Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Though you, Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty.”
(Hosea 4:15)

A command like that is hard to obey, Jesus.

Certainly, a person caught in sin might wish for better
for someone they truly love.

But it’s incredibly hard to tell someone:

“Don’t do as I’ve done.
Do as I say.”

A bad example is a tall, tall mountain to climb.

From this moment forward, help me set a good example

for everyone I want to see live for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
(Acts 2:37-38)

Straightforward question…

straightforward answer, Jesus:

the gospel in a nutshell.

When people ask me what to do

may I be just that straightforward.

Get ready! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”
(Colossians 1:28-29)

That’s what I need more than anything, Jesus –

Your powerful energy!

My problem isn’t ignorance.

I have a pretty good idea of what You want me to do.

But enough time’s been wasted.
Now I’ve got to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you have an anointing from the Holy One…”
(1 John 2:20)

I can’t begin to tell you how much that means to me, Jesus!

Though I’m wholly undeserving

because I’ve put my eternal hope in You as my Savior

Your anointing rests on me.

Your Protection.
Your Presence.
Your Guidance.
Your Blessing.
Your Healing.
Your Favor.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I can’t keep this to myself, can I?

Everyone needs Your precious, life-changing anointing.

Please work through me to let them know.

Qualify for these promises, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
(Proverbs 3:24-26)

You’re not making this promise to everyone, are You, Jesus?

This happy state of affairs is for those

who do not let wisdom and understanding out of their sight
and preserve sound judgment and discretion!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”
(Philemon 1:25)

When my spirit is low, Jesus

it affects everything I think, say and do.

It dramatically and negatively affects

all the people who come
into contact with me
including those I love and need the most.

But when I realize I’m the recipient of Your loving, unmerited grace

my spirits begin to lift!
I have hope!

which in turn raises the spirits
of everyone around me.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.”
(Colossians 1:28)

Everyone? Fully mature in You, Jesus?

Now, that would be an all-time miracle!
Especially for the likes of me.

But that’s exactly the miracle for which I pray –

not only for all my brothers and sisters in You
but also for me –

the least deserving
lowliest follower
of them all.

And yet…

I believe!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, ‘What then is this child going to be?’ For the Lord’s hand was with him. His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: ‘Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.’”
(Luke 1:66-68)

What am I going to be, Jesus?

Just because I’m what I am now
doesn’t mean the last chapter has been written.

Whatever the answer
may I bring glory to You!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then the LORD raised up judges…”
(Judges 2:16)

When we need judges…

that’s who You raise up, Jesus.

You always provide everyone and everything we need.

Of course, I don’t always know what that is.
Maybe I should say I seldom know what it is.

So when You provide it

I may not recognize it.

I may mope, rage, or fear, wondering why You don’t answer

when in fact Your answer has already arrived
sitting on my front porch.

Pray this Lazaroo in fiery dedication:

“Listen, all you peoples…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s quite an opening line, Jesus.

Jeremiah isn’t merely speaking to a group of his friends.
He isn’t limiting his remarks to those under the hearing of his voice.
He doesn’t aim his words at the nation of Israel alone.

Instead, he sends this message to everyone on earth

not only to those living in his day
but to all people of all time

including me.

Why?

They’re not his words.
They’re Yours.
