Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the fish…vomited Jonah onto dry land.”
(Jonah 2:10)

All these miracles, Jesus!

You send Jonah to preach to Ninevah.
When he hops a boat in the opposite direction, You create a storm.
When they throw him overboard, You send a fish to swallow him.
When he repents, You order the fish to spit him out –

not into the ocean, but onto dry land!

Thank You for reminding me how serious You are

when You send me to tell others about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?”
(Amos 3:6)

Most people don’t know this verse is in the Bible, Jesus.

Many who do try to explain it away.

Others reel under its implications, forced to rethink their image of You.

You’re not the old grandfather who wouldn’t harm a flea, are You?
You’re Almighty God, who pours out wrath on wrongdoers every day.

You’re loving, forgiving, kind, compassionate, merciful

…but You absolutely hate sin.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy determination:

“…each marches straight ahead.”
(Joel 2:8)

Joel is referring to that army of supernatural locusts, Jesus –

a terrifying sight.

Marching “straight ahead” makes it sound like no matter what happened

they could not be sidetracked, distracted or stopped.

That’s who I long to be for You!

When it comes to obeying Your every command
may I be a soldier You can count on –

looking neither to the right, nor to the left
but keeping my eyes fixed on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the Israelites will live many days without king or prince…”
(Hosea 3:4)

At first, that may not have seemed like much of a threat, Jesus.

They had lived for more than a thousand years without either –
trusting Your prophets and judges to lead them.

Now, however, they had spent the last 300 years living under a king.

They were used to it.
Dependent on it.

Like I would be without You

they were leaderless…directionless.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with goose bumps:

“These are the words of him…who died and came to life again.”
(Revelation 2:8)

That would be You, Jesus.

And that gets my attention.

Yours wasn’t one of those “near-death” swoons lasting a few seconds.

You were crucified, speared, dead, embalmed, buried –
in the grave from Friday night to Sunday morning.

Then You walked out whole, triumphant!

You have the words of eternal life.

When You speak

things happen.

When You speak

I’m listening.

When You speak

I’m obeying.

Think again!…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not execute the wise men of Babylon.”
(Daniel 2:24)

Daniel was pleading for the lives of heathens Jesus.

But he had to!

…because he was being lumped in with the very men
the king had ordered to be executed.

From a distance, Daniel could have been accused

of backing the wrong crowd.

But when I know the whole story

it makes perfect sense.

How often is that the case, Father?

How seldom do I know

the whole story?

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…done in the ungodly way…”
(Jude 1:15)

Doing the right thing is important, Jesus.

But I’ve got to do the right thing
in the right way.

Yes, You want me to give to the poor

but not disrespectfully, carelessly, contemptuously.
You want me to treat them with dignity and love, as equals.

Yes, You want me to serve

but not as though I’m doing people a favor.

Instead, realizing I’m the one favored
to be so privileged to serve.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…listen carefully…”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Why wouldn’t I listen carefully…

when it’s You speaking, Jesus?

Every word of Yours is flawless.

You alone have the words of eternal life!

You spoke the worlds into existence.

I exist because You spoke me into life.

So why do I sometimes only half-listen when Your Word

is taught
sung
preached?

How dare I?

You deserve greater respect than that.

I cannot survive

let alone thrive

without the sustaining power

of Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“…even though they are strangers to you.”
(3 John 1:5)

Countless people are strangers to me, Jesus

but none is a stranger to You.

That knowledge totally changes my mindset, my spirit, my emotions

when I meet someone for the first time.

I realize You made them.
They’re Your idea.

Their gifts, talents, personality
are all designed by You.

How can I not be open to the wonder of them –

and hope they will feel the same about me?
