Pray this Lazaroo in compassionate urgency:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

My country’s disobedience has reached this very level, Jesus.

The God-defiant are gathering in large numbers
carousing in broad daylight.

Your judgment is on its way.

Please help me rescue as many as possible
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperation:

“Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, ‘Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner.’ King David himself walked behind the bier. They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.”
(2 Samuel 3:31-32)

In the wake of tragedy, Jesus

You enabled David to act decisively and with wisdom.
As a result, the people followed his example.

Please LORD –

when tragedy strikes –

help me do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.”
(Galatians 3:17-18)

You keep Your promises, Jesus –

no matter what happens in the meantime
no matter how long I have to wait.

Help me not to miss it!

when You keep Your promise
in a way and time I didn’t expect.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other…”
(Joel 2:27)

The heathen world worships gods of their own invention Jesus

creating idols

supposing there must be
gods of the sun, moon, sea,
plants and animals

not understanding that You created them all.
You’re the God of all.

Please help me not think, talk or act like a heathen

while pointing the lost to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4-5)

Persecutions are scary things, Jesus.

In this, I’m like Paul:

When someone I love
is battling through a horrible experience
my biggest concern is the impact on their faith.

To those enduring the devastation of Satan’s vicious attacks

help me be a blessing!

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

“At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’ They also asked, ‘What are the names of those who are constructing this building?’”
(Ezra 5:3-4)

Intimidation tactics, Jesus.

Evil people are full of them.

Help me see their wicked strategies a mile away!

Help me deal with their threats and manipulations
with the supernatural wisdom that comes only from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with honest self-assessment:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are…”
(Colossians 2:5)

Would anyone who knows my life delight to see how disciplined I am, Jesus?

Thanks to You, I am disciplined!

…in some areas.

But to my shame, not in all.

My discipline in one part of my life

doesn’t excuse the lack of it in another, does it?

Help me, LORD Jesus!
Help me.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well…You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”
(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.

Pray this Lazaroo in aching compassion:

“…what do your arguments prove? Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind? You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.”
(Job 6:25-27)

That must be how the suffering feel, Jesus

when I point out to them the error of their ways.

Job was in the right.
His friends in the wrong.

Is it possible I’m the one who’s in error?

Help me set a guard over my mouth.
