Pray this Lazaroo in grateful wonder:

“…they sang to the LORD: ‘He is good; his love to Israel endures forever.’”
(Ezra 3:11)

Everybody can sing that first line, Jesus!

But that second line?

Everybody can sing it
but not everybody can identify with it.

Israel is Your treasured possession, Your people chosen above everyone on earth!

Only those descended from Abraham
can personally embrace the promise of that last line

…along with those who, like I
trust in You with the faith of Abraham!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

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

I do have encouragement, Jesus!

And I know where it comes from:

You.

Satan is the discourager.

You’re the Encourager.

Every day – in countless ways –

You show Yourself strong for me.

Of course, I have to have eyes to see it.

Some days I don’t.

I’m so focused on the one or two things I don’t like

that I fail to see the innumerable evidences
of Your love, mercy and grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

That’s the last thing I want, Jesus!

I know You’re unimaginably longsuffering.
I know You’re loving, merciful and kind.
You’re unbelievably patient with me.

But there’s a line, isn’t there?

One I’d better never cross.

The thing is, I can’t see it, can’t tell when I’m close.

So I’d better turn around now

change whatever I know needs to be corrected
while I still can.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This company of Israelite exiles…will possess the land…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s not usually how it works, Jesus…

until You step in and work it!

Normally, exiles have no power, no leverage to make anything significant happen.

They’re outsiders. Most of them merely subsist.

But when You rise up in the heart of the weak to do great and mighty things

who can stop them?

Rise up within me, LORD!

In Your love, wisdom and power
rise up within me.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“…had from the beginning.”
(2 John 1:5)

Some of Your commands came later, Jesus

but a handful were inserted deep in our hearts
right from the beginning.

It’s always been right to see what You’ve created

then bow in worship
in stunned awe

and give You thanks.

It’s always been wrong to murder the unborn and aged

no matter what some supreme court declares.

It’s always been right to love others

grateful for the love You continually show us.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given love:

“If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”
(1 John 2:15)

This is a hard teaching, Jesus.

It’s easy to love the world
because I can see it in all its stunning beauty

It’s harder to love You as You deserve –

because although Your love for me is amazing
and Your works are everywhere to behold

You Yourself are invisible.

That’s probably why so many religions resort to idols.

But I choose to love You!

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw-dropping amazement:

“…the splendor of his majesty!”
(Isaiah 2:10)

Everywhere I look, Jesus

I stand in awe
at the splendor of Your majesty!

When I look into Your sky in the morning and see Your clouds racing by

I marvel at their beauty.

When I look into that same sky at night and glimpse innumerable stars

I’m filled with wonder.

When I’m captured by the miracle of a newborn baby

I can’t help but be stunned
by Your incomparable love.
