Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“The Lord their God…will restore their fortunes.”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

When things were going well for me, Jesus, I loved it.

I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I discovered:

It wasn’t.

My sins caused some of it – maybe all of it.

But it might have simply been
that You needed me to fight some of Your battles.

If my suffering is caused by sin, I’ve got to repent!

Either way, I long to live once more

under the spout
where Your glory comes out!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the two officials were hanged on a gallows.”
(Esther 2:23)

When it was discovered that these men were plotting to assassinate the king, Jesus

it cost them their lives.

But this was no isolated, meaningless incident.

You used it as one of an amazing series of events
to save the lives of Your people in Persia and Media.

O God! Your greatness continually astounds me.

You are working in literally everything that happens
large or small.

Including this.
Right now.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the exiles…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

It’s no fun to be an exile, Jesus!

to be kicked out of my home, my homeland
the place I thought would be mine my whole life

…until I discover the better place
You’ve held in store for me.

Maybe the mistakes I’ve made put me here.
Maybe the sins I committed got me booted out.

Or maybe I was obedient to You
and this is my reward.

No matter!

Because of You

this is better.
