Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt passion:

“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich…”
(Revelation 3:17-18)

I know I’m not “rich,” Jesus –

not the way the church of Laodicea claimed to be.

Nevertheless, I fully embrace Your counsel to them:

Sell me Your gold refined in the fire –

so I can become rich
in those ways only You desire!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.”
(Philippians 2:17)

Can I say that, Jesus?

Is it okay with me if I appear to fail so others can succeed?

I know I should say it.

More importantly, I know I should wholeheartedly embrace it.

Clearly, I have a long way to go

but You see into my heart:

You know I want to get there.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.”
(2 Corinthians 4:10-11)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

Not the explanation I was hoping for
but the one I fully embrace

confident that You know better than I do.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”
(Proverbs 4:7-9)

It doesn’t do a whole lot of good to have opportunities, tools and ability, Jesus

if I don’t know how or when or why or where or with whom
to use them.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Their teaching will spread like gangrene.”
(2 Timothy 2:17)

False teaching is so like gangrene it’s scary, Jesus

bringing spiritual death to all who embrace it.

Gangrene occurs when there is no blood flow to arms, legs, toes and fingers

just as false teachers deny the saving power
of Your blood shed for us on the cross.

Muscles and internal organs can die from spreading infection

in the same way the sins promoted by the false teacher
destroys their followers from the inside.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:23)

This wasn’t the life Ruth thought You were going to give her, Jesus

but trusting You, she embraced it anyway –

and oh, the reward that was finally hers!

Help me follow her example

believing with everything in me that in Your way and time

every promise You’ve made to me
will come true.

Seek correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.”
(Jeremiah 2:36-37)

Egypt and Assyria are not my problem, Jesus.

But you see. You know.
Is there anything or anyone I’m trusting instead of You?

If so, show me!
I hereby reject them

and fully, wholeheartedly, irrevocably embrace You!

Wednesday, December 15, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God of true wisdom:

“There is a time for everything…a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away…”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4-6)

Jesus, some people insist

that winners never mourn, scatter
stop embracing, throw away…

and of course, they never, ever give up!

But that’s not Godly wisdom, is it?

Sometimes, that’s exactly what I have to do.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel. Should you not embrace justice, you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones; who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”
(Micah 3:1-3)

 

Not physical cannibalism, Jesus.

Spiritual.

Abuse.
Lies.
Misinformation.
Neglect.

You view, judge and punish it:

as cannibalism.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
(Colossians 1:27)

Absolutely, Jesus!

A rich, glorious, glory-anticipating total mystery
that I gladly embrace with all my heart

to the very marrow of my bones:

You!

The Creator of the universe and everything in it
King of kings and LORD of lords
Savior of everyone in the world who believes

living in me!

Oh, HALLELUJAH!
