Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit.”
(Haggai 2:19)

That’s no accident, is it, Jesus?

It’s an unmistakable pattern that points to You.

Sometimes – for Your own perfect reasons – You keep my life fruitless

to teach…to get my attention…to humble me.

Oh, but I love those words, “Until now!”

When I’ve learned my lesson
when You’ve got my attention
when I’ve been humbled

the fruit will come!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“The LORD, the God of your fathers…”
(Exodus 3:16)

That gets my attention, Jesus

no matter who the lord of my fathers was.

Maybe the lord of my fathers was some false god.

Maybe my fathers didn’t believe in any god
leaving them to be god of themselves.

Or maybe You were the God of my fathers

the one true LORD and God
Creator of heaven and earth –

everyone’s God –

whether or not they acknowledge You as Savior

…or Judge.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Gather together, gather together…”
(Zephaniah 2:10)

When You say it once, I’ve got to pay attention and obey, Jesus.

But when You say it twice?

Whew! I need to get out my highlighter
and bump it up to the top of my agenda.

What are You saying to me through Your prophet Zephaniah?

They quit turning to You for counsel, direction and help, didn’t they? –
turning instead to others they trusted more.

Message received and recorded.
Loud and clear.
