Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless obedience:

“Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet…prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel…Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.”
(Ezra 5:1-2)

That’s what’s supposed to happen when Your Word goes forth, Jesus!

You expect those of us who hear Your command
to get to work.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children.”
(Hosea 5:5-7)

When we keep sinning – especially when we know better, Jesus –

You withdraw from us.

I can’t afford that, LORD!
I need You too desperately.

Please help me stay faithful to You.

Feel God’s pain to the bone, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, ‘Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.”
(Jeremiah 3:6-7)

When we turn to other gods, Jesus –

anything or anyone we value ahead of You –

in Your eyes
it’s adultery

and Your eyes are the only eyes that matter.

Pray this Lazaroo with soul-satisfying confidence:

“The land by the sea…will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture.”
(Zephaniah 2:6-7)

This was no small promise, Jesus.

If Your people were shepherding 100,000 sheep
they needed 10,000 acres of pasture!

You’ve promised to provide for my needs, too.

I can rest assured:

You know exactly what I need
when I need it.

When You enable me to get where I’m going

there it will be

waiting for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring’…”
(Haggai 2:23)

Why were You so pleased with this governor of Judah, Jesus?

It was because He had the courage to obey You!

He delivered Your warning to Your people
even though it was the last thing they wanted to hear.

He valued pleasing You
ahead of pleasing them.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“The land by the sea…will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah…”
(Zephaniah 2:6-7)

You’re amazing Jesus!

You take land away from its sinning inhabitants
and give it to Your obedient people.

And not just any land, either!
Beautiful, highly prized waterfront land!

But of course, as Creator of all lands

that’s Your right.

May I always live before You in such a way

that You are happy to give me new lands
and never take any of it away!

Pray this Lazaroo with fear and trembling:

“May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”
(2 Samuel 3:9-10)

If Abner knew all of that, Jesus

then why didn’t he do it to begin with?
A lot of people died because he didn’t.

How many will suffer because I don’t do

what I already know I should?

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Though you, Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty.”
(Hosea 4:15)

A command like that is hard to obey, Jesus.

Certainly, a person caught in sin might wish for better
for someone they truly love.

But it’s incredibly hard to tell someone:

“Don’t do as I’ve done.
Do as I say.”

A bad example is a tall, tall mountain to climb.

From this moment forward, help me set a good example

for everyone I want to see live for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.”
(Isaiah 3:8-9)

This is terrifying, Jesus.

You’ve just described what is happening now
before my very eyes.

Sins that people used to commit in shame and darkness
they now proudly display in broad daylight
urging others to join them.

No!
