Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.”
(Titus 2:11)

That’s just what it took for me, Jesus –

Your grace.

Not my gifts, skills and abilities

not my sterling character

not my spotless behavior.

I’m woefully lacking in all of that.

But You, in Your love, mercy and grace

plucked me from the fiery pits of hell where I was headed

saved me from myself
and chose me for Yourself.

I am eternally grateful!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him. Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.”
(Matthew 4:25-5:2)

No wonder large crowds followed You, Jesus!

You were healing every disease and sickness
delivering people from seizures, paralysis and demons
everywhere You went.

But those miracles helped people temporarily.

It’s Your teaching that transforms our lives eternally.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”
(Proverbs 4:13-15)

As instructions go, Jesus

this is one of the best:

protecting me from horrific consequences
on earth…and eternally.

Help me hold on to this instruction and never let it go!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“’…I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.’”
(Haggai 2:23)

To be chosen for something good is gratifying, Jesus.

But to be chosen by You?

Priceless.

Before You ever chose me

You knew me
because You made me.

You knew the countless sins I would commit
the mistakes I’d make

and still You chose me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

No matter what I face

no matter what trials You take me through

may I never forget that eternally life-changing fact!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“…the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”
(Daniel 2:44)

That’s my kingdom, Jesus!

Not interested in any of these kingdoms on earth.
Every one of them is doomed.

No, because of my faith in You alone

You’ve called me into Your Kingdom of Light
which has no end!

Hallelujah!

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 faith in the God who can:

“Until the day breaks and the shadows flee…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

What a beautiful way to say it, Jesus!

“Until the day breaks…”
means Solomon’s wife desires to be loved all night long

“…and the shadows flee”
means she longs to be loved until high noon.

Me too, LORD! Me too!

And You do –

all day and all night
month after month
year after year

my whole life long until I depart this earth

to exult in Your love forever!

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.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude-packed passion:

“…proclaim to it the message I give you.”
(Jonah 3:2)

That’s my assignment, isn’t it, Jesus?

Wherever You send me
I’m to proclaim the message You give me.

Sometimes the message is in words

at other times through actions, attitude.

More than a few times
it’s about what I don’t do or say.

This isn’t a temporary assignment, is it?

It’s permanent – every day, week, month, year
all the way to the end here

and into heaven eternally.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The LORD…makes alive…”
(1 Samuel 2:6)

You don’t merely allow life to happen, Jesus
Nor do You simply watch it happen.

You make it happen.

In fact, if You don’t create it

it doesn’t happen.

I’m alive because You caused me to be here

…as is true for every person on earth.

And now, through my trust in You –

Your death on the cross in my behalf

Your burial
Your resurrection

You’ve wrought something totally new:

I’m alive forevermore.
