Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“He was faithful to the one who appointed him…”
(Hebrews 3:2)

The writer is talking about You, Jesus –

faithful to the Father who appointed You!

In light of the fact that You were persecuted, tortured and crucified

that’s faithfulness unlike anything I’ve been called to do.

Nevertheless, I want to follow Your example.

I want to be faithful to the one who appointed me:

You.

I hope it doesn’t involve torture and crucifixion

but whatever it requires…

be my strength!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Spread your protection over…those who love your name…”
(Psalms 5:11)

I love Your Name, Jesus!

Please spread Your protection over me.

Having said that

I confess that I don’t love Your Name nearly enough.

Help me love You as You deserve!

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…more than I ask.”
(Philemon 1:21)

Who does that, Jesus?

Really good people
powered by You.

Most people do less

attempting to gauge the minimum it takes to get by.

Doesn’t matter how much I ask.

They have their margins, their schedules, their limits.

Frankly, so do I.

But when I feel Your inner prompt, Holy Spirit

when You rise up within me
flooding me with conviction

I’m able to rise above myself
and be better than my best.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“…filled with gladness…”
(Job 3:22)

There are lots of reasons to be filled with gladness, Jesus

but Job’s was pretty bleak.

He was so deeply depressed over the loss of his loved ones, his possessions and his health that he wanted to die.

He assumed when he did, he would be filled with gladness.

He had no clue this was happening

because You bragged about him to Satan!

Teach me to trust You

when life doesn’t make sense.

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

“…teach the older women to be reverent…”
(Titus 2:3)

Why do older women need to be taught reverence, Jesus?

You’d think they’d know all about it.
And of course, they do.

But maybe that’s the problem.

The attitude of been there, done that.

Bring back to me the devoted reverence of my earliest days in You!

May I never take anything about You for granted.

Keep me fresh.
Heighten my awe.

May I never be lacking

in deepest reverence.

Pray this Lazaroo in a spirit of accountability:

“Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther…”
(Esther 2:22)

It’s not enough to find out about something dangerous, is it, Jesus?

I’ve got to tell somebody.

That in itself may be dangerous.

No matter.
I can’t keep it to myself and let something bad happen.

I may not be able to prevent it.

But You’re the One who made sure I learned about it.
I know You’re watching to see if I will do the right thing.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus…”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It’s not only about me, is it, Jesus?

Straight up? I confess:

I sometimes forget that.

Although I say differently – believe differently! –

my thoughts, words and actions reveal the stark truth:

I’ve got a lot of work to do
to become the person You’ve created me to be.

Okay. Them’s the facts.

Now…back to work.

Thank You for never, ever giving up on me!

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

“They also repaired five hundred yards of the wall…”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

Five football fields, Jesus – more than a quarter of a mile…

…of wall!

No small feat.

But of course, that word, “repaired” means

that much of the wall was broken down.
Talk about discouraging. Overwhelming!

Then there’s that other word: “also.”

That tells me this wasn’t the only task staring them in the face.

But working in Your strength, power and protection, they did it!

So can I.
