Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected…and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he…suspects her even though she is not impure—then he is to take his wife to the priest.”
(Numbers 5:11-15)

Such things have to be settled, Jesus.

Sometimes by You through us
sometimes by You alone

in Your Way
in Your Time.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”
(Malachi 3:1)

You gave this revelation to Malachi, Jesus –

more than 400 years before it was fulfilled
in your cousin John the Baptist.

Your Way. Your Time.

Always perfect.

My way. My time.

Usually flawed!

May I always remember how much You know

and how little I know

how much You see
how little I see.

So when You do it differently than I would

on a different schedule

Help me trust You

completely.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’”
(Philippians 2:14-15)

There’s a payoff for doing life Your way, Jesus!

There’s always a payoff.
A very good payoff.

It seldom happens when or how or where I imagined it would

but when it does, I’m blown away.

Still the greatest payoff of all for doing things Your way

is the certain knowledge that I’m putting a smile on Your face.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, ‘Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you.’”
(2 Samuel 3:12-13)

Just like that, Jesus –

The commander of Saul’s army gives up and switches sides to David.

That just doesn’t happen!
Unless You make it happen.

O God!

In Your Way and Time
make it happen for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:23)

This wasn’t the life Ruth thought You were going to give her, Jesus

but trusting You, she embraced it anyway –

and oh, the reward that was finally hers!

Help me follow her example

believing with everything in me that in Your way and time

every promise You’ve made to me
will come true.

Stand strong! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.”
(1 John 2:18)

Truer words were never spoken, Jesus.

There are a lot of anti-You people running around these days
tearing up jack.

They’ve chosen the wrong side.
They prefer their way to Yours –

primarily because they have no idea
what Your way is all about.

But the Day is coming

when they will find out.

Help me never stop telling them about You!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.”
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

I’m Your willing captive, Jesus!

I surrender all.

March me anywhere You like.

Use me in any way You desire.

Do with me whatever You please.

I say this because I’ve learned the hard way:

You alone know what’s best.

Your way?

An aromatic fragrance.

My way?

A putrid stench.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
(1 John 2:17)

Well, sign me up for Your will, Jesus!

I’ve come to the place where I don’t trust my will.
The only will I trust is Yours.

I don’t know enough to tell You which way I want to go.

As a matter of fact, I no longer care where I go
so long as I go where You want me to go.

Your will. Your way.

Always and forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He has…lifted up the humble.”
(Luke 1:52)

You humble those who toot their own horns, Jesus

and honor those who don’t have a horn to toot.

You also honor the owners of many horns
who toot them not for themselves, but for You.

You own all the horns. You created all the people.

So long as I acknowledge those facts and live accordingly
I have every reason to trust that in Your good way and time

You’ll lift me up.
