Pray this Lazaroo with rejoicing:

“…servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire…They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.”
(Daniel 3:26-27)

It doesn’t get any more amazing than that, Jesus!

You rewarded these men for their refusal to bow to an idol
by performing one of the great miracles of all time.

But others, whom You love just as much,

were burned to death for their faith.

Only in heaven will I understand.
Until then, You have my complete trust.

Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“’…if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband…May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen. So be it.’”
(Numbers 5:20-22)

It’s great to know when I’m innocent of the charges against me, Jesus

and terrifying when I know I’m guilty.

Human beings may guess wrong

But You never do

because You’re not guessing.

Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Pray this Lazaroo, undeterred:

“The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls…We questioned the elders and asked them, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’”
(Ezra 5:8-9)

Every time I launch something for You, Jesus

Satan will raise up someone to question what I’m doing.

Fine. Let them ask away!

…while I keep right on doing what You’ve called me to do.

Seek Him now, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them. Then I will return to my lair until they have borne their guilt and seek my faceā€”in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”
(Hosea 5:14-15)

I don’t want it to come to that, Jesus.

Let me own up to my guilt now.

May not misery, but love!

draw me into Your very heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’…the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’”
(Luke 2:13-15)

Oh, to have been there in that stunning moment, Jesus –

when the heavens opened!

But the Day is coming

when You will show me far more than that.

Be filled with joy, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil. ‘I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten…my great army that I sent among you.’”
(Joel 2:24-25)

I cling to this promise, Jesus!

I know it was made to the people of Judah.

But it’s also Who You Are!

I rest in the certain knowledge

that You always treat me better
than my sins deserve.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.”
(James 3:5)

It’s true, Jesus.

I can make great plans
but only You can make them come true.

I can say something unwise or unkind
and burn down a wonderful relationship.

I surrender my tongue to You!

Teach me what to say.
Teach me how to say it.

And teach me when to say nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more. Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”
(Job 7:9-11)

This is the great Job at the lowest point of his life, Jesus…

before You lifted him out of the depths of despair

and put a new song in his heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!
