Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
(Ephesians 3:17-19)

The depth of Your love for me, Jesus

is beyond my understanding!

Fill me all the way full with Yourself!

so in everything I think, say and do
I can love You back.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:17-18)

That’s my prayer, too, Jesus!

Root and establish me – and all your people – in love.

Grant us Your power to grasp just how much You love us

so that, filled with Your love
we will be unable to rest

until we have shared Your love
with as many as possible.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.”
(Galatians 3:17-18)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

no matter what happens in the meantime
no matter how long I have to wait.

Help me not to miss it!

when You keep Your promise
in a way and time I didn’t expect.

Take your stand on His Promise, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.”
(Galatians 3:15-16)

You, Jesus. You!

Our English translation makes that distinction easy to miss
but Paul’s explanation clears it up.

The promise is to You

and to all who put their hope in You:

past, present and future.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.”
(Micah 4:1)

Are these the last days, Jesus?

Because what You predicted
what many once thought to be unthinkable

is happening.

People are indeed streaming to the mountain of Your temple!

By the millions they’re coming from the four corners of the earth
to walk that sacred ground in full awareness

that You have exalted it above the hills.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
(Psalm 9:7-10)

You’re my Refuge, Jesus!

My Stronghold!

I know Your Name, JEHOVAH RAPHA!

You will not forsake us

for we seek You with all our hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“…the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and he died. The kingdom was now established in Solomon’s hands.”
(1 Kings 2:46)

As politically incorrect as it is to say it, Jesus

if there is to be peace

sometimes someone has to

leave
be kicked out
or die.

Whenever possible, You want us to work things out with each other.

But some people are nothing but hell on earth

until the day they draw their last, divisive breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant gratitude:

“He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.”
(2 Chronicles 3:16-17)

Yes, Jesus!

Jakin: “He establishes.”
Boaz: “In Him is strength.”

Everything that lasts has been established by You.

In You…is my strength!

Pray this Lazaroo in flat-out amazement:

“For this is what the Lord says: ‘You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink.’ This is an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord; he will also deliver Moab into your hands.”
(2 Kings 3:17-18)

You love to work through the natural order of Your creation, Jesus.

But You’re sure not limited to it!

Anytime You desire

You can supersede any law of nature You’ve ever established.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude-filled confidence:

“…he who has established me securely…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

And that You have, Jesus.

You’ve established me securely.

You’ve done it through that very promise You made to King David.

You told him he would always have a descendant to sit on the throne.

When You, descended from the line of David

paid for my sins on the cross
rose from the dead

then ascended back to Your throne in heaven

You established me through faith in You

Eternally.
