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

“Confident of your obedience…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I wish You could be confident of mine, Jesus!

I wish my friends and family could be.
I wish I could be.

But I’m not.

Oh, I’m confident of my good intentions.

You know all about those, too.

I sure do mean well.

But my follow-through needs some work.

I don’t have to tell You that last statement was an understatement.

My follow-through needs a lot of work.

Help me. Please.
Help me.

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 with incentivized determination:

“Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land…”
(Deuteronomy 1:35)

There’s a lot of evil in my generation, Jesus.

Sadly, there have been times when I’ve contributed to it.

But no more!

You’re giving me this chance to turn it around –
not only for myself, but for others my age.

I want us to experience the good land You’re holding in store for us

right here on this earth
and far, far greater in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with a broken heart:

“…Rachel weeping for her children…”
(Matthew 2:18)

A lot of us are following Rachel’s lead, Jesus

weeping for our children

some of us because our children have died, like Rachel’s

but far more because they’ve gone astray

rejected their upbringing
turned their backs on You

been sucked in by addictions
deceived by the fleeting pleasures of sin.

May my grief not be limited to biological children and grandchildren

but extend to the children of this generation.

Help me
help them!

Pray this Lazaroo in undisguised need:

“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning…”
(Matthew 2:18)

Nobody wants to hear that, Jesus.

Even worse, nobody want to be the one doing it.

This old world dishes out a lot of reasons to cry.

Most of the time I manage not to give into it.
I suck it up, tough it out, keep plugging away.

But sometimes the loss is too great. My emotions spill over.

In those awful, desperate times, please:

Help me!
