Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her…”
(Esther 5:1-2)

Help me follow Esther’s example, Jesus.

Before You required her to break the rules and ask for an exception

she followed Your rules religiously

planting the good seed
one day
she would need to reap.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperation:

“Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, ‘Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner.’ King David himself walked behind the bier. They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.”
(2 Samuel 3:31-32)

In the wake of tragedy, Jesus

You enabled David to act decisively and with wisdom.
As a result, the people followed his example.

Please LORD –

when tragedy strikes –

help me do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned wonder:

“‘See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.’”
(Zechariah 3:9)

It was revealed to Joshua that You are that Cornerstone, Jesus!

The seven spirits of Your Father that range throughout the earth

were upon You

as You gave Your life on the cross

to remove the sin of all who believe
in a single day.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
(1 Corinthians 3:8-9)

Doesn’t matter where I serve in Your Church, Jesus –

up front or behind the scenes –

our purpose is the same:

We’re serving You!

Since I’m Your field

make me productive!

Since I’m Your building

make me welcoming
for those who need shelter.
