Pay extremely close attention, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it…This will be a sign to the people of Israel. Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.”
(Ezekiel 4:3-4)

How many times, Jesus

have You called on Your prophets, preachers and pastors
to be a sign to Your sinning people

to repent, change their hearts and their evil ways
before it’s too late?

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
(Psalm 9:7-10)

You’re my Refuge, Jesus!

My Stronghold!

I know Your Name, JEHOVAH RAPHA!

You will not forsake us

for we seek You with all our hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing eagerness:

“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 and strengthen you in every good deed…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

May I pray that prayer over others, Jesus

and may others pray it over me.

Oh, how we need You to encourage and strengthen us

as in Your Name we perform good deed after good deed!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. And all the Israelites came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.”
(2 Chronicles 5:2-3)

They obeyed the king, Jesus.

But why?

Billions of people have disobeyed kings’ commands.

Very simply, You put it in their hearts to obey Solomon.

So they did.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
(Acts 2:46-47)

What a happy, glorious time this was for Your Church, Jesus!

Tough times lay ahead
but You gave them this season first.

For every happy season, Father

I thank You from the bottom of my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“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 and strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

Oh, do I need Your strength, Jesus!

Strength to obey You no matter what.
S
trength to bear up under the hard times.
Strength to stay true to You during the good times.
Strength to overcome Satan’s temptations.
Strength to stay faithful to You…

right up to the moment You call me home.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
(2 Corinthians 3:14-16)

This is extremely humbling, Jesus.

You can dull my mind.
Only You can sharpen it again.

I’m turning to You with all my heart!

Take the veil away!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:9)

When our hearts are stubborn and unrepentant, Jesus

this is what it comes to.

Because Your loving kindness doesn’t compel us

all that’s left is pain.

O God!

May I respond to Your love
Your generosity to me
Your goodness, mercy and forgiveness!

May I never bring upon myself

Your wrath.

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 earnest desire:

“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God.”
(2 Corinthians 3:3-4)

That’s the letter of recommendation I desire, Jesus!

I’m not asking for a piece of paper.

All I need to see

is that through me

You continue to transform lives!
