Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.”
(Job 7:7-8)

This is absolutely how Job felt, Jesus

but what he felt was absolutely wrong.

He spoke out of the pain and bitterness of his immense suffering

supposing they would continue till the day he died.

They didn’t.

You stepped in and rescued him!

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel. Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, now that Ehud was dead. So the Lord sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.”
(Judges 3:31-4:2)

You keep supplying Your people with helpers, Jesus.

They keep repaying Your kindness by disobeying You.

There are consequences for that kind of behavior –
consequences I don’t want to reap.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“You have wearied the Lord with your words. ‘How have we wearied him?’ you ask. By saying, ‘All who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord’…”
(Malachi 3:17)

That’s like saying You don’t care, Jesus!

…that Your Word doesn’t matter
that we can live any old way we like

while You shrug with a half-smile on Your face
and say, “Oh, well, that’s cool.”

But it isn’t.

For those who deliberately flaunt Your loving laws

one day they will discover to their horror:

it’s very, very hot.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.”
(Song of Songs 4:9)

You have stolen my heart, Jesus!

with one Promise from Your Word

followed by a thousand more

with Your death on the cross for me

followed by Your resurrection
and the certainty that because You live
I will live forever with You also.

Correction:

You didn’t steal my heart.
It was Yours before time began.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

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

Yes, Jesus.

I’ve seen.
You can make me very, very small.

But that’s a good thing, right?

It is, if I accept Your discipline

humble myself

and totally surrender to You.

May I never rebel

when You do what You have to do
to correct me.

Keep me small in my own eyes, Father!

even if You bless me in the future

recognizing 100% of the time:

every good thing comes from You.

Go on high alert, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.”
(Ezekiel 4:1-2 )

You weren’t telling Ezekiel to play toy soldiers, Jesus.

You were creating an object lesson
to warn Your people of what was coming.

What’s my object lesson, Father?

Give me eyes that see!

Go to school, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Lord says, ‘The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, strutting along with swaying hips, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
(Isaiah 3:16-17)

You hate haughtiness, Jesus.

Absolutely hate it.

As a result, You punish it.

Every time.

May I never allow a hint of haughtiness to enter my thoughts, words, actions…

or the way I walk. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn self-appraisal:

“My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within; my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed…”
(Lamentations 2:11)

I could say the same about the people in my country, Jesus!

They’re racing down a steep slope of disobedience
heading straight for a cliff that will plunge them to their death.

But do my eyes fail from weeping
Am I in torment within?
Is my heart poured out on the ground?

We desperately need revival

but how much do I really care?
