Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Then Deborah said to Barak, ’Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?’ So Barak went down Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men following him. At Barak’s advance, the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword…”
(Judges 4:14-15)

When You give me Your Word, Jesus

I’ll go.

Your Word never fails.

So long as I obey Your Word
neither will I.

Pray this Lazaroo in brokenness and trust:

“We sent Timothy…to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

Destined for them?

You know I don’t like to hear this, Jesus!

When I’m wholeheartedly following You

I wish You would reward me
by sparing me from the heartaches of life!.

So why don’t You?

Because the testing of my faith produces perseverance

which enables me to fully mature in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house…”
(2 John 1:10)

The people who enter my home influence me, Jesus

for good or bad.

They can encourage me in the right direction

or hinder me from following You with my whole heart.

The people I permit to enter my home

also send a message to everyone on the outside.

Rightly or wrongly, my acceptance of them
causes people to conclude I agree with them.

Passionately call on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”
(Nehemiah 4:4-5)

You hear the prayer of Your desperate followers who are doing Your will, Jesus!

I qualify as desperate.

Now I just need to make sure I’m following You

and doing exactly what You’ve called me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Bold and arrogant…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Bold is good, Jesus –

provided it’s accompanied by total dependence on You.

But when coupled with arrogance?

Bold is always bad –

sometimes immediately
sometimes later.

There are times when bold arrogance appears to work

but that’s only when there’s a long fuse

leading to the moment
when it blows up in their face.

Which is not to say timidity is the answer!

Why be timid

when humbly following You
enables me to be bold as a lion?

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest. Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, ‘Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.’”
(1 Kings 2:35-36)

Solomon was just following his daddy’s orders, Jesus.

King David knew what was necessary
to firmly establish his son’s throne.

I’m ready and willing to follow Your orders, Father!

Command me.
I’ll obey.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…Jesus saw them following and asked, ‘What do you want?’”
(John 1:38)

Is it possible that You’re asking that of me, Jesus?

You see me following You…
do You want me to tell You what I want?

Without question, You have the power to give me anything and everything I could imagine.

But the more I think of it
the easier it becomes to answer that question:

Because what I really want
is whatever You want to give me.
