Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“…the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”
(Daniel 2:44)

That’s my kingdom, Jesus!

Not interested in any of these kingdoms on earth.
Every one of them is doomed.

No, because of my faith in You alone

You’ve called me into Your Kingdom of Light
which has no end!

Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with ironfisted determination!

“My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people. The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people…”
(Isaiah 3:12-14)

This is the worst, Jesus!

When the people You’ve called and equipped to lead
turn their backs on You

what are the rest of us to do?

Though our leaders forsake You

may we always and forever remain true!

Pray this Lazaroo with a higher perspective:

“I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)

Those are a gift from You, Jesus!

But not everyone gets to enjoy them.

Some of the best people You’ve created

experience a brutally hard life on this earth.

But because of their steadfast faithfulness to You

their forever is going to be oh, so sweet!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing…”
(3 John 1:9-10)

That’s one of the best ways to deal with evil, isn’t it, Jesus?

Shine a little light on it.

Spiritual darkness hates Your Light!

Satan tries to extinguish Your Light.

But he can’t!

Light overpowers darkness!

When you came to this earth as a tiny baby

You lit up the world forever and ever!

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“’May the guilt of their blood rest on the head of Joab and his descendants forever. But on David and his descendants, his house and his throne, may there be the Lord’s peace forever.’ So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and struck down Joab and killed him, and he was buried at his home out in the country.”
(1 Kings 2:33-34)

Joab got away with murder, Jesus…

for awhile.

But this reminds me that I must confess my sins

forsake them

and do only what is right!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:2-4)

You revealed this mystery to Paul, Jesus

so he could explain how, in dying for my sins

and rising from the dead

You’ve secured for me a home with You

forever in heaven!

Pray this Lazaroo in awestruck gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Philemon 1:25)

Oh, Jesus.

Your grace.

Your loving, perfect, immeasurable

matchless grace.

Everything You’ve done for me in the past.
Everything You’re doing for me right now.
Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.
Even the worst ones.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –
forever and ever and ever, without end.

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

wholly undeserved.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will overturn royal thrones…”
(Haggai 2:22)

When royalty becomes corrupt, Jesus

their fate is sealed –

unless they repent.

No matter how many generations of powerful heirs have reigned

You can bring their line of succession to a halt

in an instant.

But all who look to You and Your loving sacrifice on the cross

will reign with You forever

in the only true royalty
that endures.

My hope –

my only hope –

is in You, Jesus!
Now and forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire…”
(Habakkuk 3:13)

What a humbling thing to hear, Jesus!

That I can work my fingers to the bone every day of my life
only to have You snap Your fingers

and burn it all up?

That’s what becomes of everything I do for the wrong motives.

But O God!

Everything I do to please You

becomes eternal treasure

that will never fade, spoil, nor pass away!

Pray this Lazaroo in overflowing gratitude and love:

“He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
(Luke 1:54-55)

That’s who You are, Jesus!

Helper. Merciful. Promise-Keeper.

Just as You are doing for Abraham and his descendants

You are helping me every day of my life.
You are merciful to me beyond all comprehension.
You have kept every one of Your promises to me.

I praise You, LORD!

I give You all of me.
Forever.
