Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it…”
(1 John 2:21)

John was writing to those who believe in You, Jesus

not to those who had rejected You

which means He’s also writing to me.

I believe in the truth that You are God

that You came to this earth
to save us from our sins

by dying on the cross
then rising from the dead

to give all who believe in You eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Now I say…to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets…’ hold on to what you have until I come.’”
(Revelation 2:23-25)

O Jesus!

May I always be counted among those

who haven’t learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets
and who hold on to what I have till You come.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-prompted discernment:

“If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
(James 2:16-17)

But it has to be the right action, doesn’t it, Jesus?

Because of Your Spirit in me, I want to help everybody.

Yes, the way to help some people
is to give them what they want.

However, with others, that’s not help.
Giving them what they want…

would destroy them.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”
(Luke 1:47)

So does mine, Jesus!

2,000 years ago Your followers thought all was lost
because they saw You crucified, dead, buried.

This in spite of the fact that You told them in advance this would happen
and that on the third day You would be raised from the dead.

Then they saw You, ate with You, touched You

and believed!

I’ve done none of those things…yet.

But by faith

I will.

Pray this Lazaroo in awestruck gratitude:

“The LORD…brings down to the grave and raises up.”
(1 Samuel 2:6)

The fact that You can take me out at any moment is sobering, Jesus

but it’s one thing to end a life
quite another to resurrect it.

Sadly, there are a lot of people out there who – accidentally or on purpose –

can make my heart stop beating.

But after I’m dead and buried

You’re the only one who can make it start beating again.

I’m with You.

Pray this Lazaroo and be flooded with hope:

“They are…twice dead.”
(Jude 1:3)

Can’t get much worse than that, Jesus.

Not only were they dead to You now…

You knew their future:

They would remain dead to You eternally.

All of that while they were still moving, acting, breathing!

Dead people walking.

How many of those around me are twice dead, Father?

It’s not always apparent, is it?

Some of those who look most alive are corpses.

And some who look impossibly hopeless
You will utterly transform.
