Pray this Lazaroo in won’t back down confidence:

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day…”
(Habakkuk 3:2)

I am so tired of people saying it doesn’t do any good to pray, Jesus!

Many believe You no longer perform miracles.

But You’re the same  –  

yesterday, today and forever!

There’s nothing You can’t do!

Every miracle You’ve performed in the past
You’re fully able to do today.

So along with Habakkuk I beg You:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Moses said…‘I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.’ The Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?’”
(Exodus 4:10-11)

Please forgive me, Jesus

for all the times I’ve pulled out that same lame excuse

and told You why I couldn’t do what You’ve told me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with all your might:

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith…”
(Jude 1:20)

Okay, Jesus.

Faith comes by hearing Your Word.

It also comes by seeing what You have done in the past

and what You’re doing in the present.

So I build myself up in my most holy faith

by paying attention to what you’ve done

and what You’re doing.

But bottom line?

Faith is a gift straight from You.
You’re the one who has to give it.

I look to You!

Pray this Lazaroo in awestruck gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Philemon 1:25)

Oh, Jesus.

Your grace.

Your loving, perfect, immeasurable

matchless grace.

Everything You’ve done for me in the past.
Everything You’re doing for me right now.
Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.
Even the worst ones.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –
forever and ever and ever, without end.

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

wholly undeserved.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north. Give the people these orders: “You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau…”’”
(Deuteronomy 2:2-4)

Change my direction anytime You like, Jesus!

I have no desire to go my own way.
I’ve spent way too much time traveling that way in the past.

From here on
Let’s go Your way.

Stand in awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now Nineveh was a very important city…”
(Jonah 3:3)

Every city is important to You, Jesus!

But Nineveh was important to Your plan of the ages at that exact moment in time –

not only for the world then…but the world now.

Everything written in Your Word in the past

You’re using to teach us in our present.

The amazing experiences You gave Your reluctant servant Jonah

demonstrate the extreme measures to which You’ll go

to save a sinful city.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed perspective:

“…he began to draw back…”
(Galatians 2:12)

There’s a time to draw back, Jesus –

when I’ve made a mistake.

But sometimes it’s a mistake to draw back.

The great Apostle Peter was making that mistake.

How many times have I drawn back when I shouldn’t have

or failed to draw back when I should?

That’s done. In the past.

You want me to learn from it
not obsess over it.

From now on

may I listen solely to You.
