Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
(John 1:47)

When I approach You, Jesus

Is that what You see?
No deceit?

Oh, how I long for that to be true of me!

But it’s hard.
I so want people to like me.

Dare I let them know how flawed I am?

Ha! Who am I kidding?

Not only You – but they –

have a pretty good idea.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more…”
(Numbers 3:40)

Why did You tell Moses to do that, Jesus?

It didn’t really matter to him, did it?

Oh, he might have been curious

but whether he understood or not
he was going to do it.

That’s a pretty rare commodity

but it’s one of the things You loved about him, wasn’t it?

With all my heart

I hope that’s one of the things You love about me.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

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

That’s pretty specific, Jesus.

I love it when You do that.
I kinda wish You’d do it more often. 😉

You were letting Your people know they could go this far…

…and no farther.

How far are You going to take me?

I know You know.

Is it best for me to know that, too?

If it is, You’ll tell me.

If it isn’t…

I guess I’ll find out.

Pray this Lazaroo with full attention:

“Hear this word the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel…”
(Amos 3:1)

That’s not a word I’d want to hear, Jesus

especially if I was an Israelite.

What a reminder that You discipline Your kids!

I’m Your kid, too.

You love me enough to discipline me –

not because You want to cause me pain

but because You will do whatever You have to do

to spare me from the consequences

of heading down the wrong path.
