Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the Lord…As he stretched himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm…The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.”
(2 Kings 4:32-35)

You don’t usually raise the dead, Jesus.

Until it’s time for us to die You protect us.

But every once in a while You do the impossible!

to remind us You can.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“’Who are you?’ he asked. ‘I am your servant Ruth,’ she said. ‘Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.’”
(Ruth 3:9)

Ruth took a huge chance, Jesus.

She entered the place where women never went

to offer herself to become the wife
of a man who hadn’t asked her to marry him.

But this was Your doing!

When You tell me to do something unusual or impossible

rules no longer apply.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘Therefore, as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When only a remnant of survivors is left, Jesus

common sense says they’re probably finished.

But You supersede common sense!

You achieve the impossible through Your holy people!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

That’s a tall order, Jesus!

It’s one thing to teach with integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech

but quite another thing to do all that in a way
that’s impossible to condemn.

There’s always someone out there eager to condemn.

but with Your help and protection

I’ll do my best!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“‘Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’ But Moses said, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.’ Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses…”
(Exodus 4:12-14)

Moses didn’t want to go where You told him to go

nor do what You told him to do, Jesus.

Sometimes, neither do I –

when it looks extremely hard

even impossible.

But Moses ended up doing it, didn’t he?

No matter what, that’s what I have to do.

Every time.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…they will enter the land.”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

These were the people no one thought would make it, Jesus!

But You were promising it would happen.

At the time, it looked impossible.

It was!

…for everybody but You.

You’re the God who makes the impossible possible.

You turn faded, black and white dreams
into Technicolor reality.

What impossible eventualities am I dreaming of, Father?

Which of these things nobody thinks can happen

are You about to bring to pass?

Step up to the plate as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…on behalf of the Israelites.”
(Numbers 3:38)

Anything I do “on behalf” of someone else can be nerve-racking, Jesus!

It’s not just about me.
It’s about them.

To think that what I do on their behalf affects them – negatively or positively –

creates a lot of pressure.

I’m tempted to avoid the stress and reject such duties

until I realize that’s impossible.
Everything I do affects somebody else.

As Your follower, I’m always setting an example

for good
or harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…to present you holy in his sight…”
(Colossians 1:22)

We’re talking about a miracle, Jesus.

I don’t see how I could look holy in anyone’s sight
especially Yours.

But if that’s Your goal, it has to be mine.

Except I can’t.

I don’t mean I refuse.

I mean that no matter how hard I try
I fall short.

If I’m ever to appear holy in Your Father’s sight

it will have to be because He sees You
in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.”
(Philippians 1:27-28)

Normally, not being frightened in any way by those who oppose me would be an impossibility, Jesus.

But these circumstances change that.

Sharing salvation for all who trust in You!

How can You not protect me while I’m doing that?

Doing it in harmony with all who follow You.

With You and them
I’m not alone.
