Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit confidence:

“The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’”
(Judges 4:6-7)

If it had been anyone else, Jesus

Barak might have responded:

“Yeah, right.”

But this was the prophet Deborah, Your chosen leader of Israel!

She spoke Your words, not her own.

Like You –

I’d be wise to do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

[The man:] “’You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.’ [The woman:] ‘Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.’”
(Song of Songs 4:15-16)

The man praises her, Jesus…

the woman responds in kind.

Give me Your words to brighten someone’s day!

And when they brighten mine
help me respond in kind.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Get up, go away!”
(Micah 2:10)

When they come from You, Jesus

those words rock my world.

It’s so easy to become complacent where I am.

I have my routine.
I know where everything is.
I’ve carved out a spot for myself in this old world.
Even if there are things I don’t like, it’s what I’m used to.

But when You tell me to leave what’s familiar and forge a new path

I will…

as You go before me.

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 all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Do not my words do good to the one whose ways are upright?”
(Micah 2:7)

Yes they do, Jesus.

I can personally attest!

When I’m weak, Your words give me strength.
When I’m afraid, Your words give me courage.
When I’m in pain, Your words bring me healing.
When I’m in despair, Your words fill me with hope.

And on the day when I am about to draw my last breath

Your words give me absolute assurance

of eternal life.

Pray this Lazaroo in fiery dedication:

“Listen, all you peoples…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s quite an opening line, Jesus.

Jeremiah isn’t merely speaking to a group of his friends.
He isn’t limiting his remarks to those under the hearing of his voice.
He doesn’t aim his words at the nation of Israel alone.

Instead, he sends this message to everyone on earth

not only to those living in his day
but to all people of all time

including me.

Why?

They’re not his words.
They’re Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken…”
(Amos 3:1)

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken, Jesus!

Well…that’s not exactly what I mean.

I want to hear every word You’ve spoken…

…to me.

A lot of them are found in Your Word, Father.

Perhaps most of them.
But not all of them.

Some of them are spoken to me by You, Holy Spirit

deep within my soul.

May I take every word You speak to me

to heart.
