Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt allegiance:

“Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?”
(Romans 2:25-26)

Bottom line, Jesus?

It’s not about my outward appearance.
It’s about the condition of my heart.

If I truly love You
I’ll obey You.

It really is that simple.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep desire:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I need to pray that prayer over those I love, Jesus!

Some of them desperately need You to encourage their hearts.

I would love for someone to pray that prayer over me, too.

You know what’s going on in my heart.
You know how much I need Your encouragement!

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn self-appraisal:

“My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within; my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed…”
(Lamentations 2:11)

I could say the same about the people in my country, Jesus!

They’re racing down a steep slope of disobedience
heading straight for a cliff that will plunge them to their death.

But do my eyes fail from weeping
Am I in torment within?
Is my heart poured out on the ground?

We desperately need revival

but how much do I really care?

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness…”
(James 2:22-23)

How does anyone know I have faith in You, Jesus?

For that matter, how do I know I have faith?

It’s not my talk, is it?
Talk’s cheap.

It’s by my actions!

What I do and don’t do
provide a telling glimpse
into my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with solemn determination:

“…since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience…God again set a certain day, calling it ‘Today.’ This he did when a long time later he spoke through David… ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’”
(Hebrews 4:6-7)

A hard heart can cost me everything, Jesus!

It can ruin the relationships I desire with my friends and family

and cripple my relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Daughters of Jerusalem, come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.”
(Song of Songs 3:10-11)

Is she referring to Solomon’s first wedding, Jesus?

Because in disobedience to You
he took many wives – 700 in all.

Many of them were idol worshipers, who in time turned his heart from You.

Remind me, Jesus!
More…isn’t always best.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
(Acts 2:37-38)

Straightforward question…

straightforward answer, Jesus:

the gospel in a nutshell.

When people ask me what to do

may I be just that straightforward.

(Malachi 2:15)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

I belong to You lock, stock and barrel –
body, spirit, soul, mind and heart –

not only because You made me

but because You declared I would be Yours before I was ever born
then called me to Yourself

to which I responded yes! with all my heart
after which You justified me
and are now glorifying me by giving me

Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate commitment:

“King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love.”
(Song of Songs 3:9-10)

What was the costliest ingredient in Solomon’s carriage, Jesus?

It wasn’t the wood, silver, purple or gold, was it?

It was the love.

May the interior of my life – the heart of me – my very being!

always be inlaid with love.
