 Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith: 

“…all of you who live in Jerusalem…”
(Acts 2:14)

What an honor to live in Your chosen city, Jesus!

What a privilege
what a responsibility

what danger.

Countless millions hate Jerusalem, Father!

what she stands for
along with the people who live there.

Again and again throughout history she has been the center of attention.

But because You love her

there is coming a day when what happens within her borders
will determine the future of the world.

Think again…as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32)

Unthinkable, Jesus!

You created the heavens and earth
parted the Red Sea.

You were born to a virgin
healed the sick, cast out demons

In love, You gave Your life for me on the cross
rose from the dead

so then, like a spoiled child who doesn’t always get his way because he doesn’t begin to know what’s best for him

I don’t trust You with this?

Unthinkable.

 Pray this Lazaroo with eyes of faith: 

“…he saw Jesus passing by…”
(John 1:36)

I do want to see You, Jesus!

but not passing by.

I long to see You walking toward me

a big grin on Your face
Your arms open wide to give me a bear hug

ready to get an excited, scrufty cub hug right back. 😉

Now that I think about it…looking back on my life…

that scene has been repeated over and over and over again.

Wow.

Thank You!

 Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender: 

“They were responsible for…everything related to their use.”
(Numbers 3:31)

You’ve given some people glamorous assignments, Jesus

while others of us have been chosen to bat cleanup

busing the tables
sweeping the floors
carrying out the garbage

after those who throw huge parties.

Do You love the party-throwers more than You love me, Jesus?

Does my humble service go unnoticed by You?

No.
On both counts.

You’ve said it and I’m banking on it:

The last
will be first.

 Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude: 

“May it be to me as you have said.”
(Luke 1:38)

Do any words please you more, Jesus?

I might say I love You…
then complain about the lot in life You’ve chosen for me.

It’s so easy to be jealous when I see the amazing things You’re doing for someone else

not realizing that while I’m feeling sorry for myself

someone is staring hard at me from a distance

jealous because of how good You’re being to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted devotion:

“He shall remove all the fat…”
(Leviticus 4:19)

Okay, Jesus…

I know You’re telling the priest what to do with the bull they’re about to sacrifice as a sin offering.

But am I hearing an inner prompt from You, Holy Spirit?

Are You telling me there’s some fat I need to remove from my life?

Where am I wasting precious, irretrievable time?
What activities and behaviors are clogging up my spiritual arteries?

Please show me.
It’s got to go.
