Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“But if you will seek God earnestly and plead with the Almighty, if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your prosperous state. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.”
(Job 8:5-7)

Bildad’s prediction in Job’s behalf came true, Jesus.

I don’t know what my future holds.

But this I believe:

If I seek You earnestly
if with Your help I remain pure and upright

I won’t have to worry.

Take your stand on His Promise, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.”
(Galatians 3:15-16)

You, Jesus. You!

Our English translation makes that distinction easy to miss
but Paul’s explanation clears it up.

The promise is to You

and to all who put their hope in You:

past, present and future.

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who can!

“…Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, ‘In the future when your descendants ask their parents, “What do these stones mean?” tell them, “Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.”’”
(Joshua 4:20-22)

You parted the Red Sea for Moses, Jesus.

You parted the waters of the Jordan for Joshua
as Israel entered the promised land.

You know the waters I have to cross, LORD.

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful perspective:

“So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”
(1 Corinthians 3:21-23)

It’s okay for us to be grateful for the leaders You’ve so gifted, Jesus

but not to put them on a pedestal of worship.

You’ve gifted us all…even me!

May I never forget that.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“All your enemies open their mouths wide against you; they scoff and gnash their teeth and say, ‘We have swallowed her up. This is the day we have waited for; we have lived to see it.’ The Lord has done what he planned; he has fulfilled his word, which he decreed long ago.”
(Lamentations 2:16-17)

Nothing gets by You, Jesus!

Nothing.

There’s a very good reason for that:

You know the future.

There’s a very good reason for that, too:

You make the future.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.”
(Amos 4:13)

You Are Awesome, Jesus!

To think that You, the Creator of Everything
want to spend 1on1 time with me

sharing Your thoughts
transforming my life
giving me hope and a future.

Great and Mighty One!

You’re my Best Friend.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
(Colossians 2:2-3)

When I have You, Jesus

I’ve got it all.

Everything God has, You have –

because You’re God
and God has everything.

Speaking of which:

You have me!

I’ve given myself to You, body and soul
past, present and future
nothing held back!

Which means I will always have everything I need
because I will always, always, always have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.”
(Joshua 4:6-7)

O Jesus!

Help me build into the fabric of my life
memorials to the wonderful times

when You intervened in my life!
