Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.”
(Song of Songs 5:6)

Few feelings are worse, Jesus

than to be abandoned by someone I love
someone I thought loved me.

But You are the Friend who sticks closer than a brother!

You will never leave me!
You will never forsake me!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate indignation:

“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!”
(Habakkuk 2:15)

They were doing that 2,600 years ago, Jesus

and they’re still doing it today.

But this isn’t merely about drunkenness, nudity and voyeurism, is it?

In that case, we might think it doesn’t apply to us.

This is about taking advantage of someone.

Now that…

may hit a little closer home.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.”
(1 Samuel 2:21)

That’s how I want to keep growing up, Jesus –

in Your holy, life-changing, me-transforming Presence!

In a sense, we all grow up in Your Presence, don’t we?

You’re everywhere!
Omnipresent!

But what You had with Samuel was closer, more intimate, wasn’t it?

He walked with You, talked with You.
You made him Your very own.

He learned to discern Your One-of-a-kind Voice.

I want that.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I will live among you…”
(Zechariah 2:11)

You’re everywhere present, Jesus…

so this is an intensification of Your Presence, isn’t it?

You’re always wherever I am

but there’s the potential of something closer
more palpable, more intimate.

Wow.

I want that.

Let me rephrase:
I want You.

But You want me, too, don’t You?

Oh, not merely in the sense
that I’ve prayed to receive You as my Savior

but in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.
