Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…without…disputing.”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

You’re not commanding Your Church to be only “yes people,” Jesus.

We’re allowed to disagree, to share alternative views
so long as they’re based on Your Word
and not mere opinion.

But what You forbid is disputing – argumentative disagreement –

the kind that is disrespectful, disruptive, disorderly.

Disputing destroys the unity of Your Church
which is so crucial to Your mission!

Show me how to respectfully offer a different view

while trusting You for the outcome.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“The LORD said to Moses…”
(Numbers 3:40)

I know You talked to Moses, Jesus, which is why we have –

Genesis…Exodus…Leviticus…Numbers…Deuteronomy…
Psalms 90…maybe the book of Job.

You gave Your Word to us through at least 40 different people

over approximately 4,228 years.

When I read the Bible, I’m not reading some person’s made-up ideas.

I’m reading Your Words to me.

That’s why my heart burns within me

when I read, hear and understand Your Word!

…my life forever changed.

Pray this Lazaroo with a committed, fervent spirit:

“…see the great unrest within her…”
(Amos 3:9)

Could there be a more timely and fitting prayer, Jesus?

Amos penned these words in 766 B.C. – nearly 3,000 years ago!
But they’re as current as today’s breaking news.

The COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak
world governments in turmoil
rabid political divisions within countries
persecution of Your people around the globe

But Your words through your prophet remind us:

This ain’t nuthin’ new.

You handled it then

and You’ll handle our 2020 issues just fine.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“I will give it to them…”
(Jeremiah 1:39)

You promised to give Your people the land of Canaan, Jesus.

You were as good as Your Word.

Of course, it was the children of those who left Egypt who got to enter the Promised Land.

Those who rebelled against You in the desert missed it.

Out of the two million or so adults who began that journey

exactly two completed it.

I beg You:
Finish what You started in me!

Pray this Lazaroo in awareness of His Presence:

“So many gathered that there was no room left, not even outside the door…”
(Mark 2:2)

What a moment, Jesus!

You were in the house!
It was standing room only – inside and out.

That’s what ought to be in every one of Your churches.

If only people believed that You Are Present –

in full glory and power –

there wouldn’t be enough room to hold the people.

Thank God, You are there!

in every church that faithfully preaches Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo with supreme confidence:

“’…the word of the Lord stands forever.’ And this is the word that was preached to you.”
(1 Peter 1:25)

It’s the only word worth preaching, Jesus.

No matter how sincere, no matter how well-researched
no matter how firmly based on hard-earned personal experience

my word won’t stand.

Try though I might, mean it with everything in me
I’m still flawed – because I’m human!

It’s inevitable: I will make mistakes.

But!

When my word agrees with Yours
I’m flawless.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Is there no prophet of the LORD here…?”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Good question, Jesus.

When You place a prophet among us

we need to know it and pay attention
to whatever You proclaim through them.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Prophet or none, I can go to You directly, Holy Spirit!
I can always turn to the sure guidance of Your Word.

That way, when someone shows up claiming to be a prophet

I can check ‘em out. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“However, as it is written…”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

“However,” indeed, Jesus.

If I move out on my own
pull me back to You with:

“…as it is written.”

Every time I’m with people who are about to do wrong
give me the courage to take a stand for:

“…as it is written.”

Your Word is a lamp to my feet, a light on my path.

Make me willing to break away from those
who have no Light of dawn.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only One who is from everlasting to everlasting:

“…the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.”
(1 Peter 2:24)

Everything we know has a beginning and an end, Jesus…

except You.

You had no beginning. You have no end.

You’ve always been.
You will always be.

Your Word is the same, because Your Word flows from You!

Your Word stands forever.

If I stand on Your Word

then I, too –

though I have had a beginning –

will have no end.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The LORD…appeared to me…”
(Exodus 3:16)

I’d give anything for You to appear to me, Jesus.

But it’s okay if You don’t.
I know I’m not worthy.

It’s more than that, though, isn’t it?

Most people couldn’t handle it.

Besides – other than the absolute thrill –

what would be the point?

In the Bible I already have Your Word

portions of which I’m still struggling to obey.

On top of which…

sooner than I imagine…

I’ll see You in heaven.
