Pray this Lazaroo with a full heart:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
(Colossians 2:6-7)

What a great state to be in, Jesus –

“overflowing with thankfulness!”

When I think of all You’ve done for me –

starting with the love You showed
when You paid for my sins on the cross –

I have every reason to let my thanks overflow!

Pray this Lazaroo in submissive awe:

“Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.”
(Acts 3:17-18)

We can’t seem to get our heads around this, Jesus…

how You turn our worst behavior
into the fulfillment of Your Purposes for all time.

Whether we zig or zag makes no difference to You.

In Your Sovereignty,

Your will

will be done!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad”
(Isaiah 5:3-4)

I don’t know what more You could have done for me, Jesus!

I only pray that when You look at the results
of Your loving investment in me

You will find more good grapes
than bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.”
(2 Peter 2:13)

So let me get this straight, Jesus…

these people are shamelessly sinning like crazy
and still going to church?

You detest that.
They won’t get away with it.

Please let me know

if there’s something I can do or say to turn them around

before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.’”
(Esther 4:15-16)

Great God!

Give me the courage of Esther!

In Jesus’ Name.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“The Lord said, ‘What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.’”
(Genesis 4:10-12)

What have I done, Jesus?

I deserve to be a restless wanderer…

but in Your stunning mercy to me through the cross

I rest in Your loving arms!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called…‘Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.’”
(Ezekiel 9:3-4)

Place that mark on my forehead, Jesus!

I’m brokenhearted about what is happening in my country
and around the world.

Because I’m faithful to Your Word

may many others receive that mark.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

That’s both a harsh word, Jesus

and an immensely comforting one.

Do I want everyone to get what they deserve?

No.

In that case, I’d go to hell.

But when evil people arrogantly, relentlessly, unrepentantly harm others?

The purity of Your righteousness
demands an accounting.

Nevertheless, I will pray for their repentance and restoration

until it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter adoration:

“What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, that you examine them every morning and test them every moment? Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do?”
(Job 7:17-20)

It’s overwhelming, Jesus –

to realize You’re hearing my every thought

my every word

seeing everything I do.

Overwhelmingly wonderful!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep respect:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to the Israelites: “Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.”’”
(Numbers 5:5-7)

I’ve gotta believe, Jesus…

if we followed Your rule today

a lot fewer of us
would choose to wrong another.
