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!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In [Jesus Christ our Lord] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
(Ephesians 3:12)

Not beside You, Jesus…

in You.

Not through faith in myself…

but only through faith in You.

It is in You and through faith in You that the great barrier between human beings and God can be crossed.

It was our sin that created that barrier.
Okay. In my case, it’s my sin.
Mine.

But You died in my place on the cross

so I could enjoy You with freedom and confidence!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:3-4)

And so we’re blessed with another uplifting word from Solomon, Jesus.

For somebody so wise
he sure was in a snit of depression.

But he was almost right about one thing:

People in heaven are definitely happier
than those of us still on earth!

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 in sobered awareness:

“After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die.”
(Numbers 4:15)

When the oxen stumbled and Uzzah took hold of the Ark of The Covenant

You struck him down, Jesus
and he died.

When it comes to Your holy things, You don’t mess around!

Neither should I.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
(Matthew 3:2)

Those words of John the Baptist resonate today, Jesus!

He was the one prophesied by Isaiah –

“A voice of one calling in the desert…”

He was the one prophesied by Malachi –

“I will send you the prophet Elijah…”

to prepare the people for Your coming.

You came! Preached! Healed! Died! Resurrected!

Shocked the world!

I’ve got to repent of every wrong thought, word and action.

You’re coming again.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.”
(1 Kings 2:25)

Adonijah was Solomon’s brother, Jesus

but for his conniving attempt to overthrow his younger brother –

whom You anointed king –

he paid with his life.

The first time Adonijah proclaimed himself king

Solomon warned him never to pull a stunt like that again.

But in Adonijah’s case
forewarned was not forearned.

Dear LORD:

Help me learn from this hard example!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down?”
(2 Samuel 2:22)

Abner had the ability to kill Asahel, Jesus

but he didn’t want to.

He knew if Asahel continued to press his attack, he’d have to defend himself

and it would end badly.

But of course, Asahel thought he could kill Abner, so he refused to listen

and it cost him his life.

O God!

Eradicate from my life every shred of empty bravado
and every foolish pursuit!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“If we died with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

That’s a disconcerting thought, Jesus

at first.

I mean, the very idea of dying is disturbing.

Having company while I do it doesn’t help a whole lot.

But when I realize that that the One I’m dying with is You

identifying with what You did for me on the cross
and making the irrevocable decision to die to my sins

that’s just about the greatest death
I could possibly imagine.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But Asahel would not stop…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

Asahel was racing toward certain death, Jesus.

Abner warned him again and again.

Asahel wouldn’t listen
wouldn’t stop.

So he died.
Totally, his own fault.

You will only warn me so many times, Holy Spirit.

If I don’t stop, the consequences are on me.

Maybe it’s to make better choices.
Maybe it’s to end destructive friendships.
Maybe it’s to stop saying something.
Maybe it’s to change my behavior.

Help me listen!
