Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“‘In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘people will no longer say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.’”
(Jeremiah 3:16)

Well one thing’s for certain, Jesus:

These are not those days.

We still remember Your ark.
There are many who miss it.

But Your Presence has moved beyond that ark

to indwell each of us who believe
by Your Holy Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”
(Galatians 3:13-14)

Every time I think of this, I’m stunned, Jesus:

By faith in You

I receive the Holy Spirit
and the blessings promised to Abraham!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo in believing wonder:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.”
(1 John 2:24)

When I have You, Jesus…

I have the Father.

You and the Father are One.

To see You
is to see the Father.

There aren’t two Gods – or three.

Just One:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The only time it’s Scripturally and grammatically correct to say:

They Is
He Are.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Yes, I’m Yours, Jesus – You know it!

But that doesn’t mean I can continue in these old sins.
In Your power, help me overcome them!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May my life bring You honor, dear LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“No one who denies the Son has the Father…”
(1 John 2:23)

There aren’t millions of Gods, Jesus.

There aren’t two Gods or three Gods.

There’s just One:

You.

You and the Father Are One.

Anyone who has seen You has seen the Father.

You live within me

in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

God created the heavens and the earth.

Everything that exists was made by You.

I have the Father

because I have You!

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart that hungers for God:

“…I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

Paul knew the murderous evil he had done, Jesus.

He knew You were aware of it, too

along with countless others.

His reputation among some of Your followers was great

but for good reason
others of Your people hated and feared him.

Sometimes a person’s past behavior gives them away

but with others it’s all in the past.

O Holy Spirit!
How I need Your discernment!

Pray this Lazaroo with attentive dedication:

“…praying in the Holy Spirit…”
(Jude 1:20)

There’s praying in myself, Jesus –

Telling You what I want
letting You know what I’m thinking.

That’s okay.
You understand.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s asking what You want

listening to Your reply in my heart
listening to Your reply as I study Your Word
listening to Your reply through life events
listening to Your reply through Your servants

all the while measuring everything I’m hearing

by the whole of Scripture.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…the royal secretaries…wrote out in the script of each province and in the language of each people all Haman’s orders to the king’s satraps, the governors of the various provinces and the nobles of the various peoples. These were written in the name of King Xerxes himself and sealed with his own ring.”
(Esther 3:12)

What an immense amount of harm this king allowed, Jesus

all because he trusted the wrong man.

Give me supernatural discernment, Holy Spirit!

My trust is in You alone.

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Since that’s what You’re looking for, Jesus

that’s who I long to be.

There’s only one problem:

I’ve got a long way to go.

Make that a long, long, long way to go.

But no matter how many times I fall short, landing on my face in disgrace

I’m going to keep trying…and trying…and trying…

leaning on You, Holy Spirit
all the way

until my faith
becomes sight.
