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

“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.”
(Esther 3:13)

How could such an evil thing happen, Jesus –

especially to Your chosen people?

It was because You were about to rescue them
and also destroy their enemies!

Help me to remember that

next time something evil shows up at my door.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.”
(Haggai 2:22)

When You punish my enemies who are attacking me, Jesus

You do so with devastating power!

Not only that – I don’t have to defend myself.

You’re Able to turn them against one another!

Please help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to retaliate.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“At mealtime Boaz said to her, ‘Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar.’ When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over.’”
(Ruth 2:14)

Oh, Your incredible generosity, Jesus!

Please help me remember

all the times You’ve given me what I’ve needed
with some left over.

Then show me the best way to share my leftovers

with those who don’t have enough.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

This is a wonderful prophecy, Jesus!

But please help me remember this about Your Greatness:

You do more than one thing at once!

Yes, this prophecy foretells what will happen in Israel.

But it also teaches an exciting principle:

Those whose focus is helping and rescuing others

are the kind of people best suited
to lead, to rule, to govern.

Self-centered leaders are dangerous.

Deliver us from non-deliverers!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know where you live…”
(Revelation 2:13)

And that’s not all You know, Jesus.

You know everything about me
there is to know.

You know more about me than anyone else.
You know more about me than I know about myself.

Of course, this is why –

when I ask You for something I think I want –
You sometimes have to tell me, “No.”

Because only You know what’s best for me!
Please help me remember that little fact. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“…remember…”
(Jude 1:17)

What a powerful word, Jesus!

“Remember!”

There’s way too much I forget, isn’t there?

the wonderful truths in Your Word that daily sustain me
the countless blessings with which You’ve showered my life
my own sins when I’m tempted to look down on others
the wonderful, Godly people You’ve brought into my world
the many times You’ve rescued me when I was in trouble
how awesome is the home You’ve prepared…

that awaits me in heaven!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I also want women to dress modestly…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

You want men to do the same, don’t You, Jesus?

Wow. Even the way we dress matters to You!

Please help me remember that every time I select an article of clothing:

“Is this pleasing to You, LORD?
Or do You prefer I wear something else?”

Some people would think that’s going too far with this 1on1 with Jesus thing, wouldn’t they?

But You don’t.

So neither do I.

Pray this Lazaroo in thoughtful recognition:

“Go back to your field…You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”
(1 Kings 2:26)

I love Solomon’s decision, Jesus!

For attempting to overthrow King Solomon
Abiathar deserved to die.

But Solomon spared his life
out of respect for his past service to his father

It’s not about this moment alone, is it, Father?

Help me remember!

Pray this Lazaroo with admiration:

“The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallun…ruler of the district of Mispah.”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Shallun was a ruler, Jesus – obviously an important man in his day.

But the only time he’s mentioned in the entire Bible

is when he set aside his administrative garments
and put on work clothes.

Help me remember that, LORD!

Sometimes You want me to get my hands dirty.

Oh, not with the deeds of sin
but with the good, honest dirt

of hard work.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…not to be slanderers…”
(Titus 2:3)

That’s a hard thing not to be, Jesus.

When I get down on someone
I tend to run them down to others.

Why do I do that?

I certainly don’t want anyone doing that to me!

But what goes around comes around, doesn’t it?

You’re watching…listening.

Besides, why am I getting down on anyone?

Sure, they’re struggling, falling short
just like I am.

Help me remember, LORD!

to honor and value others
above myself.
