Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“He has overthrown you without pity, he has let the enemy gloat over you, he has exalted the horn of your foes. The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. You walls of Daughter Zion, let your tears flow like a river day and night; give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest.”
(Lamentations 2:17-18)

It’s hard to see You like this, Jesus

but absolutely essential.

You’re giving me a clear picture of the horror of sin.

May I hate and reject the sin in my life
as much as You do.

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

“Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.”
(Job 7:7-8)

This is absolutely how Job felt, Jesus

but what he felt was absolutely wrong.

He spoke out of the pain and bitterness of his immense suffering

supposing they would continue till the day he died.

They didn’t.

You stepped in and rescued him!

Go and do likewise, after you pray this Lazaroo!

“One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Call the Shunammite.’ So he called her, and she stood before him. Elisha said to him, ‘Tell her, “You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you?”’”
(2 Kings 4:11-13)

I love that Elisha did that, Jesus.

So do You.

You had prompted this Shunammite woman to be good to Elisha

so he wanted You to do something special for her!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.”
(Joshua 4:9)

What an awesome reminder of that miracle, Jesus!

We need reminders.

Because too often
we forget.

That usually happens

when we ask You for something that isn’t best
and don’t get it.

Maybe I need to set up some physical reminders

of the things You’ve done for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…when they…realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.”
(Leviticus 6:4-5)

You not only show me how to repent, Jesus

but You give me extra incentive

to never do wrong again.

Pray this Lazaroo in peaceful trust:

“In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them…”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

Ashkelon was one of the most secure, well-defended cities of its day, Jesus.

Those who lived there could sleep soundly

knowing they were protected by a huge wall on the land side
and by a high natural bluff on the side facing the sea.

But may I always remember:

Without Your protection, nobody is safe.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“…the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and he died. The kingdom was now established in Solomon’s hands.”
(1 Kings 2:46)

As politically incorrect as it is to say it, Jesus

if there is to be peace

sometimes someone has to

leave
be kicked out
or die.

Whenever possible, You want us to work things out with each other.

But some people are nothing but hell on earth

until the day they draw their last, divisive breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with an open heart:

‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
(Zechariah 3:10)

That is a day, Jesus! A very special day.

It’s one thing to have enough for my family, my friends and myself.

But it’s a new day
when I have enough to share with my neighbors
some of whom, perhaps, I hardly know.

You love generosity.

But there’s a reason for that:

Unimaginable Generosity is who You Are!

Be comforted! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed! The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
(Habakkuk 2:16)

This is Your promise, Jesus:

The day is coming

when You will repay every unrepentant, evil person
for the devastation they have caused!

When I see one of them getting away with it

please remind me:

They aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with redeemed perspective:

“Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”
(Song of Songs 4:5-7)

Actually, she did have flaws, Jesus.

I don’t know what they were
but every person has them.

Solomon, however, saw her as flawless –

perfect…because that was how You created her.

Awesome Father:

Help me see everyone through Your eyes!
