Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.’”
(John 3:1-2)

What courage this man exhibited, Jesus –

willing to stand against all his peers
because he could see what You were doing.

May I be courageous, LORD

even when I don’t see.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject gratitude:

“The descendants of Manasseh: Asriel was his descendant through his Aramean concubine. She gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead.
(1 Chronicles 7:14)

It would have been nice if Asriel had been born to a Jewish woman, Jesus

rather than an Aramean.

It would have been nice if she had been a wife, rather than a concubine.

But you didn’t discard their entire line!
You turned them into captains and great fighters.

Thank You for Your amazing, forgiving mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“We who are Jews by birth…”
(Galatians 2:15)

Paul had that honored standing, Jesus.

But those who don’t have hope!

You’ve offered all who are not Jews by birth

the opportunity to become Jews

by rebirth.

In fact, every Jew by birth who desires to make heaven his home

has to become one by rebirth!

That’s hard for a natural-born Jew to accept, Jesus –

until she gratefully acknowledges You as her promised Messiah
in prophetic fulfillment of her Jewish heritage.

Gratefully rejoice as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the exiles from Judah…”
(Daniel 2:25)

Anytime a leader comes across an exile from Judah, Jesus

they’d be wise to give that person a second look.

Your people who’ve been torn from their homeland

still retain Your blessing wherever they go.

I’m blown away that even while You punish one of Your own

You keep blessing them.

I can testify!

Though You’ve had to discipline me countless times

I’m the grateful recipient of more blessings
than I can count.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.”
(John 1:44)

The Jewish people living there witnessed Your amazing miracles, Jesus

but many refused to believe –
even though three of Your disciples were from there!

You told them if the pagans living in Tyre and Sidon had seen those same miracles

they would have repented and believed.

You don’t need to do anything more than You already have, Father

for me – with all my heart – to believe.

Pray this Lazaroo in boundless gratitude:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth…”
(Amos 3:2)

What an honor for the descendants of Abraham, Father!

You passed over nations much more numerous
far more powerful
more famous.

Why?

Because You knew Abraham would do what You told him to do
and pass it on to those after him.

Jesus, thank You for what you did on the cross

to make me – as unworthy as I am –
a member of this amazing family!
