Pray this Lazaroo as you confidently wait on God:

“‘The Lord bless you, my daughter,’ he replied. ‘This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.’”
(Ruth 3:10)

Ruth continued to live in a way that honored You, Jesus.

Because You’re who You Are
that was enough.

I have no idea how You’re going to intervene for me.

Knowing You, I expect it will be totally different than I imagine.

But I do know my part in Your miracle:

Continue to live in a way that honors You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel. Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, now that Ehud was dead. So the Lord sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.”
(Judges 3:31-4:2)

You keep supplying Your people with helpers, Jesus.

They keep repaying Your kindness by disobeying You.

There are consequences for that kind of behavior –
consequences I don’t want to reap.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be kind…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Why would older women know more than younger women, Jesus

about being kind?

Perhaps the experience of their years has taught them its benefits.

Perhaps they’ve learned the hard way what happens

when they aren’t kind

and when others are unkind to them.

But of all instructional methods

perhaps the best way to train these younger women to be kind

is to show them how it’s done. 😉

Be overcome with gratitude as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…if we are faithless, he will remain faithful…”
(2 Timothy 2:13)

Could there ever be greater evidence of Your love, Jesus?

Of Your mercy?
Of Your forgiveness?
Of Your kindness?
Of Your patience?
Of Your longsuffering?

Or of Your sovereignty!

Another way to look at it is that nothing I do
can change what You do
nor who You are!

You are faithful. Period.

That’s what I, too, as Your grateful follower
with all my heart aspire to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“…the priests in their vestments…”
(Ezra 3:10)

You were specific about these sacred garments, Jesus.

First, they were to bathe.

Aaron was to put on linen undergarments

followed by the sacred woven linen tunic, robe
linen turban and sash, breastpiece and ephod.

He was to be anointed and ordained in them

giving him dignity and honor.

Since all believers are priests, You tell me to clothe myself

with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience

and most of all…with You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone has caused grief…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

People don’t usually say something like this, Jesus

unless grief has been caused.

There’s seldom any “if” to it.

But for some, the word, “since” can be a little too strong.

Hence, the word, “if.”

Paul is trying to bring healing in the place of hurt

so with Your help, He’s choosing those words.

O God!

Give me Your words of healing
to share with those around me
who are hurting.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-melting gratitude::

“…the incomparable riches of his grace expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 2:7)

How do I know I’m the recipient of Your grace, Jesus?

Well…I know it by faith.

You said if I declare with my mouth that You are LORD and believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead

I’ll be saved.

But the irrefutable evidence right here and right now

is the incomparable, wholly undeserved kindness You are showing me!
