Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.”
(1 Samuel 3:8-9)

I haven’t heard Your Voice calling me by name in the night, Jesus.

So let me begin the conversation:

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.”
(1 Samuel 2:21)

That’s how I want to keep growing up, Jesus –

in Your holy, life-changing, me-transforming Presence!

In a sense, we all grow up in Your Presence, don’t we?

You’re everywhere!
Omnipresent!

But what You had with Samuel was closer, more intimate, wasn’t it?

He walked with You, talked with You.
You made him Your very own.

He learned to discern Your One-of-a-kind Voice.

I want that.

Pray this Lazaroo in utterly vulnerable trust:

“We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’”
(Hebrews 3:14-15)

I’m holding firmly to my original conviction about You, Jesus

because You’re holding firmly to me.

I do not share in You because I’m holding on.

I hold on because – by grace alone –

You’ve chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed faith:

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.’”
(Amos 3:11)

When we keep sinning and sinning and sinning, Jesus…

when we continually ignore Your Voice, calling us to return to You…

there’s always a “therefore,” isn’t there?

I dare not mistake your patience for powerlessness.

I don’t want enemies to overrun my land
pull down my strongholds
plunder my fortresses.

I’ve got to repent and turn it around.

Now.
