Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.’”
(Micah 4:6-8)


You love us too much, don’t You, Jesus?

We deserve so much worse.
But You give us so much better.

Pray this Lazaroo in deeper understanding:

“Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry…”
(Genesis 4:3-5)

When You correct me, Jesus

may I never react defensively.

Help me respond with a humble, passionate desire

to please You in everything I think, say and do.

Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
(Leviticus 6:6-7)

When they brought their offering to the priest, Jesus

in reality, they were offering it to You.

When I give my tithes and offerings to my church

in reality, I’m offering them to You.

Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The Lord said to Moses: ‘When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel. It is a guilt offering.’”
(Leviticus 5:14-15)

Even when I do wrong without knowing it

it’s still a sin, isn’t it, Jesus?

No excuses.

I need to confess it

and forsake it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone.”
(Songs of Songs 4:1-2)

No missing teeth!

This cracks me up, Jesus…

and teaches me to be grateful

for those You’ve placed in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin. Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons…”
(Leviticus 5:6-7)

I love this about You, Jesus!

Even while punishing our sins
You compassionately remember the poor.

May I always show them
the same, loving respect.

Take note! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…The LORD…saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived…”
(Judges 2:18)

It’s pretty important to have a Spirit-filled leader, isn’t it, Jesus?

Somebody You’ve called, who’s full of Your love and wisdom.
A person who gets guidance and direction straight from You.
A man or woman You truly love to bless.

Leaders who stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You

tend to inspire their flock to do the same.
