Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving holy intent:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

You gave the entire promised land to the descendants of Jacob, Jesus

even though Esau was the firstborn
the one traditionally in line to receive the inheritance.

But Esau had no heart for You

didn’t value what You value.

So he lost his chance

leaving the descendants of his younger brother
to rule over the whole land.

O God!

May what I value
perfectly align with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,’ declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.”
(Amos 3:13)

Some things are hard to hear, Jesus

so we plug our ears
making noises with our mouths
engaging in frenetic activity

trying to keep Your warnings of doom
from penetrating all the way to our hearts
forcing us to repent.

But it’s the hardest messages from You

that I most need to hear, isn’t it?

Forgive me, LORD!
I’m listening.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting expectation:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…”
(Nahum 2:2)

This is such awesome news, Jesus!

There was a day when Your people – descendants of Jacob –

were the greatest nation on earth.

Then they turned their backs on you and followed after other gods

forcing You to remove Your hand of blessing from them.

But another day is coming, when Israel will recognize You as their Messiah

as I do now

in anticipation of the Day of Your Splendor.
