Monday, April 1, 2024

 

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.”
(Galatians 3:18-19)

We were in that holding pattern for a long time, Jesus!

You’re the Seed that came.

Abraham was looking forward to Your coming.

I’m looking back at your coming…

and forward to Your coming again!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful love:

“…we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:14-15)

Wow, Jesus.

What an awesome incentive to share my faith!

The more people who trust You as Savior
the more we will praise and thank You!

You deserve all the glory…

and so much more.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.”
(Galatians 3:17-18)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

no matter what happens in the meantime
no matter how long I have to wait.

Help me not to miss it!

when You keep Your promise
in a way and time I didn’t expect.

Pray this Lazaroo with unbridled gratitude:

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”
(Mark 3:13-15)

You called those you wanted, Jesus.

By Your grace, You’ve called me.
That means You want me!

Oh, my God.

Thank You!

I don’t know why You want me

but I’m determined not to let You down.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”
(Proverbs 4:7-9)

It doesn’t do a whole lot of good to have opportunities, tools and ability, Jesus

if I don’t know how or when or why or where or with whom
to use them.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Philemon 1:3)

When I live in the wonder of Your grace, Jesus

I experience Your peace.

So long as I believe I have to earn my way to heaven

there is no peace
because I know I’ll never be good enough.

But when I trust what You did for me on the cross

as payment in full for my sins

I’m filled with Your peace
that surpasses all understanding.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I want all my words to be good, Jesus

not just some of them.

But my only hope to achieve that lofty goal

is to stay constantly in tune with You, Holy Spirit!

May every word I speak be fulfilled

because it originates with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing eagerness:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

May I pray that prayer over others, Jesus

and may others pray it over me.

Oh, how we need You to encourage and strengthen us

as in Your Name we perform good deed after good deed!
