Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.”
(Matthew 4:21-22)

That’s who I want to be, Jesus!

Every time You call

I want to be willing to drop what I’m doing –

no matter who I’m doing it with –

and follow You every step of the way!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Nebuchadnezzar said to them “…if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
(Daniel 3:14-15)

He was about to find out, wasn’t he, Jesus?

I don’t know how many Christians have died under similar circumstances.

But this time, You had enough of his disrespect.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read…they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop. Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill…”
(Ezra 4:23-24)

That doesn’t seem right, Jesus!

All because of a letter?

No.

You’re in Total Control.
You’re Sovereign!

Never let me forget that when something happens or doesn’t happen

it’s because You caused it
or allowed it.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things?’”
(Mark 2:8)

I’ve wondered the same thing about my own thoughts, Jesus!

“Why am I thinking these things?”

I don’t ask that when my thoughts are pure

when I’m thinking about things that honor You.

I ask it when my thoughts are evil and disobedient to You.

Purify my thoughts, O God!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But God raised him from the dead…”
(Acts 2:24)

They killed You, Jesus!

Yeah, but God raised You from the dead.

Now, what, enemies? What else you got?

Nuthin’. You’ve got nuthin’.

If they can’t keep You in the grave, they can’t stop You.

And I’m Your kid.

The worst they can do to me is kill me.

But if they do, I immediately go to my huge reward
for standing boldly with You at the risk of my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Ninevah.”
(Jonah 3:3)

But when did he do that, Jesus?

It wasn’t when You told him to go the first time.
It was only after he ran from You

got swallowed by the fish You sent for him
and got vomited out on shore.

So much for my questions about why I have to go through my own traumatic situations.

Whatever it takes!

…when I don’t obey the first time.
