Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…what I dreaded has happened to me.”
(Job 3:25)

They hang over all of us, Jesus –

these fears of what might happen.

You spare us from so many of them!

Hallelujah! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

But not from all.

Sometimes, what we most wanted to escape
grabs us around the neck in its cruel clutches.

The thing is…

You could have kept that from happening.

But You didn’t.

Because in deep, faithful love

You know best.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject repentence:

“…stand firm…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)

Is there any other way to stand, Jesus?

Sadly, yes.

Have I ever been wishy-washy in my stand for You, LORD?

speaking up for You some of the time
but not in others?

Have I ever been timid in my stand for You?

fearful, squeamish, unconfident.

Have I ever been absent in my stand for You?

failing to show up.

If so, O God! Forgive me!

May I from this moment forward

stand firm.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…they had no regard for the LORD.”
(1 Samuel 2:12)

I see those words and I know they’re true –

because everything in Your Word is true.

But I can’t relate, Jesus.

How can anyone disregard You?

Oh, I know – Satan has a way of blinding people.

But this blind?
This mule headed stupid?

My guess is they’re determined to block You out

because they don’t want to be accountable to You.

But that’s not going to work, is it?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I came to you in…fear…”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

What, Jesus?

The great Apostle Paul approached one of his assignments

in fear?

Why?

You had worked miracle after miracle through him

like raising the dead.

I would have thought he’d be fearless!

Besides, there’s a Biblical command:
You tell us not to fear.

But obedience is one thing

emotion is another.

Like Paul, please help me obey You to the end

to the letter

no matter how much I fear.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“…that you would all share my joy.”
(2 Corinthians 2:3)

That seldom happens, Jesus.

For one thing, some of my joys are private
known by no one else…or by only a few.

Then, too, the very thing that makes me happy
may make someone else sad…mad…or fearful.

Even my closest friends and family have

different personalities
different perspectives
different life experiences.

But it truly enhances my joy when others share it!

So please – help me share theirs with them.
