Pray this Lazaroo remembering…anticipating:

“…the steps going down from the City of David.”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

Jerusalem…Zion…Ariel…the Holy City…the City of David and of God.

Oh, how You love that spot on earth, Jesus!
So do I!

You –

mourned for her
taught in her streets
entered before cheering crowds
were arrested and stood trial there
were crucified outside her gates
rose to life from one of her tombs
will return one day – soon! –
through her Eastern Gate.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep concern:

“A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem…”
(Malachi 2:11)

Hearing that creates a thud in my stomach, Jesus!

Without even knowing what it is
that statement coming from Your prophet
is cause for alarm.

Especially because I’ve done detestable things.

I deeply regret them now
but I can’t take them back.

All I can do is rely 100% on Your promise:

that for Your own sake, the detestable sins I’ve committed

You remember no more.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…the exiles from Jerusalem…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

Exiles come from a lot of places, Jesus…

but none more holy than Jerusalem.

To not be permitted to return to this blessed land

had to leave an incurable ache in the heart of each exile.

Some of us who can’t go there aren’t exiles.

We just don’t have the money to afford the trip.

Others of us long to go

and are simply trusting You to provide the way

in Your time.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“Moses and Aaron and his sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle…”
(Numbers 3:38)

You situated Moses and Aaron in the perfect place, Jesus –

where they would have constant, direct access to the sanctuary.

And one day – perhaps soon! – as lightning flashes from the east to the west

in fulfillment of Bible prophecy
You will enter the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem

which faces the Mount of Olives –
the most direct route to Your ancient temple mount.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful delight:

“Rephaiah son of Hur, ruler of a half-district of Jerusalem, repaired the next section.”
(Nehemiah 3:9)

The wall of Jerusalem was broken down, Jesus.

Your enemies laughed and ridiculed:

“What are those feeble Jews doing?
Will they restore their wall?

“Can they bring the stones back to life
from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?”

Yes, they could – because You raised up people like Rephaiah

a leader who wasn’t too proud
to do whatever needed to be done.

Pray this Lazaroo in highest praise:

“Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem…”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

Where else, Jesus?

Your holy city

the place above all others

You chose to dwell
placed Your Name
revealed Your glory

the place above all other cities

where you built up Your walls
where kings brought You gifts
that King David considered his highest joy

the place where You

taught huge crowds
worked stunning miracles

the hallowed place

for whose peace we fervently pray.

 Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith: 

“…all of you who live in Jerusalem…”
(Acts 2:14)

What an honor to live in Your chosen city, Jesus!

What a privilege
what a responsibility

what danger.

Countless millions hate Jerusalem, Father!

what she stands for
along with the people who live there.

Again and again throughout history she has been the center of attention.

But because You love her

there is coming a day when what happens within her borders
will determine the future of the world.
