Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I also want women to dress modestly…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

You want men to do the same, don’t You, Jesus?

Wow. Even the way we dress matters to You!

Please help me remember that every time I select an article of clothing:

“Is this pleasing to You, LORD?
Or do You prefer I wear something else?”

Some people would think that’s going too far with this 1on1 with Jesus thing, wouldn’t they?

But You don’t.

So neither do I.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

Strong words, Jesus.

Hard to hear.
But even worse, hard for You to see:

Your people worshiping other gods
instead of remaining faithful to You.

That’s exactly how You view me

every time I put someone or something
ahead of obedience to You:

as a prostitute.

Help, LORD!

That’s not what I want You to see when You look at me.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Fear:

“…you said, ‘I will not serve you!’”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

What a foolhardy, terrifying declaration, Jesus.
Most of us aren’t that blatant with our defiance.

We give you lip service that makes us sound righteous
until our disobedient actions reveal our words to be lies.

That’s not my intent, LORD!

I know I’ve overpromised and underperformed.
But every time I promise You something I mean it.

Please help me overcome my weakness!
I so long to obey You.
Every time.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“However, as it is written…”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

“However,” indeed, Jesus.

If I move out on my own
pull me back to You with:

“…as it is written.”

Every time I’m with people who are about to do wrong
give me the courage to take a stand for:

“…as it is written.”

Your Word is a lamp to my feet, a light on my path.

Make me willing to break away from those
who have no Light of dawn.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Men of Israel, listen to this:”
(Acts 2:22)

Because of what You had just done, Jesus

You had their attention.

So Peter proceeded to seize the moment and tell them about You.

Sounds like a plan!

But how often have I been totally oblivious?

How many times have I failed to recognize my opportunity?

O God!

Please help me recognize very time
You’ve grabbed their attention.

Then help me seize that priceless moment
to tell them about You.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s men.”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

You determine the outcome of every battle, Jesus!

The size of each army doesn’t matter.

The one You declare the victor

is the one who will win.

Not some of the time.
Not most of the time.
Every time.

How many more battles will I face, Father?

It doesn’t matter, does it?

So long as I faithfully, passionately follow You

I’ll prevail in every one.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“They were in great distress.”
(Judges 2:15)

Been there, Jesus.

But not, I hope, for the same reason they were.

You were fighting against them!

And of course, You were winning.
Every time.

Your people turned away from You to false gods and idols

provoking You to anger.

Not me, LORD! Never!

May all my great distress be caused by Satan
because I remain true to You.

I know You’ll fight my battles and utterly defeat him.

Every time.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But you brought my life up from the pit…”
(Jonah 2:6)

That’s Your specialty, Jesus –

bringing my life up from the pit –

perhaps because that’s where I’ve spent way too much of my life.

Sometimes I knew exactly where I was
down, hurting, defeated, depressed.

At other times – blind as a bat –
I thought I was on the mountaintop

when in reality, I was mired even deeper in the pit.

But You! In Love! Every time!

lift me out.

 Pray this Lazaroo in heightened motivation: 

“They performed their duties according to the regulations laid down for them.”
(1 Chronicles 6:32)

A lot of us perform our duties, Jesus

sort of.

Sometimes we do them

sometimes we do at them.

Here’s my problem, LORD:

quite a few of my duties
aren’t all that much fun

which tempts me to do them halfheartedly
a temptation to which I succumb

all too often.

I’ve gotta clean that that up, don’t I?

You deserve my best
every time.
