Pray this Lazaroo with limitless faith:

“…the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. She called her husband and said, ‘Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.’ ‘Why go to him today?’ he asked. ’“It’s not the New Moon or the Sabbath.’ ‘That’s all right,’ she said.”
(2 Kings 4:20, 22-23)

He didn’t get it, Jesus.

It didn’t occur to Him that You could raise the dead.

How many times have I underestimated Your Power?

Please: Help me get it!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Yes, I’m Yours, Jesus – You know it!

But that doesn’t mean I can continue in these old sins.
In Your power, help me overcome them!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May my life bring You honor, dear LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Happy New Year! Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We have heard a message from the Lord…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Oh, we’ve heard Your message, Jesus

and that’s good.

But the question is:

What have we done with what we’ve heard?

We are without excuse:

The evidence about Your Majesty and Power is everywhere.

Just like seeing the awesome things You do

hearing Your Word

should be believing.

But the majority of people ignore what they see and hear

and listen instead to Satan’s lies.

Not me, this year, LORD!

Not me.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…be like…a young stag on the rugged hills.”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

This is truly intimate, sacred lovers’ language, Jesus!

But this kind of energy in the face of challenge
is exactly what I long for!

There’s no escaping it:

You lead me to rugged hills!

In Your wisdom and power

You call me to climb them, endure them, conquer them.

If I’m to succeed, I’m going to need a double helping

of Your spiritual version of young stag strength! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“They will come trembling to the LORD and to his blessings…”
(Hosea 3:5)

What a fascinating juxtaposition, Jesus:

“trembling”…and “blessing.”

So as I look at this, here’s what I’m wondering:

Do You bless those who approach You with trembling?

Well, I know You bless everyone in ways beyond counting.

But do You reserve a special blessing for those
who tremble because they recognize more than most

Your greatness, majesty, wisdom, love and power?

Awesome God!
I come trembling!

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 all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“They also repaired five hundred yards of the wall…”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

Five football fields, Jesus – more than a quarter of a mile…

…of wall!

No small feat.

But of course, that word, “repaired” means

that much of the wall was broken down.
Talk about discouraging. Overwhelming!

Then there’s that other word: “also.”

That tells me this wasn’t the only task staring them in the face.

But working in Your strength, power and protection, they did it!

So can I.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown amazement:

“With praise and thanksgiving…”
(Ezra 3:11)

You kinda like it when those two go together, don’t You, Jesus?

The praise because of Who You Are
The thanksgiving because of what You’ve done

and continue to do…and do…and do.

But to do either I have to pay attention, don’t I?

I’ve got to dismiss the idea of chance, luck, circumstance.
I’ve got to recognize that it is You! All You!

If I can’t do that

I still don’t know You.
