Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
(Ephesians 3:17-19)

The depth of Your love for me, Jesus

is beyond my understanding!

Fill me all the way full with Yourself!

so in everything I think, say and do
I can love You back.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:17-18)

That’s my prayer, too, Jesus!

Root and establish me – and all your people – in love.

Grant us Your power to grasp just how much You love us

so that, filled with Your love
we will be unable to rest

until we have shared Your love
with as many as possible.

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 all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’ The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn. My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.”
(Job 7:4-6)

We need good sleep, Jesus.

We need good health.

But under Satan’s attack we may enjoy neither.

It’s so easy to feel hopeless like Job.
But I trust in You to rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Abner called out to Joab, ‘Must the sword devour forever? Don’t you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their fellow Israelites?’”
(2 Samuel 2:26)

This was the wise plea, Jesus

of a general whose army was being soundly beaten.

There’s a time to keep fighting

and a time to call a halt to the hostilities
when nothing worthwhile is being accomplished.

O Holy Spirit!

Give me Your discernment
to know which is which.

Pray this Lazaroo with strengthened resolve:

“If the person said to him, ‘Let the fat be burned first, and then take whatever you want,’ the servant would answer, ‘No, hand it over now; if you don’t, I’ll take it by force.’”
(1 Samuel 2:16)

How long have people abused their authority Jesus?

As long as Satan has stalked the earth?
This was going on 3,100 years ago!

I beg You: Shield me from such tyrants!

And when You give me responsibility

may I never lord it over others!

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

“My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?”
(Psalms 6:3)

How many times have I been there, Jesus?

You alone know.
It’s too many for me to count.

But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

It reminds me that in Your perfect way and time
You rose up and showed Yourself strong!

I don’t have to tell You –

my soul remains in anguish about some things
and especially some people.

But I know:
You’ll come through.

On this Christmas day, pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…they…stayed there three days…”
(Joshua 2:22)

So how long do You want me to stay where I am, Jesus?

A day? Three? A year?
For the rest of my life?

It’s good to know I’m where You want me

but to presume I will never move
is a mistake.

You want me to enjoy where You’ve placed me

but not to become complacent, thinking
“Now I know how this is going to play out.”

No.
Huh-uh.
I don’t know.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“How long must this go on?”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Sometimes I’m stuck in what seems an intolerable situation, Jesus

which makes it feel like it will never end.

I cry out to You for relief, as though You don’t see and hear and feel.

But You do.

You don’t bring me to such places to hurt me.

You lovingly place me in them to teach me.

All I ask

is that You help me learn my lessons
really, really fast.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn refelction:

“The length of time David was king in Hebron over Judah was seven years and six months.”
(2 Samuel 2:11)

That kind of information is a little hard to come by in advance, Jesus.

Only in retrospect am I able to put boundaries
around the seasons of my life.

You, on the other hand, knew beforehand the exact time David was going to reign in Hebron

just as You know when this season I’m now in
will end.
