Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.

Pray this Lazaroo with a yearning soul:

“At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.”
(1 Samuel 3:12-13)

I, too, have failed to restrain some of the people in my life, Jesus.

Of course, You haven’t given me full control over someone else.

But You have given me a measure of influence.

Please maximize Your mighty power through me
to accomplish what only You can do.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.”
(Joel 2:26)

One day all of us will have plenty to eat, Jesus

but not yet.

One day all of us will avoid shame

but that day is still in the future.

However, there is one thing we can do:

We can praise Your holy Name!
For you have, indeed, worked wonders for us!

In faith and trust, deal with it – as you pray this Lazaroo:

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
(Revelation 3:7)

We don’t respond very well to that initially, Jesus.

We like to appeal decisions we don’t like.
We like to feel we have some measure of control.

But we don’t.

You do hear every prayer I pray according to Your will!

But when I ask for something not best
may I truly be grateful

that Your answer is no.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“These were the descendants of Ehud, who were heads of families of those living in Geba and were deported to Manahath…”
(1 Chronicles 8:6)

The old rule of warfare, Jesus –

decapitate the enemy’s leaders
replace them with Your own leaders
to maintain control over the people.

But that never works against Your people

even when we’re invaded
even when it looks as though we’re completely conquered.

No matter who they take away

we always have our Powerful Leader:

You.
