Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“And the Lord God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden…”
(Genesis 3:22-23)

You want us to live forever, Jesus

but not on this earth.

The longer we live on this planet

the way it is

the more we understand why!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men…at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:48-49)

You’re the one who made the king promote Daniel, Jesus.

Then You laid it on Daniel’s heart
to take his fellow Jews along for the ride.

Take me wherever You desire, LORD!

even if You have to move heaven and earth to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo in overflowing joy :

“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.”
(Psalms 8:9-9:2)

Yes, LORD Jesus! Yes!

May this Spirit of jubilant praise saturate my being

from the bottom of my heart
each and every day
all day long

no matter what!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:9-11)

I’m not waiting, Jesus!

I bow before You now.

You Are Lord of all – my Lord!

to the glory of God Your Father.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.”
(Proverbs 3:31-33)

From a distance, Jesus…

it’s easy to believe evil people
are getting away with it.

But You’ve given Your Word:

They’re not!

You alone are my hope for a great life on this earth

…and beyond.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…his works have been finished since the creation of the world…he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: ‘On the seventh day God rested from all his works.’”
(Hebrews 4:4-5)

You finished creating them, Jesus…

but they themselves weren’t finished!

You built into your heavenly bodies
an ever-evolving, ever-expanding
progression of Your glory

that stuns all who see.

What You started in motion continues to this very day

in this universe…on the earth…through Your Church…

in me.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.”
(Proverbs 3:19-20)

You didn’t just fling a few planets, stars and galaxies out there, Jesus.

You didn’t give the earth a careless glance
leaving it to become whatever.

With great wisdom, knowledge and understanding

You created an incomparably vast, ever-expanding ecosystem
that drops our jaws in worshipful admiration.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant faith:

“…it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”
(Acts 2:24)

Oh, HALLELUJAH, Jesus!

Of course it was impossible for death to keep its hold on You –
You’re the Author of Life!

All things have been created through You and for You –

things in heaven and on earth
visible and invisible

whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities.

And because by faith I live in You

it’s impossible for death to keep its hold on me!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:13)

Who among us cannot identify with those words, Jesus?

Not one.

Every human being on earth old enough to know right from wrong

knows what it is to be deceived by Satan
and to give in to temptation.

I’d do well to remember that my soul has an enemy and a name:

Satan!

So that in the strength of Your superior Name

I can tell him:

“NO!”

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“…by the King’s Garden…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

King’s Gardens are pretty close to the best gardens on earth, Jesus.

They have nearly unlimited funds to build them
the ability to incorporate the most exotic of plants
access to the most skilled gardening experts
their choice of the richest soil in the most desirable land.

But no earthly king’s garden can begin to compare

to the lavish, unimaginably stunning garden of your delights

that awaits my breathtaking arrival in heaven!
