Pray this Lazaroo bursting with confidence:

“When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews, and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, ‘What are those feeble Jews doing’”
(Nehemiah 4:1-2)

To my enemies, Jesus

I may look feeble.

But if my enemies are Your enemies

my enemies are underestimating what You’re able to do

through one of Your feeble followers
who puts all my trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“They destroyed the towns, and each man threw a stone on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up all the springs and cut down every good tree. Only Kir Hareseth was left with its stones in place, but men armed with slings surrounded it and attacked it.”
(2 Kings 3:25)

And so it goes for Your enemies, Jesus.

May I never doubt for a single moment:

Sooner or later, in Your perfect time
they’ll get theirs.

Watch your step! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel, they… said, ‘Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God…’”
(Ezra 4:1-2)

It’s a fact, Jesus:

Your enemies will sometimes pretend to be my friends.

Oh, how I need Your guidance, Holy Spirit!

Help me see through them!

May I never be so desperate for friends

that I fall for their lying deception.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…as he promised…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

That’s You, Jesus…all the way.

You’ve made countless promises to those You love
and to Your enemies

and You keep every one of them.

We’re not used to that from anyone else!

Even the best of us fail to keep all our promises –

not because we’re unwilling or don’t try –

but because we’re human.

Sometimes we write checks
that our wishful thinking humanity can’t cash.

Thank God!
You have no such limitation.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.”
(Esther 2:15)

There’s no way that happens, Jesus

without Your favor.

No matter how hard I try, how well I do

there will be somebody out there who doesn’t like me.

Certainly, I wish that wasn’t the case. I want everyone to accept me.

But there are plenty of people who don’t like You –
and You’re perfect.

So I guess I’ll be content

with sharing Your friends
and Your enemies.
