Pray this Lazaroo in costly faith:

“…for the sake of his body…”
(Colossians 1:24)

Coming only days after Good Friday, Jesus…

it would be easy to think Paul is referring to your physical body,
beaten and crucified to pay for my sins.

But no.

Paul is talking about Your body of believers
and what he willingly suffers in their behalf.

Do I have that kind of love and compassion for Your Church?

Do I consider the sacrifices I make for them

a hardship…or a privilege?

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…a city of refuge…”
(1 Chronicles 6:57)

Your compassion is beyond measure, Jesus!

You designated these cities in Israel
where hunted men and women could flee.

If they had unintentionally killed someone
their avengers were not allowed to touch them.

There they could receive a fair trial – and if found innocent –
could stay safe until the death of the high priest.

You’re my High Priest and only Refuge, Jesus!

where I will stay forever
because You will never die.

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful confidence:

“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

That’s the hardest, Jesus.

When I keep my suffering to myself
it’s not a surprise that no one comforts me.

But when my pain increases to the point that I’m forced to cry out
and still no one shows up with love and compassion

my agony is multiplied by the stunning realization
that I’m abandoned
forsaken
alone.

Except I’m not!
Hallelujah!!

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“…he brought him to Jesus.”
(John 1:42)

May that be said of me, Jesus –

over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over again!

Satan wants to shut my mouth.

I’m ashamed to admit he’s won that battle countless times.

But I don’t want him to have the last laugh!

Give me the wisdom, courage and compassion
to bring to You two precious souls

for each one I’ve missed.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“…the priests in their vestments…”
(Ezra 3:10)

You were specific about these sacred garments, Jesus.

First, they were to bathe.

Aaron was to put on linen undergarments

followed by the sacred woven linen tunic, robe
linen turban and sash, breastpiece and ephod.

He was to be anointed and ordained in them

giving him dignity and honor.

Since all believers are priests, You tell me to clothe myself

with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience

and most of all…with You.

 Take stock, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“Filled with compassion…”
(Mark 1:41)

Am I ever filled with compassion, Jesus?

If so, when?

Is it only when it involves the people in my family

in my circle of friends?

or am I able to be filled with compassion for all those who are hurting

total strangers
people who speak a different language
those of another skin color?

Am I filled with compassion

for those who’ve brought suffering on themselves

…for those who’ve brought suffering on me?
