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.”
(1 Timothy 3:8-10)

All these things really matter to You, don’t they, Jesus?

That’s why they matter to me.

May I live out each day
the holy life to which I’m called!

Pray this Lazaroo with holy passion:

“The Lord said to Moses: ‘Give Aaron and his sons this command: “These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.”’”
(Leviticus 6:8-9)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

Everything You did back then serves as an example for us.

O God!

Keep Your fire burning within me –
morning, noon and night!

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of love:

“Be merciful…”
(Jude 1:22)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why is it so hard for me to be merciful to others

while being the grateful recipient
of all this mercy I’m receiving from You?

I know what I deserve –

and it ain’t peaches and cream.

I deserve dismemberment, humiliation and hell.
Instead, You’ve given me life, golden opportunities and heaven.

Surely, I can muster up a little of Your mercy toward others!

You’ve made it pretty clear:

If I don’t

my own mercy could come to a halt.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“He has overthrown you without pity, he has let the enemy gloat over you, he has exalted the horn of your foes. The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. You walls of Daughter Zion, let your tears flow like a river day and night; give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest.”
(Lamentations 2:17-18)

It’s hard to see You like this, Jesus

but absolutely essential.

You’re giving me a clear picture of the horror of sin.

May I hate and reject the sin in my life
as much as You do.

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo::

“Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’ Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.”
(Matthew 4:10-11)

You’re teaching me how to successfully battle the devil, Jesus:

1. Tell him to get away.
2. Quote the Word to him.
3. Make it clear that I will serve no one but You.

That kind of encounter with the enemy of my soul can be exhausting.

But when needed

You’ll send Your angels to attend me!

Pray this Lazaroo in total submission:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing…”
(Philippians 2:14)

Seriously, Jesus?

“Everything?”

Okay. I know You’re serious about this

but it’s quite clear:

I haven’t been taking this command seriously enough.

When I don’t like what’s going on I tend to grumble.

When I don’t like what somebody’s saying, I tend to argue.

But You want me to cut that out.

All of it.

Okay. I’ll try.

But You know me!
I’m going to need a ton of help from You to pull this off.
