Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Be comforted! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed! The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
(Habakkuk 2:16)

This is Your promise, Jesus:

The day is coming

when You will repay every unrepentant, evil person
for the devastation they have caused!

When I see one of them getting away with it

please remind me:

They aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about…”
(Daniel 2:27)

I love it, Jesus!

When the king asked Daniel if he could interpret his dream
Daniel could have said, “Absolutely! I can do it! I’m your man!”

But he didn’t.

Instead, he revealed his inadequacy, his inability
his utter dependence on You.

May I never be afraid to confess my limitations

and my total, complete, wholly dependent reliance

on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 2:8)

Seriously, Jesus?

They actually tried to hide from You –
the One who made them –

and the trees they were cowering behind?

There’s no hiding from You, is there?

Nor – unless like Adam and Eve I’ve sinned –
would I ever try to.

So since this whole “hiding from You” thing is utterly futile

help me refocus my mind, passions and energy

on wholehearted, guilt-free

obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-led discernment:

“They will secretly introduce destructive heresies…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

That’s the worst kind, Jesus.

A heresy – teaching something contrary to Your Word –
is bad enough.

Some heresies are factual mistakes –

perpetrated by people who mean well
whose scholarship is lacking.

In some cases their error is troubling, but limited.

However, when someone deliberately sets out to deceive Your people

in order to destroy them?

Their Satan-inspired lies will be exposed and sent to hell

along with those who crafted them.

Pray this Lazaroo with Scriptural discernment:

“‘Do not prophesy,’ their prophets say.”
(Micah 2:6)

No false prophet wants to hear what one of Your prophets has to say, Jesus.

When Your prophets speak
false prophets are in danger of being exposed.

False prophets thrive on speculation, misinformation, manipulation, obfuscation.

Your prophets love, honor and worship You

which makes them lovers of the truth
the whole truth
nothing but the truth.

They don’t care who tells them to shut up.

They can’t.
They won’t.

Not ever.

Pray this Lazaroo in awe:

“…light is better than darkness.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:13)

Yes it is, Jesus…

when I long to see
when I want to stay safe
when I hope to understand
when I need to keep from falling.

But darkness also has its merits.

You didn’t say darkness isn’t good.
You made it, too.

Darkness is good for sleeping

enjoying candlelight
watching movies
seeing stars.

It’s also good for hiding things

temporarily

until the day comes

when You turn on the light.
