Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands. ‘You Cushites, too, will be slain by my sword.’”
(Zephaniah 2:11-12)

No matter who You use to punish the wicked, Jesus

the sword is Yours.

You’ve given us free will

but somehow, in Your brilliance,
we all end up doing exactly
what You want us to do.

No one can thwart Your Plan of the Ages

nor Your Plan of this Moment.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble recognition:

“This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty. The LORDwill be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.”
(Zephaniah 2:10-11)

May You never be awesome to me for that reason, Jesus!

But I will rejoice with You
when You destroy all the gods of the earth.

including the idols
I battle in my own life.

Cherish it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s the beauty of it, Jesus.

You’re not sequestering Yourself in heaven
away from all the riff-raff, distant and aloof.

You created me.
You know me intimately.
You care about me and every aspect of my life.

You live in me in the Person of the Holy Spirit!

You’ll never leave me nor forsake me.

It is my unspeakably awesome privilege

to enjoy deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“For there is…one mediator between God and mankind…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

Once upon a time, Job cried:

“If only there were someone to mediate between us
someone to bring us together
someone to remove God’s rod from me
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
Then I would speak up without fear of him…”

You heard Job’s prayer, Jesus –

the cry of every heart.

From the cross more than 2,000 years later You answered it –

with Yourself.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful…high priest…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

You get it, Jesus.

Better than that:
You get me.

You know why I struggle, stumble, fall.

You didn’t –

but only because You were also God!

I’m not.
So from time to time I blow it.

If You were distant, aloof

that would be a problem.

But You came

and walked in my shoes.

 Plan with humility as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed…”
(2 Corinthians 2:3)

Sometimes that helps, Jesus.

Sometimes I can fix things from afar
prepare the way without being there.

When it works, it’s a real time-saver.

But there are times when I have to leave where I am

and go where they are.

Long distance has its benefits

and its limitations.

But which to use when?

Oh, how I need Your wisdom, Father!
Every day.
