Pray this Lazaroo in loving gratitude:

“But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

These kinds of relationships are rare, Jesus.

If I have anything like this, help me cherish it
and never take it for granted.

If I don’t have anything like it

please bring this blessing into my life!

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened awareness:

“…Jesus asked them, ‘Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?’ But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.”
(Mark 3:4-5)

That’s how You work nearly every miracle, Jesus –

in spite of our animosity, doubt and outright disbelief.

True, some miracles are granted to those who have faith

which comes directly from You

as a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“The voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
(Nahum 2:13)

You sent Jonah to warn Ninevah of their impending doom, Jesus.

But when they repented
You relented!

Not this time.

Not long after You granted them a stay of execution
they went right back to their detestable sins.

They stopped sinning to avoid punishment
not because they hated and rejected what they had done.

Nahum was the last prophet You sent to them.

O God!
May I never cross that line!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Humble beginnings, Jesus.

Elisha started out as a servant to the great prophet Elijah
a step-and-fetch-it, a do-whatever-I’m-told.

He remained in that role until You called his master home.

And then he demonstrated that he had been paying attention:
He asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit.

Wow. Where did that come from?

And You granted his request!

You really love to reward the humble.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…it has been granted to you…”
