Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

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

“Mordecai told him…the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther…and… instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy.”
(Esther 4:7-8)

When Satan attacks, Jesus

give me the wisdom and clarity of mind

to know exactly what to do

to defeat him and win the victory!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The LORD thunders at the head of his army…”
(Joel 2:11)

What a frightening sight and sound that had to be, Jesus!

You on the attack.
Dear God.

At such times

may I always be behind You as a soldier in Your army
never in the hapless crowd facing You…Your army…

and certain defeat.

Whenever You gather Your troops to engage in a righteous war

call on me.

In Your power and by Your grace
I’ll be there.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“So at that time King Joram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.”
(2 Kings 3:6)

King Joram was right to set out, Jesus

and You gave him the victory he sought.

However, people sometimes set out for the wrong reasons.

Because they don’t have Your help
they experience defeat.

It’s exciting to set out, Father!

but not unless I’m absolutely certain it’s what You want me to do.

Apart from Your favor

there is no victory.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.”
(Judges 2:14)

A strong enemy is hard enough to defeat, Jesus

impossible without Your help.

From the looks of it, Your people were successful

until they turned their backs on You
and lost their Protector.

That’s not something I ever want to do, LORD!

Not just because I can’t bear for my enemies to win
but because I long to stay close to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you will worship God on this mountain.”
(Exodus 3:12)

You love to do this, don’t You, Jesus?

to turn a place of humiliating defeat
into a site of glorious triumph!

You met Moses at Mount Horeb where he was tending someone else’s sheep

informed him that he would return to this mountain

with three million people in tow
to hear Your voice and receive Your law.

O Father!

What will You do here one day

in this place
through me?
