Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called…‘Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.’”
(Ezekiel 9:3-4)

Place that mark on my forehead, Jesus!

I’m brokenhearted about what is happening in my country
and around the world.

Because I’m faithful to Your Word

may many others receive that mark.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done. The Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.’”
(Deuteronomy 2:30-31)

When You’re ready to do something, Jesus

You don’t have to wait for a person to cooperate.
You can make them do it.

Great God!

I’m cooperating!

Make me what You want me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I sent messengers to Sihon king of Heshbon offering peace and saying, ‘Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left. Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver.’ But Sihon…refused to let us pass through.”
(Deuteronomy 2:26-28; 30)

There are going to be days like that, Jesus.

I’ve experienced a few of them.

But it helps to remember

it happened in accordance with Your perfect plan.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle. This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
(Deuteronomy 2:24-25)

Nothing happens, Jesus

unless You make it happen
or let it happen

which means my total focus
needs to be on You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

The young lions are the future, Jesus.

If You punish a nation by destroying the best of their youth
You doom that country to become increasingly weak

eventually to disappear

which is exactly what happened in 637

to the once great city of Nineveh.

O God!

I beg You: Spare our young lions!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Take it to heart! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins. At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted.”
(Zephaniah 2:4)

Wow, Jesus:

“Abandoned. Left in ruins.
Emptied. Uprooted.”

I wouldn’t want any of those to happen to me

let alone all of them!

But this is exactly what will happen on the day of Your wrath

to the cities of this –

or any country –

that repeatedly defies You.

O God!

Send a revival to my nation!

To the world!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed passion:

“…shaming your own house…”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

It’s not about me alone, is it, Jesus?

It’s about those who live with me
those who grew up with me
those I count as friends
those where I work
those in my city, state, country
those in my church.

When I mess up, I shame them.

But the good news is this:

When I please You, I honor them!

And even when I’ve strayed

by returning to You
I give them hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led discernment:

“…according to their clans…”
(Numbers 3:39)

What’s my clan, Jesus?

My family of origin?
My circle of friends?
The people at work?
My neighbors?
My state?
My country?
My church?

Could I possibly have more than one clan?

Maybe…but why does any of that matter?

Well…because the people I’m with influence me, don’t they?

…and I them.

Show me who You want to make up my clan, Father!

…and help me leave every clan
injurious to my spiritual health.
