Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…more than I ask.”
(Philemon 1:21)

Who does that, Jesus?

Really good people
powered by You.

Most people do less

attempting to gauge the minimum it takes to get by.

Doesn’t matter how much I ask.

They have their margins, their schedules, their limits.

Frankly, so do I.

But when I feel Your inner prompt, Holy Spirit

when You rise up within me
flooding me with conviction

I’m able to rise above myself
and be better than my best.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“You who are Gentiles by birth…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

It doesn’t matter what I am by birth, Jesus.

Maybe it does to some people.

But not to You.

What counts is the fact that I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead.

What matters is that I give myself wholly to You

trusting You alone for any hope I have on this earth
and for eternity in heaven.

Rebirth!

Walking daily in You.

That’s what matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.”
(John 1:43)

Where do You want to go today, Jesus?

‘Cause wherever that is
I’m with You.

Sometimes it’s fun.

Sometimes it’s not.

Depending on where You decide to take me, on any given day it can be

thrilling…terrifying
teaching…tiring
terrific…taxing.

But regardless of my emotions, it doesn’t matter

because there’s nowhere I’d rather be
than with You.

Every single day…all along the way…

I’m sticking to You like glue.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s men.”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

You determine the outcome of every battle, Jesus!

The size of each army doesn’t matter.

The one You declare the victor

is the one who will win.

Not some of the time.
Not most of the time.
Every time.

How many more battles will I face, Father?

It doesn’t matter, does it?

So long as I faithfully, passionately follow You

I’ll prevail in every one.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…except Caleb…”
(Deuteronomy 1:36)

Sometimes that’s what it takes, Jesus.

I have to stand alone.

When everybody else agrees to disobey Your command

I have to be willing to stick out
be ridiculed.

It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks or does or says.

The only thing that matters is pleasing You.

Because after my time on this earth

it won’t be them I’m standing before
to give account of my one and only life.

It will be You.

Pray this Lazaroo in non-argumentative submission:

“…welcome him as you would welcome me.”
(Philemon 1:17)

That’s a tall order, Jesus –

especially if I’m close to the person who’s making the request
and don’t know the person I’m supposed to welcome.

But isn’t that what You ask of me with every Christian I meet?

I’m supposed to treat them the way I’d treat You.

It doesn’t matter that they don’t deserve such a welcome.

That’s what You want
That’s what I’d better make sure You get.
