Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Say to Aaron and his sons:…‘The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in the sanctuary area, in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.”
(Leviticus 6:25-26)

You told them what to do

where to do it

and how to do it, Jesus.

Do that for me!

Well…actually, You’ve already done that in Your Word.

Maybe I should obey those
before begging for more direction.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house…”
(2 John 1:10)

The people who enter my home influence me, Jesus

for good or bad.

They can encourage me in the right direction

or hinder me from following You with my whole heart.

The people I permit to enter my home

also send a message to everyone on the outside.

Rightly or wrongly, my acceptance of them
causes people to conclude I agree with them.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things…carrying or doing other work…This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”
(Numbers 4:26-28)

Somebody had to do it, Jesus.

The Gershonites were it.

My guess?

To carry all those heavy items they had to be pretty strong.

When You assign me a job
You always equip me to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo with deepened, determined understanding:

“…was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”
(James 2:25-26)

I have faith in You, Jesus. I do.

Because that’s true
my actions will show it.

But if there is no behavior to back up my faith

the reality of my faith
can be called into question.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart…”
(Colossians 2:2)

What an awesome goal, Jesus!

That’s who I long to be to those around me:

an encouragement.

But it’s not merely saying a nice word or two, is it?

It’s encouraging people’s hearts

letting them know I truly care about them
being there for them when they’re down

telling them the truth they need to hear
in a way that gives them direction and hope.

Because that’s the kind of encouragement I need!

Take note! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…The LORD…saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived…”
(Judges 2:18)

It’s pretty important to have a Spirit-filled leader, isn’t it, Jesus?

Somebody You’ve called, who’s full of Your love and wisdom.
A person who gets guidance and direction straight from You.
A man or woman You truly love to bless.

Leaders who stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You

tend to inspire their flock to do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Gather together, gather together…”
(Zephaniah 2:10)

When You say it once, I’ve got to pay attention and obey, Jesus.

But when You say it twice?

Whew! I need to get out my highlighter
and bump it up to the top of my agenda.

What are You saying to me through Your prophet Zephaniah?

They quit turning to You for counsel, direction and help, didn’t they? –
turning instead to others they trusted more.

Message received and recorded.
Loud and clear.
