Pray this Lazaroo in total trust:

“Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.”
(Acts 2:43-45)

Were these the greatest days of Your Church, Jesus?

Was this the purest expression of what You had in mind
when You laid down Your life for us?

You’re the Same – yesterday, today and forever.

Great God:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Now it is your turn!”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

Normally, Jesus –

when it’s finally my turn, I’m so happy!
I’m filled with excitement!

Not this time.

You’re telling me that if I take unfair advantage of others

I’ve planted deep into Your soil of justice a seed

that will sprout, send up shoots, bud, flower
and produce bitter fruit.

Then my turn will come to take not one bite

but to choke down every bit of it
until I vomit.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory.”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

No!

That can’t happen, Jesus.
Not if I have anything to say about it.

Well…even more importantly:
Not if I have anything I can do about it.

And I can!

I can repent of my sins and stop committing them –
especially those I’ve been guilty of, again and again.

I can obey You – instantly – when I see in Your Word
what You want me to do.

Glory!

Not shame.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”
(Micah 3:8)

It’s possible, Jesus!

That while all around me are weak, timid and afraid
You would choose to make me bold and strong.

That was true of Your prophet Micah

because He was obeying You
with every fiber of his being.

Weak or strong, bold or timid
may I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo filled with gratitude:

“He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.”
(Luke 1:53)

When we think we’ve got life figured out, Jesus

You flip the script!

There’s something about You that loves doing that, isn’t there?

I love that about You, too.

You have such a heart for those who struggle and are hurting.

You also have a heart for those You’ve richly blessed
who love to share.

But for the stingy?
Not so much.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“…filled with gladness…”
(Job 3:22)

There are lots of reasons to be filled with gladness, Jesus

but Job’s was pretty bleak.

He was so deeply depressed over the loss of his loved ones, his possessions and his health that he wanted to die.

He assumed when he did, he would be filled with gladness.

He had no clue this was happening

because You bragged about him to Satan!

Teach me to trust You

when life doesn’t make sense.
