Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.”
(2 Chronicles 5:7-8)

This was the last time most of them would ever see the ark, Jesus.

But because of what You did on the cross
I’m meeting with You in the Most Holy Place right now!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In [Jesus Christ our Lord] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
(Ephesians 3:12)

Not beside You, Jesus…

in You.

Not through faith in myself…

but only through faith in You.

It is in You and through faith in You that the great barrier between human beings and God can be crossed.

It was our sin that created that barrier.
Okay. In my case, it’s my sin.
Mine.

But You died in my place on the cross

so I could enjoy You with freedom and confidence!

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude and awe:

“When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile.”
(Ruth 3:7)

If Boaz thought he was in good spirits then, Jesus

You were about to take him to a whole ‘nuther level!

He was about to get a new wife and a new life.

Moreover, You were adding him to the bloodline
from which You would one day be born –

and by Your blood shed on the cross
I’ve been born again!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“The voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
(Nahum 2:13)

You sent Jonah to warn Ninevah of their impending doom, Jesus.

But when they repented
You relented!

Not this time.

Not long after You granted them a stay of execution
they went right back to their detestable sins.

They stopped sinning to avoid punishment
not because they hated and rejected what they had done.

Nahum was the last prophet You sent to them.

O God!
May I never cross that line!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Philemon 1:3)

When I live in the wonder of Your grace, Jesus

I experience Your peace.

So long as I believe I have to earn my way to heaven

there is no peace
because I know I’ll never be good enough.

But when I trust what You did for me on the cross

as payment in full for my sins

I’m filled with Your peace
that surpasses all understanding.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.”
(John 2:23-25)

I wouldn’t blame You for not entrusting Yourself to me, Jesus.

You know exactly what’s in me.

But You did!

You gave Yourself for me on the cross!

to purify me until inside and out
I think, speak and behave

like one of Your own.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery…”
(Ephesians 3:9)

This isn’t only Paul’s assignment, Jesus

it’s mine, too.

Your good news isn’t hard to tell.

But it is hard to explain.

Why would the God of heaven come to earth as a man

and give Your life on the cross to save a wretch like me?

There’s one explanation and one explanation only:

You love us with a depth, passion and ferocity

that none of us can begin to comprehend.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Their teaching will spread like gangrene.”
(2 Timothy 2:17)

False teaching is so like gangrene it’s scary, Jesus

bringing spiritual death to all who embrace it.

Gangrene occurs when there is no blood flow to arms, legs, toes and fingers

just as false teachers deny the saving power
of Your blood shed for us on the cross.

Muscles and internal organs can die from spreading infection

in the same way the sins promoted by the false teacher
destroys their followers from the inside.
