Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.”
(Ruth 3:2-3)

Naomi had it all planned out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

It worked.
Boaz and Ruth became husband and wife.

But never let me forget:

It works
o
nly when You work it.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”
(Joshua 4:2-3)

You wanted to make certain they remembered this miracle, didn’t You, Jesus?

May I never, never, never forget all You have done for me

…even if I have to erect a pile of stones somewhere!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in.”
(Jeremiah 2:32-34)

How could I ever forget You, Jesus?

And yet when I repeatedly sin the same sins

that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Pray this Lazaroo with dogged determination:

“Keep reminding them of these things.”
(2 Timothy 2:14)

Nobody likes to be harassed, Jesus.

However, everybody appreciates a reminder
of something important to them

that they are about to forget.

But what about those things that are far more important

to You, to Your kingdom and to us
than we realize?

Those are the reminders I may not appreciate

but most urgently require.

Don’t let me ignore them, LORD!

Please make me sensitive to even Your softest whisper!

Be on your guard, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…we are not unaware of [Satan’s] schemes.”
(2 Corinthians 2:11)

Paul wasn’t, Jesus

but too often, I am.

I forget that my struggle is not against flesh and blood

but against the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world
and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Holy Spirit! Remind me to put on the full armor of God

so that when the day of evil comes
I’ll be able to stand my ground
and after I’ve done everything

to stand.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Therefore, remember…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

Every day of my life You’re teaching me, Holy Spirit.

Every day of my life You’re guiding me, Father –

through the things that make life sweet
through the challenges that make life hard
through the daily grind that makes up most of life.

I don’t want You to have to repeat Yourself over and over again.

I want to squeeze every ounce of lesson
You pack into every moment of my life, Jesus

and never forget.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“So man will be brought low and mankind humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:9)

Kinda good for me to keep that in mind, Jesus.

When You generously gift me
then bless me on top of that

I can begin to take if for granted
forget from Whom my blessings flow
get full of myself

…which forces You to back off on Your blessings

until I get my nose out of the air
my head screwed back on straight
and my heart right.

Pray this Lazaroo with redoubled intent:

“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God…”
(Romans 1:28)

That’s huge, isn’t it, Jesus?

not only to hear about You
but to remember it.

How many times have I heard messages, read books, participated in Bible studies that truly impressed me and were potentially life-changing

only to look back months or years later
and not be able to recall a single thing I learned?

In fact, is it learning…

if there’s no doing?
