Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family, there is another who is more closely related than I.”
(Ruth 3:12)

Naomi had it all worked out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

Boaz would marry Ruth and give Naomi grandbabies.

Well, in fact, that’s exactly what happened!

Eventually.

But first, they had to face a huge, unexpected roadblock.

May I never fear the roadblocks Satan sets up in my life, Father.

Because nothing and nobody
can thwart Your Will!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.”
(Mark 3:25-27)

In the midst of defending Yourself against their false accusations, Jesus

You gave us this principle that has guided us for all time.

May my house never be divided!

But if that happens
work through me to restore it.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4)

That’s not true only of Paul, is it, Jesus?

If I remain faithfully obedient to You
trials are bound to come.

Since I follow in Your footsteps
they are my destiny.

But that’s all right!

I count myself blessed
to suffer for You.

And this I know:

You’ve promised me eternal rewards
that will make it all worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“I always thank my God as I remember you…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Who are these people in my life, Jesus?

Those who spark feelings of gratitude
every time I think of them?

In fact, You are the one
who placed them in my life!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Now comes the most personal question:

Is there anyone out there
who can say the same of me?

O God! Make me the kind of person

for whom others thank You
every time they remember me!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…Abraham ‘believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.”
(Galatians 3:6-7)

So far as I know, Jesus

I’m not a physical Jew.
I’m not directly descended from Abraham.

But those who are the true children of Abraham

are those whose faith is in You –
which makes Abraham my father!

while those who trace their physical lineage from Abraham

but don’t trust in You
are, in fact, illegitimate children.

Pray this Lazaroo with newfound respect:

“…‘my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.’ Elisha replied…, ‘How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?’ ‘…nothing there at all,’ she said, ‘except a small jar of olive oil.’”
(2 Kings 4:1-2)

But with You, Jesus

that’s all it takes, isn’t it?

Something little.

In fact, You prefer it that way

because when the miracle happens

we know it’s You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…receiving no help from the pagans.”
(3 John 1:7)

Is this a big ol’ surprise, Jesus?

No.
Hardly.

Pagans aren’t in the habit of helping me – or any of Your followers.

In fact, just the opposite.

They tend to get in our way

quite frequently opposing us.

So, receiving no help from the pagans

is no excuse for not being about Your business –

the business of sharing Your gospel with pagans

and being of eternal help to them.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“He has brought down rulers from their thrones…”
(Luke 1:52)

Yes, You have, Jesus –

far more times than any of us can imagine.

In fact, every ruler whose reign has ever ended

has been brought down by You.

You raise ‘em up
You set ‘em down.

But the reverse is also true:

No one can take down someone You’ve set up:
not by vote, assassination, impeachment or coup.

No ruler is perfect.

But each is perfect
for Your plan.
