Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Why do you now cry aloud—have you no king? Has your ruler perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion…you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.”
(Micah 4:9-10)

When my sins have cost me my home, Jesus

is all lost?

No.

Even in a strange and foreign land

You can rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Tuesday, January 30, 2024

 

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.”
(Philippians 2:17-18)

That sounds reasonable, Jesus…

until I realize Paul was referring to his coming martyrdom
for sharing his faith.

Paul had made such an impact for You

that Your enemies wanted to kill him for it.

There are many places in this sin-sick world where that can still happen.

If those were my stakes
would I be willing to take that risk for You?

Pray this Lazaroo in patient confidence:

“In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies. He says to himself, ‘Nothing will ever shake me.’ He swears, ‘No one will ever do me harm.’”
(Psalm 10:4-6)

From a distance, Jesus

that’s the way it seems.

While the righteous suffer

it looks like the wicked are doing just fine.

But You’ve made it clear:

Their day is coming.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice…I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.”
(1 Kings 3:10-12)

You had already given Solomon enough wisdom to ask for the right thing, Jesus.

He had just enough
to know he needed more.

That’s about how much wisdom I have.

I know for a fact:
I need more!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Barak said to her, ‘If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.’ ‘Certainly I will go with you,’ said Deborah. ‘But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.’”
(Judges 4:8-9)

Through Your prophet Deborah

You commanded Barak to battle Israel’s enemies.

But he was unwilling to go without Deborah.

May I always obey You LORD
regardless of who tags along.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, ‘The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.’ Also our enemies said, ‘Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.’”
(Nehemiah 4:10-11)

Lies, Jesus. All lies.

That’s who Satan is:

a liar.

May I never allow the false words of my friends or enemies

to hinder my service to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…astrologers came forward and…said to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘…Your Majesty has issued a decree that…whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews …who…neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.’”
(Daniel 3:8-12)

These conniving enemies of Yours thought they had it all figured out, Jesus.

But they were wrong!

You were about to turn their schemes back on them.

I’d sincerely appreciate it if You’d do the same

to all my unrepentant enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“All your enemies open their mouths wide against you; they scoff and gnash their teeth and say, ‘We have swallowed her up. This is the day we have waited for; we have lived to see it.’ The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago.”
(Lamentations 2:16-17)

Nothing gets by You, Jesus!

Nothing.

There’s a very good reason for that:

You know the future.

There’s a very good reason for that, too:

You make the future.

Be humbly forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.”
(2 Peter 2:10-11)

What a lesson, Jesus!

Even though You command me to resist the demonic work
of those powerful angels who followed Satan

because You created them
I’m to treat them with respect

as I do my earth-bound enemies.
