Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Abner… said, ‘For some time you have wanted to make David your king. Now do it! For the Lord promised David, “By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.”…Then he went to Hebron to tell David…”
(2 Samuel 3:17-19)

Since Abner knew it was Your will to make David king, Jesus

why had he fought so long against him?

Or put another way:

Since I know what You want me to do
why don’t I do it?

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well…You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”
(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:14)

Well, it’s working, Jesus.

I fear You!

Not because I think You don’t love me.

I know You do.

It’s just that You Are so Awesome! So Powerful!

You’re Bigger than big, Wiser than wise.

I love that You and I are close – 1on1.

But Your attributes are so mind-boggling
that I can’t help but tremble in Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo with a higher perspective:

“I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)

Those are a gift from You, Jesus!

But not everyone gets to enjoy them.

Some of the best people You’ve created

experience a brutally hard life on this earth.

But because of their steadfast faithfulness to You

their forever is going to be oh, so sweet!

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
(Matthew 4:1-3)

This was Your plan, Jesus –

to be tempted by Satan to show me that he attacks when I’m weak

and so that when I cry out to You

You can answer:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.’”
(John 1:49)

I’ve had moments like that too, Jesus!

When You’ve done something for me that never could have happened

had You not answered my fervent prayers.

Of course, when I testify about Your provision to others

not all of them are convinced.
In their minds, some attempt to explain it away.

But I know.

And You know.

And that’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him.”
(Exodus 3:19)

And Yours is just the Mighty Hand to accomplish that, Jesus!

…which You did.

What a reminder of who You are and how You guide the whole earth!

You tell us what You want us to do.
You let us make our decisions.

But when we’re about to cross that line You’ve drawn that we can’t see

You act.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I am not lying…”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

I feel for the Apostle Paul, Jesus.

These people thought so little of him
that he had to defend his own honor as a truthful man.

The worst part about it is that the moment you have to protest:

“I’m not lying!”

…it sounds like you are.

I know. I’ve been there.

The moment those words left my mouth
I felt how unbelievable they sounded.

But You know.
The truth will come out.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…the…struggle…you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.”
(Philippians 1:30)

Okay, Jesus…

that’s real!

How many times have I begged You to intervene –

cried and pleaded for a miracle –

that still hasn’t come?

I know.

It’s all about Your timing.

I want deliverance now.

I live in the now.

But Your perspective is a little different:

higher, wider, deeper, bigger

better.

You see the end from the beginning

because You Are

the Beginning and the End.
