Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with joy!

“…she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, ‘Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.’ ‘Did I ask you for a son, my lord?’ she said. ‘Didn’t I tell you, “Don’t raise my hopes”?’”
(2 Kings 4:27-28)

You had worked a miracle for this woman, Jesus.

Now, she thought You had taken it away.

But it was only to set up everything

for an even greater miracle!

Pray this Lazaroo as you confidently wait on God:

“‘The Lord bless you, my daughter,’ he replied. ‘This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.’”
(Ruth 3:10)

Ruth continued to live in a way that honored You, Jesus.

Because You’re who You Are
that was enough.

I have no idea how You’re going to intervene for me.

Knowing You, I expect it will be totally different than I imagine.

But I do know my part in Your miracle:

Continue to live in a way that honors You.

Pray this Lazaroo in open-eyed awareness:

“Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.’”
(Genesis 4:6-7)

Sin is crouching at my door, too, Jesus.

May I never forget how passionately and persistently
sin desires to have me!

But may I always remember:

Greater are You in me
than the one who is in the world!

Pray this Lazaroo filled with confidence in God’s protection:

“But the eye of their God was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.”
(Ezra 5:5)

May Your Eye keep watching over me, Jesus!

Keep me working, serving!
Perform Your wonders!

May I never let Satan’s threats deter me from Your mission.

Yes, he has power
but You have all power!

Greater are You in me

than the doomed one who terrorizes the world.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
(2 Corinthians 3:9-11)

The ”good old days” can’t compare with these, Jesus.

I’m exactly where I need to be:

doing what You’ve called me to do
being who You’ve called me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The spears of pine are brandished.”
(Nahum 2:3)

Aren’t spears supposed to be made of metal, Jesus?

It would be scary to go into battle with a pine spear
against an army of people carrying iron spears.

Still…with Your help, blessing and protection

a pine spear is all I need.

Help me to trust You to provide victory

through the weapons, tools, materials
education, location, people

You’ve given me.

Not by might, not by power…

but by Your Spirit.
