Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Let everyone call urgently on God.”
(Jonah 3:8)

When do I pray like this, Jesus?

When do ask everyone I know to pray like this?

Sometime it’s when there’s an opportunity to do something great.

But most of the time
it’s when I’ve run out of options
and disaster is imminent.

Is that happening anywhere in my life right now?

Anywhere in the lives of others?

Always.

Time for me – for all of us – to call urgently on You!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep conviction:

“The sons of Ulam were brave warriors who could handle the bow. They had many sons and grandsons—150 in all.”
(1 Chronicles 8:40)

The ability to handle a bow is a gift, Jesus.

Without that gift, no one can be great at it.

But just because I’ve been given a gift

doesn’t mean I don’t have to develop it
and practice, practice, practice.

Show me the gifts You’ve given me, Holy Spirit!

and give me the determination to develop them
to their full, life-changing potential.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart that hungers for God:

“…I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

Paul knew the murderous evil he had done, Jesus.

He knew You were aware of it, too

along with countless others.

His reputation among some of Your followers was great

but for good reason
others of Your people hated and feared him.

Sometimes a person’s past behavior gives them away

but with others it’s all in the past.

O Holy Spirit!
How I need Your discernment!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother…”
(Philemon 1:1)

He was the great Apostle Paul, Jesus

but not one molecule of his body wanted to make it all about him.

He willingly shared his leadership with the young man Timothy

to encourage him and validate his ministry with others.

How can I do less?

Show me the younger people You’ve placed in my life

for that very purpose –

and may I be as generous with them

as You have been with me.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

I’m so glad my work matters to You, Jesus!

But nothing I do is my work alone.
I’m leaning on You every step of the way.

I don’t want my work to be merely good.
I want it to be great.

There’s only one way that can happen:

When in passionate humility
I collaborate with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it?”
(Joel 2:11)

Those who think this world will forever continue as it is are mistaken, Jesus.

You’re giving us countless chances to stop our sinning
to turn wholeheartedly to You.

But the end of all things as we know them is drawing near.

Our wickedness is mounting up to the skies.

You’re about to come down here with Your saints and angels

and clean things up.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Flowers appear on the earth…”
(Songs of Songs 2:12)

Yes they do, Jesus…

every Spring.

You are faithful to bring us their stunning beauty worldwide

year after year after year.

On this USA Mother’s Day Your gift of flowers is the perfect reminder

that whether my mother was

great
awful
or somewhere in-between

You knew precisely the kind of mother I needed

to inspire me, inform me, caution me, drive me

to become the person You’ve created me to be.
