Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.”
(Esther 4:3)

Horrible news does that to us, Jesus!

For the Jews, this news was about as bad as it gets.

The king had issued a decree
that made it legal to destroy their entire nation.

But as You do again and again for Your hurting people

You were about to turn that bad news upside down!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I want all my words to be good, Jesus

not just some of them.

But my only hope to achieve that lofty goal

is to stay constantly in tune with You, Holy Spirit!

May every word I speak be fulfilled

because it originates with You!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“See, I will make you small among the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

That’s no threat to a small nation, Jesus.

It’s not much of a threat to one medium sized.

But if they thought it was the truth

if they knew Who was speaking –
the One Who can make good on His every Word –

that would scare the fire out of a big nation

like mine.

And given the increasing godlessness I see all around me

so it should.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing eagerness:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

May I pray that prayer over others, Jesus

and may others pray it over me.

Oh, how we need You to encourage and strengthen us

as in Your Name we perform good deed after good deed!
