Pray this Lazaroo with deep conviction:

“The sons of Ulam were brave warriors who could handle the bow. They had many sons and grandsons—150 in all.”
(1 Chronicles 8:40)

The ability to handle a bow is a gift, Jesus.

Without that gift, no one can be great at it.

But just because I’ve been given a gift

doesn’t mean I don’t have to develop it
and practice, practice, practice.

Show me the gifts You’ve given me, Holy Spirit!

and give me the determination to develop them
to their full, life-changing potential.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

And what a grace-filed gift it is, Jesus –

to tell others about You.

Not just to those who’ve already heard

but to those who’ve never heard Your Name one time!

Most of us can’t go to those faraway places

but we can give sacrificially to You
and help those who can!

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 became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
(Acts 2:37-38)

Straightforward question…

straightforward answer, Jesus:

the gospel in a nutshell.

When people ask me what to do

may I be just that straightforward.

Pray this Lazaroo in soul-deep gratitude:

“…the descendants of Aaron were given…their pasturelands.”
(1 Chronicles 6:57)

It’s great to have houses in cities, Jesus

…but oh, those pasturelands!

wide-open expanses of grass and wildflowers

where a breath of sweet fresh air can be deeply inhaled
where livestock can graze on Your bounty.

I don’t have to own pasturelands to thoroughly enjoy them.

Their beauty is available to all who pass by
reminding us that whether we worked to acquire them or not

they’re still a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“The season of singing has come…”
(Song of Songs 2:12)

I’ve tasted that season, Jesus!

I’m ready to experience it again.

Of course, referring to it as a “season” reminds me that it never lasts.

It has its time
then gives way to a season in which there is less singing

and sometimes more weeping.

But that too gives way to other seasons –

like those that offer bright, happy days of rejoicing
mixed with the unwelcome gift of suffering.
