Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”
(Nahum 3:1)

That’s what got to You the most, wasn’t it, Jesus?

The victims.

Those who lost their lives due to the monstrous cruelty embedded in Nineveh’s culture.

Those who lost loved ones, grieving without relief.
Broken promises, broken homes, broken lives.

It was all about the victims then

it’s all about the victims now.

You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever.

Our suffering
continues to break Your heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted adoration:

“…to the church that meets in your home…”
(Philemon 1:2)

That’s how it started, isn’t it, Jesus?

In addition to gathering in the temple courts

small groups of Your people
met together in one another’s homes.

There they ate together
studied Your Word together
prayed together.

Certainly, we have awesome electronic tools at our disposal

to facilitate those two ways of meeting as Your Church.

But can we possibly improve on that simple plan today?

No.
We can’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
(Acts 2:46-47)

What a happy, glorious time this was for Your Church, Jesus!

Tough times lay ahead
but You gave them this season first.

For every happy season, Father

I thank You from the bottom of my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The land by the sea will become pastures…”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

Sounds good, Jesus.

Pastures are beautiful, pleasant places.

But to stop with that thought is to miss the point.

Land by the sea is extremely expensive.
There’s only so much of it.

It’s in high demand
because everyone wants to build a house there.

Which means that the land You’re referring to will revert to pasture

after the homes there – populated by disobedient people –

have been utterly destroyed.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes.”
(Micah 2:9)

You love the women You’ve created, Jesus –

especially those descended from Abraham.

But when they sin again and again –

rejecting You, following other gods –

they’ll pay for their disobedience
and their detestable idolatry.

Though You’ve blessed me time after time beyond measure

If I reject You and put other things and people before You
You’ll do the same to me

because You discipline those You love.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“When they left…”
(Joshua 2:22)

Joshua’s spies left when they had to, Jesus.

Otherwise, they would have failed in Your purpose.

There’s a time for me to leave, too.

Jobs…relationships…homes…churches…cities…countries –

any of those and plenty else –

are up for grabs.

But sometimes You call me to stay in them for now…

or for the duration.

So the reason for me to leave anything, anyone, anywhere

is not because it’s hard, boring, dangerous, painful

but only because You say so.
