Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”
(Proverbs 5:3-6)

This is true of every temptation Satan offers, Jesus.

Help me always give him one, emphatic, nonnegotiable reply:

“NO!”

Pray this Lazaroo in won’t back down confidence:

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day…”
(Habakkuk 3:2)

I am so tired of people saying it doesn’t do any good to pray, Jesus!

Many believe You no longer perform miracles.

But You’re the same  –  

yesterday, today and forever!

There’s nothing You can’t do!

Every miracle You’ve performed in the past
You’re fully able to do today.

So along with Habakkuk I beg You:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says: ‘There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail.’”
(Amos 5:16)

Though You had repeatedly warned them, Jesus

Your people refused to listen.

They took credit for the blessings You had bestowed upon them

mistreating those less fortunate.

O God! May I never have to be taught

what it’s like to have You against me

instead of for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to bring to the Lord on the day he is anointed…The son who is to succeed him as anointed priest shall prepare it. It is the Lord’s perpetual share and is to be burned completely. Every grain offering of a priest shall be burned completely; it must not be eaten.”
(Leviticus 6:20, 22-23)

You want those who come after us to learn early on, Jesus:

A specific portion of the work we do isn’t meant to fill our bellies.

It’s to be offered in love to You.

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 in sober anticipation:

“But who can endure the day of his coming?”
(Malachi 3:2)

I will, Jesus.

So will every person who has put their trust in You.

Nor will we merely endure it.

We will rejoice!
C
elebrate!
Triumph!

But those who’ve rejected You?

Those who refused to make You Lord of their lives?
They won’t be able to endure it.

They’ll weep!
M
ourn!
Wail!

and be thrown into the fiery furnace of burning sulfur
where they will writhe in anguish forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“’I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.’ And he said to me, ‘This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.’”
(Zechariah 5:2-3)

What a dramatic way to reveal this timeless truth, Jesus:

You hate thievery and lying.

Therefore, those who engage in those behaviors

will be banished from Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.”
(1 Peter 2:13-14)

It’s a spiritual crime, Jesus

to disobey those You’ve placed over me.

That’s a game-changer!

I will do my best to obey those in authority

who are obeying You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
(Romans 3:19-20)

Well, I’m certainly conscious of mine, Jesus.

My sins stare me in the face.
I live with their consequences.

But Hallelujah!

Through my faith in Your death and resurrection
I’m no longer under the law!

Pray this Lazaroo in the assurance only God can give:

“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.”
(Matthew 4:23-24)

Every disease, Jesus

and every person.

There’s no part of my body You can’t heal

because You’re the one who made it.
