Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…”
(Philemon 1:6)

Do I ever need my understanding deepened, Jesus!

Certainly, that requires time each day in Your Word
Seasons of prayer, as I pour out my heart to You
and seek Your Face.

But it also requires action.

As I study and pray
You want me to go and grow

through ministry to Your people
and navigating among those
who are not Your people.

Stand firm! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:5)

For someone who devotes their life to invest in others, Jesus

that has to be one of the most terrifying fears.

Defeat the tempter!
Send him back in utter failure!

May Your people become everything You’ve created us to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries in the house of God. They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning.”
(1 Chronicles 9:26-27)

May I always guard the place where Your people meet, Jesus!

It may be constructed of wood, brick, canvas, bamboo or stone

but it’s sacred!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.”
(Habakkuk 2:20)

You love to hear the praises of Your people, Jesus!

You listen to all our thoughts and words.
You see every one of our actions.

But there’s a time for silence, isn’t there?

The silence that comes from jaw-dropping awe
as we consider

Who You Are
What You’ve Done
What You’re Doing
What You will do

in our lives

and throughout the world!

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted adoration:

“…to the church that meets in your home…”
(Philemon 1:2)

That’s how it started, isn’t it, Jesus?

In addition to gathering in the temple courts

small groups of Your people
met together in one another’s homes.

There they ate together
studied Your Word together
prayed together.

Certainly, we have awesome electronic tools at our disposal

to facilitate those two ways of meeting as Your Church.

But can we possibly improve on that simple plan today?

No.
We can’t.

Go on high alert, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.”
(Ezekiel 4:1-2 )

You weren’t telling Ezekiel to play toy soldiers, Jesus.

You were creating an object lesson
to warn Your people of what was coming.

What’s my object lesson, Father?

Give me eyes that see!

Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“The couriers went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered.”
(Esther 3:15)

The deadly plot Haman hatched against Your people

quickly spread throughout the kingdom, Jesus

leaving fear in its wake.

No matter!

What you had planned for Haman and all like him

was about to backfire

and bring about their total destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring’…”
(Haggai 2:23)

Why were You so pleased with this governor of Judah, Jesus?

It was because He had the courage to obey You!

He delivered Your warning to Your people
even though it was the last thing they wanted to hear.

He valued pleasing You
ahead of pleasing them.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?”
(1 Samuel 2:27, 29)

We think we’re getting away with it, Jesus

…but we’re not.

You see every underhanded thing we do.

Help me keep my hands on top of the table!
