Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

‘Woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim.”
(John 2:4-7

Mary didn’t tell you what to do, Jesus.

All she did was present the need

and leave it up to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-opened awareness:

“When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead, Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.”
(Esther 3:5-6)

We’d like to think, “Surely people that evil don’t exist!” Jesus.

But sadly, yes, they do.

O God!

I look to You as my only – and 100% effective –

Supernatural Defense.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
(Ephesians 2:17-18)

The Jews were the insiders, Jesus

the rest of us outsiders.

But You’re the Creator of us all

and in Your love…the Savior of us all!

Because they rejected You, the Jews became outsiders

but one day You will once again draw them

back inside.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.”
(Ephesians 2:15-16)

You’re talking about Jews and Gentiles, Jesus

but this miraculous, peacemaking gift You give
has the power to erase animosity
between any two groups of people.

HALLELUJAH!

There are a couple of groups
I’d really like to see You unite!

Pray this Lazaroo with driven desire:

“But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!”
(Galatians 2:17)

It kills me to admit it, Jesus

but I sometimes find myself among the sinners.

That doesn’t mean You promote or excuse or overlook sin.

It means You’ve saved someone
who still needs a whole lot of work!

I’m ready to go to work, Holy Spirit.

Please.
I beg You:

Help me.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude and love:

“…remember that at that time you were…excluded from citizenship in Israel…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

Because I believe in You, Jesus

I’m a Christian.
My home is in heaven.
I’m part of Your Church.

But may I never forget the miracle You performed when I prayed to receive You as my Savior:

You included me in Israel!

I’m now eligible for every promise You’ve ever made to Your dearly loved people.

I, who was once an outcast

am now a Jew.

Pray this Lazaroo with a willingness to be corrected:

“How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?”
(Galatians 2:14)

That had to be incredibly hard for Peter to take, Jesus.

After all, Peter had spent the entire three years of your ministry with You.

Paul was a Johnny-come-lately

who had persecuted Your followers in the early days of the church.

No matter!

This time, Paul was right
and Peter was wrong.

No matter by whom!

may I always be willing to stand corrected.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the Jews…drove us out …”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

I love the Jews, Jesus.

Not as much as You do, because no one could.
But my love for Your chosen people is fierce and strong.

Still…there were times when You were so upset with them

that You threatened to wipe them off the face of the earth.
You didn’t…but You punished them severely.

I know You love me –

enough to do whatever it takes to turn me around

when I stray.

Pray this Lazaroo in total awe:

“This man was handed over to you by God’s…foreknowledge…”
(Acts 2:23)

Peter was talking to the Jews about You, Jesus!

Before You spoke the universe into existence
before You created the heavens and the earth
before You created human beings in Your own Image
before You chose a people out of every nation on earth

You knew You would have to come to earth as one of us

and give Your life on the cross to pay for our sins.
