Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?”
(Job 8:8-10)

What refreshing, humble words of wisdom, Jesus!

May I never be counted among the proud
who regard older saints with disdain

as though modern times
make their counsel irrelevant!

Technology changes.
People don’t.

The hard-won experience of the aged

is priceless.

Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4-5)

Persecutions are scary things, Jesus.

In this, I’m like Paul:

When someone I love
is battling through a horrible experience
my biggest concern is the impact on their faith.

To those enduring the devastation of Satan’s vicious attacks

help me be a blessing!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“When Esther’s eunuchs and female attendants…told her about Mordecai, she was in great distress. She sent clothes for him to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. Then Esther summoned…one of the king’s eunuchs…and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.”
(Esther 4:4-5)

Help me not to judge the actions of others, Jesus.

I don’t know what they’re going through!

May I show them the same compassion I want to be shown

when my actions are offensive to others.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“Jonah started into the city.”
(Jonah 3:4)

Beginnings are crucial, Jesus!

Without them, nothing gets done.

But starting a task that seems doomed to failure is especially hard.

That’s why Jonah ran the other way
when You assigned it to him.

Still, successful completion of the task isn’t the most important thing.

Obedience to You is.

Only after I obey

do I get to find out if You will bring it to completion.

Because only You can.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…when the report…was found to be true…”
(Esther 2:23)

First I have to check it out, don’t I, Jesus?

If I don’t personally know and trust the source
I can’t take for granted that everything I hear is true.

But what if I investigate it and find out this juicy tidbit is a fact?

What then?

Do I just mindlessly go about blathering it all over creation?

I can’t do that either, can I?

Some things shouldn’t be repeated.
