Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…listen carefully to what I say.”
(Acts 2:14)

Some people use language like that because they’re stuck on themselves, Jesus

They think everything they say is worth my rapt attention.

But when Your Apostle Peter utters those words

I’d better listen.

In fact, if it’s anywhere in the Bible, I’d better listen!

Your words
are my life.

When the people around me speak

please give me the wisdom to know whose words to hang on
and whose to dismiss.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

If only I could see you guiding me that clearly, Jesus!

When the cloud lifted, they knew it was time to break camp
then they followed the cloud You provided wherever it went.

When it stopped
so did they.

Right now I’m straining my eyes to get a glimpse of that cloud!

Please.
Show me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.”
(John 1:37)

Would you please use me in that way, Jesus – 

so when I talk to others about You
they decide to trust You as their Savior?

I don’t possess such words…

because it takes infinitely more than words!

It takes You, moving on their hearts

calling them
drawing them to Yourself.

But in Your wisdom, You’ve chosen to use ordinary people to accomplish that extraordinary thing.

Use me.

Listen for the Holy Spirit’s prompt, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He was appointed over those who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary.”
(Numbers 3:32)

That’s a lot of responsibility, Jesus –

to be responsible for those who are responsible.

Not everyone’s cut out for that.

Sometimes people are envious of those in authority
not realizing the unrelenting weight they bear.

I’m not asking for more than You’ve given me.

All I ask is this:

Make my assignment crystal clear
Then equip and inspire me to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea…”
(Luke 1:39)

Your mom had reason to hurry, didn’t she, Jesus?

An angel just told her she was going to give birth to You
and she was a virgin.

She had to tell somebody –

somebody who would believe her
somebody who would help her sort all this through.

Do I have anyone like that to go to?

Am I that person for anyone?

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“…the priest shall make atonement for them…”
(Leviticus 4:20)

It was awesome of You to provide that, Jesus…

but it wasn’t the best You had in store!

I no longer have to go to a priest to be forgiven.

The priest is no longer required to kill bulls, goats and lambs
to make atonement for my sins.

You became my Lamb.

You gave Yourself – once for all – on the cross
as payment for all my sins

past
present
future.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“I am willing…”
(Mark 1:41)

I can’t tell You how much this means to me, Jesus –

how much hope it gives me!

Here’s this man, eaten up with leprosy, who looks to you with eyes of faith –

“If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Here I am, eaten up with the leprosy of my sins and overwhelming problems

knowing You alone can make me clean
daring to believe I will hear from Your lips

“I am willing.”

Ask God to increase your level of trust as you pray this Lazaroo:

“And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you.”
(Exodus 3:12)

You said a wicked and adulteress generation asks for a sign, Jesus.

I’ll try to remember that.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to ask!

I do.

So when You volunteered to give Moses a sign without his asking

that was pretty special.

I started to ask You to do that for me.

But on second thought…
I guess I won’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in rock-solid confidence:

“Out of Egypt I called my son.”
(Matthew 2:15)

Because of Micah’s prophecy

the people of Bethlehem believed You’d be theirs, Jesus

They may not have liked hearing:

“Jesus of Nazareth.”

Now, Matthew shows Egypt can hold claim on You!

Contradictions?
Hardly.

Your mother was from Nazareth…but because of Caesar’s census

You were born in Bethlehem.

When Herod tried to kill you,

Your parents hid You in Egypt.

In short, You get around!

All the way to me.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened…”
(Genesis 3:5)

In some ways, Jesus…

a half-truth is worse than a whole lie.

A half-truth borrows from what is good and perverts it.

A boldfaced lie, at least, keeps its dirty mitts off of the truth.

Just as he did to Eve in the garden

Satan loves to tell me half-truths.

When he does, please remind me:

Eve bit…and got kicked out of Your garden.
