Pray this Lazaroo from a heart full of praise:

“…the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Clearly, that day hasn’t arrived, Jesus –

though it’s long, long overdue.

On every day since anyone in heaven or earth existed

You should be the only one exalted.

Everything good that we think, say, have or do

comes from You.

I can’t control what others do or don’t do about that

but I am determined to exalt You alone
each and every day on earth
and throughout eternity.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only One who is from everlasting to everlasting:

“…the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.”
(1 Peter 2:24)

Everything we know has a beginning and an end, Jesus…

except You.

You had no beginning. You have no end.

You’ve always been.
You will always be.

Your Word is the same, because Your Word flows from You!

Your Word stands forever.

If I stand on Your Word

then I, too –

though I have had a beginning –

will have no end.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted anticipation:

“…the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.”
(2 Timothy 2:10)

It would have been enough if you had only saved me from hell, Jesus

‘cause at the end of my life
that’s exactly what I deserve..

But no – You’re going to lift me straight up into heaven, too!

The fact that it’s not hell
is enough to make it heaven.

But the experience in heaven You’re designing for me

is one that brings with it eternal glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who makes it count:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

An emotion that strong seldom happens early in life, Jesus.

It takes years of putting all a person’s energy
into first this thing, then that

to discover how much of it doesn’t amount to

a pile of rotting leaves.

O God! May that not be my fate!

Teach me to remember:

Only one life will soon be past.
Only what’s done for You will last.

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…before the appointed time arrives…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus –

there is an appointed time.

I’m not some pebble haphazardly bumping down the mountainside.

I have appointments

set by You

that I cannot break.

Nor do I want to!

They’re key milestones along my path.

Get me ready me for them!

Especially for that final appointment on this earth

the one with death

that will usher me into an eternity of new, awesome appointments

forever with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom…”
(Daniel 2:23)

There’s no wisdom like Your wisdom, Jesus!

Human beings spout a form of wisdom
that is no wisdom at all.

It’s short-sighted, ultimately false
predicated, as it is, solely on what the eye can see.

But Your wisdom is eternal.

You take into account the whole scope of creation
from the very beginning through ages unknown.

Give me the wisdom of Your Big Picture, Father!

Every time.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in the coming ages…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

Most people settle for their three score and ten in this age, Jesus.

Not me.

Because I’ve put my hope in You alone

You’ve promised me the rest of this age
and all the ages to come.

And the best part?

I’ll only be shackled inside the limitations of this body
for the tiniest portion of it.

The rest of the time I’ll enjoy the limitless capability of my new body

like Yours.
