Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.”
(Matthew 4:18-20)

When You call me, Jesus

I want to do what Peter and Andrew did when You called them:

Leave whatever I’m doing
and come running.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“…he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them. ‘Follow me,’ he ordered, ‘for the Lord has given Moab, your enemy, into your hands.’ So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Moab…”
(Judges 3:27-28)

Ehud told the truth, Jesus.

There are others who want us to follow them, however, who are lying.

You haven’t sent them..

Give us holy discernment to tell the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.”
(Mark 2:13-14)

He didn’t ask, “Where are You going?” Jesus.

He didn’t have to.
It wasn’t about the destination.

His only focus was You.

Wherever You’re going

is fine with me.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…follow along after the girls.”
(Ruth 2:9)

Good advice, Jesus –

so long as the girls are headed in the right direction
so long as they’re doing the right thing.

In this case, they were…and Ruth was safe.

But sometimes the girls – and guys – are headed straight to the pit.
Sometimes what they’re doing is the wrong thing to do.

Which is why when I follow anyone – man or woman –

I’ve got to be doubly…triply
double-dog certain

they’re following You.

Exercise Godly judgment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will go with you…”
(2 Kings 3:7)

That’s a wonderful thing to hear from You, Jesus!

It’s exactly what I should say to You, too.

But it’s something I should say to another human being

only with the greatest caution.

Even those who mean well

sometimes end up in the ditch.

The best way to say it to another person is something like this:

“I’ll go with you if God says
and so long as you’re going with Jesus.”

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Arise, come, my darling…”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

What an awesome responsibility, Jesus

to call someone I love with all my heart

to join me.

How dare I ask them to do so

if I’m not where I ought to be

and where they, too, should be?

The right place for me is seldom the right place for someone else

may not be safe for them

unless what I’m calling them to do

is to follow You

wherever You lead.
