Pray this Lazaroo in Godly wisdom:

“Then the king said, ‘Bring me a sword.’ So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: ‘Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.’”
(1 King 3:24-25)

My guess, Jesus?

Solomon wasn’t about to do what he threatened.

This was a test –

to discover which woman
was the mother of the living baby.

Help me want the best for the one I love

even if it means I must do without.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.”
(Joel 2:29)

It’s happening, Jesus –

right before my very eyes.

I’m seeing men and women who are looking more and more like You!

They’re rising up, setting the pace
urging the rest of us to join them
in living our lives the way You had in mind

when with incomprehensible love
You laid down Your life for us on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him…”
(3 John 1:12)

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

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 with single minded dedication:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself.”
(3 John 1:12)

There aren’t many people that no one dislikes, Jesus

but some of them lead a secret life that would horrify their admirers.

It’s exceedingly rare to find someone who in Your eyes deserves the accolades of everyone.

I’m no Demetrius.
Not by a long shot!

Nor is it my goal to be liked by everyone.

But it is my goal for You –

Who looks deep into my heart –

to be pleased with me in every way.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with full confidence in God:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:17-18)

I know You can do it, Jesus.

I just don’t know if You will do it!

But this much I know:

You’ll do what’s best.

And I’ll trust You no matter which.

Ask big! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then I said, ‘Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now…No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.’ ‘Very well,’ he said, ‘I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.’”
(Ezekiel 4:14-15)

Did Ezekiel talk You out of it, Jesus…

or was this a test?

Sometimes I don’t get what I want because I didn’t ask.

Even so, You say yes

only when it’s Your will!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.”
(Acts 3:8-10)

As You perform most of my miracles Jesus –

You remain unseen.

But every once in a while

You display Your power in a way
that even doubters cannot deny!
