Pray this Lazaroo with mounting desire:

“Seek the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

At first that sounds strange, Jesus.

You’re everywhere!
How hard can it be to find You?

Besides, You’ve come to me times beyond counting
helping me, encouraging me, rescuing me.

But there’s always more of You to discover, isn’t there?

I’m only scratching the surface.
My knowledge of You is woefully incomplete.

Your greatness knows no limit!

The only limit is how passionately, persistently, relentlessly

I desire to know, love and follow You.

Pray this Lazaroo in overflowing adoration:

“For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous…”
(Psalms 5:12)

Yes, You do, Jesus!

They follow You with their whole hearts
and reap the benefits of walking in Your footsteps

experiencing the joy of living each day
in deep, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You.

But what truly boggles my mind

is that You also bless the wannabe righteous
those not quite yet thinking, speaking, acting
as they know they should – 

…which is how I get to enjoy Your blessings.

Follow the inner prompting of the Holy Spirit as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Turn aside to the right or to the left…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

You’ve clearly commanded me Jesus:

Don’t turn aside to the right or the left
when it comes to obeying Your Word.

But Abner was warning Asahel.

When Asahel refused to turn aside
it cost him his life.

So sometimes I should refuse to change course

and at other times I’d better!

How can I recognize the difference?

Only as I follow You
every step of the way.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Their…entrails [will be poured out] like filth.”
(Zephaniah 1:17)

Well, so much for those who think You’re into sugarcoating things, Jesus!

That’s about as graphic as it gets.

The image is awful to visualize
let alone see
let alone experience.

But You’re making a point.

This is how You’ll treat some
who turn back from following You

who refuse to seek You
to ask for Your help.

Not me, Father!

I’m determined to follow You to my death.

 Pray this Lazaroo, in wholehearted devotion: 

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

You go ahead of me in countless ways, Jesus…

but right now I’m thinking of two.

The first is mind-bogglingly miraculous:

Before I think a thought, say a word, make a move, You know it.
You’re already there, waiting for me.

The second is even more beautiful:

when You’re always ahead of me on my journey
because I’m following You every step of the way.
