Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the pur (that is, the lot) was cast in the presence of Haman to select a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.”
(Esther 3:7)

Haman was superstitiously seeking the perfect time to harm Your people, Jesus.

But You’re the One who guided the lot and turned it against him!

Guide my every decision LORD –
for Your eternal glory!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He will guard the feet of his saints…”
(1 Samuel 2:9)

Guard mine, Jesus!

My feet have taken me to wonderful places
and some not so wonderful.

When I was younger

I thought becoming an adult
meant finally getting to go wherever I wanted to go.

But since when do I know enough to make that decision?

You alone know the end from the beginning.

Now all I want

is for You to lead me where You want to go.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I will surely raise my hand against them…”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Don’t want to ever hear that, Jesus!

Not as it pertains to me.

I need Your hand to

save me
comfort me
sustain me
strengthen me
guide me
protect me
show me
cover me
lift me
help me.

But dear God!

May Your hand never be raised against me.

Against my enemies, though?

Tempting.
But You’ve told me to pray for them.

Nah. Don’t.
Go ahead and bless them.

Pray this Lazaroo in humility:

“I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord…”
(Philemon 1:20)

Sometimes I have to be that direct, Jesus.

When someone is dragging their feet
slow to do what they ought to do

give me the courage to say words that will light a fire under them!

Of course, that’s not always the case.

Sometimes they’re truly following You
and I’m being impatient.

O God!

Give me the wisdom to know the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate transparency:

“…the fool walks in the darkness…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

I’ve taken more than one of those dark walks, Jesus

Didn’t enjoy it.
Felt like the fool I was.

I don’t want to do that anymore!

With every step I take, I long to walk in Your Light.
I long to see clearly, act wisely.

But only You can rescue me from the wrong choices that will inevitably shroud my path in the blindness known all too well

by God-ignoring fools.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

If only I could see you guiding me that clearly, Jesus!

When the cloud lifted, they knew it was time to break camp
then they followed the cloud You provided wherever it went.

When it stopped
so did they.

Right now I’m straining my eyes to get a glimpse of that cloud!

Please.
Show me.
