Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.”
(Philippians 2:17)

Can I say that, Jesus?

Is it okay with me if I appear to fail so others can succeed?

I know I should say it.

More importantly, I know I should wholeheartedly embrace it.

Clearly, I have a long way to go

but You see into my heart:

You know I want to get there.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”
(Malachi 3:1)

You gave this revelation to Malachi, Jesus –

more than 400 years before it was fulfilled
in your cousin John the Baptist.

Your Way. Your Time.

Always perfect.

My way. My time.

Usually flawed!

May I always remember how much You know

and how little I know

how much You see
how little I see.

So when You do it differently than I would

on a different schedule

Help me trust You

completely.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

I might think I’ve found a little hidey-hole, Jesus

a place where I can do what I want to do

unseen by others
safe from all harm.

But if I think that, I don’t know You.

You. See.
You. Know.

There isn’t anywhere I can go to hide from You.

So next time I head to my hideout

help me think, say and do
only what brings honor to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin. There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.”
(Amos 5:9-10)

You see what’s going on, Jesus!

To us, it feels like You refuse to do anything about it.

It does, that is…

until in one moment
You utterly ruin the wicked!

Help me to trust Your perfect way and time.

You alone know

When
How
Why!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish. Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence. Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.”
(Psalm 9:18-20)

All too often, Jesus

the powerful trample on the needy.

But You see what they’re doing.

Everyone You’ve created is precious to You –
especially the poor, the hurting, the downtrodden.

It is You who are their Defender

who will take up their case.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“She said to her husband, ‘I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.’”
(2 Kings 4:9-10)

When I take care of those You have called into Your service, Jesus

You see.
You approve.

And oh, my LORD!

You bless.

Seek correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.”
(Jeremiah 2:36-37)

Egypt and Assyria are not my problem, Jesus.

But you see. You know.
Is there anything or anyone I’m trusting instead of You?

If so, show me!
I hereby reject them

and fully, wholeheartedly, irrevocably embrace You!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If you have any…compassion…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Some people don’t, Jesus –

at least not that I can tell.

Of course, maybe they have it, but I’m not seeing it.

I might be expecting them to show it in one way
while they’re showing it in another.

Maybe I have such a focused agenda, such strong opinions

that I’m totally blind
to the different expressions of compassion in others

…as they may be to mine.

But You see.

That’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…see…the oppression among her people.”
(Amos 3:9)

You do see, Jesus!

You see and care.

That means so much to me!

To know it breaks Your heart too
is comfort in our sorrow.

But even more, to know that You’re All-Powerful

and that even while the oppression is going on
Your plan to intervene in Your perfect way and time

is operational.

It’s my responsibility to fight oppression.

But You’re the only one who can stop it in its tracks.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“He built the Most Holy Place…”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

What an honor, Jesus!

To be the person who constructed
the room holding the ark of the covenant –

more sacred than any other place on earth –

the unique focus of Your Presence among us.

Of course, Solomon didn’t do it himself.

As it is today…
it was the unnamed workers
who actually performed Your holy work.

You know which of us merely point

and which bend our backs to the labor.
