Pray this Lazaroo with attentive dedication:

“…praying in the Holy Spirit…”
(Jude 1:20)

There’s praying in myself, Jesus –

Telling You what I want
letting You know what I’m thinking.

That’s okay.
You understand.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s asking what You want

listening to Your reply in my heart
listening to Your reply as I study Your Word
listening to Your reply through life events
listening to Your reply through Your servants

all the while measuring everything I’m hearing

by the whole of Scripture.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…the priest will make atonement for the man’s sin…”
(Leviticus 4:26)

That’s the way it used to work, Jesus.

You’re the One who set it up.

No longer.
There’s a new Priest in town:

I don’t have to go to another person any longer –

somebody as messed up as I am.

I can go straight to You – perfect, sinless, pure, all-powerful.

You don’t forgive me because of my words.
You forgive when You see true repentance in my heart.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This company of Israelite exiles…will possess the land…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s not usually how it works, Jesus…

until You step in and work it!

Normally, exiles have no power, no leverage to make anything significant happen.

They’re outsiders. Most of them merely subsist.

But when You rise up in the heart of the weak to do great and mighty things

who can stop them?

Rise up within me, LORD!

In Your love, wisdom and power
rise up within me.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate, wholehearted adoration:

“…keep my commands in your heart, for they will…bring you prosperity.”
(Proverbs 3:1-2)

I do want to prosper, Jesus.

But not the way I used to think.

Prosperity – true prosperity – isn’t about money or fame.

As precious as these are
it isn’t even about health, friends, family.

The prosperity for which I long is whatever comes

with being in the absolute center of Your will.

Not one centimeter to the right.
Not one centimeter to the left.

That’s it.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Will not your debtors suddenly arise?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Not much fun, Jesus.

Unless…

Right now I’m thinking of my debt to my parents.

Without them, I wouldn’t be here.

Then there are those who’ve taught me what I needed to learn.

They equipped me with the tools I’m using now.

The person who led me to You

will always have a special place in my heart.

But I owe You the most

because all the above
came from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with transparency:

“I said in my heart…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

If I say it in my heart

that’s where it counts, Jesus –
the place where only You can see.

Some of the things I say with my lips

don’t really reflect what’s in my heart.

I don’t mean to be a hypocrite.

I don’t want to be a person
who pretends to be someone I’m not.

But not everything that’s in my heart

is safe to say out loud
or wise.

Pray this Lazaroo with Scripture-infused emotion:

“Then I thought in my heart…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Thinking in my heart goes deeper

than thinking in my mind, doesn’t it, Jesus?

The thoughts that arise deep within my heart

often get there through painful means.

They’re lessons hard-learned
battles hard-won…

…and lost.

The thoughts in my heart are the real me, aren’t they, Holy Spirit?

May all the words of my mouth and meditations of my heart
be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
