Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt pleading:

“Go, assemble the elders of Israel…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Israel’s elders spoke to and for Your people, Jesus.

They were seasoned, experienced, wise, trustworthy.

But for all that, the message You told Moses to deliver to them

would have been almost impossible to accept
unless you moved on the hearts of the elders to believe it –

which You did.

Do that for me, Holy Spirit!

When You send me to someone with an amazing message, please:

Go before me.

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So he got up…”
(Matthew 2:21)

Forgive me, Jesus, but isn’t that what Your stepdad did

when an angel told him to take Your mom home to be his wife
even though she was pregnant?

and what he did when an angel told him
to take You and Your mom to Egypt?

Now, he’s obeying the angel again –

taking You and Your mom back home to Israel.

Each time He got up and did it.

Sounds like a plan.

Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking…”
(Genesis 3:8)

What a thrill that must have been, Jesus –

to be able to hear You approaching…
to know they were about to see You!

Except, it wasn’t a thrill for them on that day.

They had sinned.

You were the last person – I mean God! –

they wanted to see.

I’m the same way.

So which is it for me today?

Pray this Lazaroo in sobriety of mind:

“So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people…”
(Malachi 2:9)

To be despised – if it’s only by one or two people –

is painful, Jesus.

To be humiliated with somebody watching

is awful.

But to be despised and humiliated before everybody?

Family, friends, total strangers?
Pretty close to unbearable.

What would cause You to do something like that to a person?

Maybe because they’ve tried to make everyone they know
despise and humiliate You.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn determination:

“Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.”
(Zechariah 2:9)

The prophets of old put their lives on the line, Jesus.

When You told them what to say

they knew they could be stoned as false prophets
if what they predicted didn’t come true.

But since Your Word is absolutely reliable

that’s not why their lives were at risk.

Sometimes they were killed for delivering your message.

May I faithfully share Your Word
no matter what the cost.

Pray this Lazaroo with recognition:

“I struck all the work of your hands with…hail…”
(Haggai 2:17)

Discipline like that ought to be obvious, Jesus

unless the person You’re correcting
doesn’t believe in You –

or doesn’t believe You’re willing to use extreme measures
to turn around someone You truly care about.

They might chalk up the hailstorm to “natural causes”

ignoring the fact that every so-called “natural cause” out there
comes from Your hand.

I know better, LORD!

Now I need to act like it.

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

“…you shameful nation…”
(Zephaniah 2:1)

You not only keep track of nations, Jesus

but of every single person in them.

In reality, it’s not the nation that’s shameful

but the sum of the people within it.

If the majority of them repeatedly make bad choices

the nation itself becomes corrupt.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way!

If my nation is one of those in growing jeopardy
we can change…

and the change can ignite through me.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…you have plundered many nations…”
(Habakkuk 2:8)

Some nations are like that, Jesus.

So are some people.

They’re not happy with what You’ve given them.

They want more.

So they steal for themselves

what You’ve given others.

Some of them get away with it

for a while.

But as surely as You’re the righteous Judge

a day of reckoning is coming

swiftly for some
later for others

but from the moment they cross that line

it’s on the way.

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“…on the day they are made ready…”
(Nahum 2:3)

When Ninevah’s enemies were ready

bad things happened.

But the reverse is also true!

Wonderful things happen when I do everything within my power
to get ready for You to do
what only You can do.

I’m not fooling myself.

I know I can’t make my dreams come true.

Only You!
Only You!
Only You!

But You expect me to give it all I’ve got

while I wait for You.

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

“Do not my words do good to the one whose ways are upright?”
(Micah 2:7)

Yes they do, Jesus.

I can personally attest!

When I’m weak, Your words give me strength.
When I’m afraid, Your words give me courage.
When I’m in pain, Your words bring me healing.
When I’m in despair, Your words fill me with hope.

And on the day when I am about to draw my last breath

Your words give me absolute assurance

of eternal life.
