Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.”
(Joshua 3:11-12)

When You go before me, Jesus

I can’t fail!

Only when You’ve gone before me

can those You’ve chosen to go with me

be of any help!

May I never rely on the expertise of my family, friends or team.

Only You. Only You. Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.”
(2 Corinthians 2:17)

You reward everyone who serves You, Jesus!

Some earn their living serving You and Your people.
Others serve You and Your people without pay

on this earth.

But oh, the untold treasure they’re laying up in heaven!

where moth and rust do not destroy
and strangers, friends, family and the government

cannot steal.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.”
(Mark 2:4)

How many people would have given up, Jesus?

Probably most of them.
They would have said, “Sorry, we can’t get you in.”

But these men risked everything to bring their friend to You!

O God! Make me such a friend!

Feel His loving warmth, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But, dear friends…”
(Jude 1:17)

When somebody gets ready to correct me, Jesus

I prefer it to be as a “dear friend.”

Jude wasn’t lying.

That’s how he truly felt toward his brothers and sisters in You.

But You’re the One who gave these words to Jude

to share with us.

With me.

That’s how You see me, isn’t it?

Not only as a person You’ve created,
as a sheep in Your flock

but as Your dearly-loved

Personal friend.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing passion:

“This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven.”
(Colossians 1:23)

This is the gospel – the good news – that I’ve heard and believed, Jesus.

It’s the gospel that many of my friends and family have heard.

It’s changed our lives.

But although You have proclaimed it to every creature under heaven

not every creature has been as blessed as I’ve been

to hear it.

It’s my responsibility to tackle that problem.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobriety of mind:

“So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people…”
(Malachi 2:9)

To be despised – if it’s only by one or two people –

is painful, Jesus.

To be humiliated with somebody watching

is awful.

But to be despised and humiliated before everybody?

Family, friends, total strangers?
Pretty close to unbearable.

What would cause You to do something like that to a person?

Maybe because they’ve tried to make everyone they know
despise and humiliate You.

Take courage as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So she sent them away…”
(Joshua 2:21)

Rahab sent Your spies away, Jesus

because they had reached an agreement.

Of course, there are other reasons to send people away.

The first that comes to mind
are those people I have no business being with.

They might be friends, business associates, neighbors.

They may be members of my own family.

But there’s no escaping it:

Bad company corrupts good character.

So what if they won’t leave?

Then I have to.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…their heart is filled with destruction.”
(Psalms 5:9)

The idea of having someone like this for an enemy is terrifying, Jesus!

They’re not content with doing wrong.
Not willing to stop at trying to entice me to sin.

It’s not enough for them to hurt me.
They won’t be happy until they’ve destroyed me.

But the idea of ever allowing a person like this to be my friend?
Thinking I can handle it?

Deliver me, my God!
Deliver me.
