Pray this Lazaroo in never-say-die determination:

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9)

You Are that Treasure, Jesus!

It’s true:

I’m often hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted
even struck down…

but never:

crushed, in despair, abandoned
and certainly not destroyed.

All this for You, LORD –

Shine through me!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, ‘Bring me another one.’ But he replied, ‘There is not a jar left.’ Then the oil stopped flowing.”
(2 Kings 4:5-6)

When does Your miraculous oil stop flowing, Jesus?

When I quit bringing You jars.

With Your help, I’m not going to be like that widow’s son.

I’ll scour heaven and earth

to find another jar.

Here, LORD!

Please fill it.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”
(2 Kings 4:3-4)

She didn’t have enough oil to fill even one jar, Jesus.

But before You worked the miracle
You required her – in an act of faith –
to collect a houseful of empty jars.

All my empty jars are sitting here, Jesus!

Ready.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it. They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.”
(Numbers 4:7-8)

I have to wonder about that scarlet cloth, Jesus.

Did it stand for the blood You would one day shed

to cover my sins?

Thirst for God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…get a drink from the water jars…”
(Ruth 2:9)

There are a lot of places to get a drink, Jesus.

One would be from a water jar.

But I could also get a drink from

a well
a water fountain
a bottle
a bubbling brook
a juice bar
a soft drink can or bottle
a coffee or tea cup
a canteen.

But the best place to take a long, refreshing drink

is from the Living Water of Your Word.
