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

“…you see something dreadful and are afraid. Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth, deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’? Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.’”
(Job 6:21-24)

Job had no clue that You were proving his greatness to Satan, Jesus.

Help me trust You, LORD!

even when to me
what’s happening makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“So the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”’”
(Genesis 3:14-15)

On the cross You crushed Satan’s head, Jesus!

and you deliver me from his every strike at my heel.

Trust in the LORD, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.”
(Psalms 7:1-2)

Your ancestor King David wrote this song to You, Jesus

concerning Cush the Benjamite
who was falsely accusing him.

David was crying out to You for protection –

as do I, LORD!

You’re my only hope

against the immense harm of false accusations.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.”
(Psalms 6:4)

David is asking you to turn toward Him, Jesus –

as though You had looked away.

Of course, You hadn’t!

But sometimes when we’re in deep distress
it feels like it.

I know:

You never turn Your back on me.

You’re always right here, watching over me

sustaining me through every anguishing trial

using it to teach me
and make me strong.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“What I feared has come upon me…”
(Job 3:25)

Why do You allow this to happen, Jesus?

Is it because You want to show me

that because I have You
I have nothing and no one to fear?

You don’t want me to live in fear, do You?

I don’t want me to live in fear, either!

So since we’re agreed

please deliver me from all fear

except the fear of displeasing You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They look like flaming torches…”
(Nahum 2:4)

That’s not what they were, Jesus

but it’s sure what those invading chariots looked like.

When fear grips my heart…when I’m under attack…

my mind can play tricks on me
my emotions can skew what I perceive.

Deliver me from that weakness, LORD!

May my well-founded faith in You be so strong
that when Satan launches his offensive

I am calmer, braver and sharper than usual –

my every move
guided by You.

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

“…their heart is filled with destruction.”
(Psalms 5:9)

The idea of having someone like this for an enemy is terrifying, Jesus!

They’re not content with doing wrong.
Not willing to stop at trying to entice me to sin.

It’s not enough for them to hurt me.
They won’t be happy until they’ve destroyed me.

But the idea of ever allowing a person like this to be my friend?
Thinking I can handle it?

Deliver me, my God!
Deliver me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But you brought my life up from the pit…”
(Jonah 2:6)

That’s Your specialty, Jesus –

bringing my life up from the pit –

perhaps because that’s where I’ve spent way too much of my life.

Sometimes I knew exactly where I was
down, hurting, defeated, depressed.

At other times – blind as a bat –
I thought I was on the mountaintop

when in reality, I was mired even deeper in the pit.

But You! In Love! Every time!

lift me out.
