Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“…he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them. ‘Follow me,’ he ordered, ‘for the Lord has given Moab, your enemy, into your hands.’ So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Moab…”
(Judges 3:27-28)

Ehud told the truth, Jesus.

There are others who want us to follow them, however, who are lying.

You haven’t sent them..

Give us holy discernment to tell the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“They will be afraid of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own. You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.”
(Deuteronomy 2:4-6)

You chose Jacob, Jesus

but You sure took care of Esau!

I’m not Your #1

but You care for me as though I am!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north. Give the people these orders: “You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau…”’”
(Deuteronomy 2:2-4)

Change my direction anytime You like, Jesus!

I have no desire to go my own way.
I’ve spent way too much time traveling that way in the past.

From here on
Let’s go Your way.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable persistence:

“So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.”
(Deuteronomy 1:43)

I know how Moses feels, Jesus

well…just a little.

I’ve shared warnings You’ve shared with me

only to have people ignore me

and even worse, ignore You!

But just when I start to climb up on my soap box of holier-than-thou

You remind me of times

when I’ve ignored Your warning.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge)…”
(1 Chronicles 6:67)

Those blessed cities of refuge, Jesus!

You provided them so a person who had accidentally killed someone could go to them to escape being killed by the avenger of blood.

Every one of us needs a place of refuge when we’ve done something we didn’t mean to do.

You, LORD!

You Are my place of Refuge

when everyone else
wants to string me up.
