Pray this Lazaroo in desperation:

“Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, ‘Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner.’ King David himself walked behind the bier. They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.”
(2 Samuel 3:31-32)

In the wake of tragedy, Jesus

You enabled David to act decisively and with wisdom.
As a result, the people followed his example.

Please LORD –

when tragedy strikes –

help me do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 4:10-12)

These were Your words through King David to his son, the future King Solomon.

But they’re also Your words to me, Jesus.

You call me to walk in the way of wisdom

to make these promises come true in my life.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…David sent messengers…demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal’…So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel…Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back.”
(2 Samuel 3:14-16)

Paltiel knew King Saul gave him Michal to spite David, Jesus.

Did he surrender her to do what was right

or because he was afraid of Abner?

May no one have to threaten me, Father!

to make me do what’s right.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him. Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David…Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you.’”
(2 Samuel 3:11-13)

Ish-Bosheth had good reason to be afraid of his general, Jesus…

because Abner was about to betray him.

Who among those I trust is about to betray me?

You know.
I’d like to know, too.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, ‘Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you.’”
(2 Samuel 3:12-13)

Just like that, Jesus –

The commander of Saul’s army gives up and switches sides to David.

That just doesn’t happen!
Unless You make it happen.

O God!

In Your Way and Time
make it happen for me.

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?

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…the king sent for Shimei and said…‘The day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley, you can be sure you will die; your blood will be on your own head.’ Shimei answered the king, ‘What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said.’”
(1 Kings 2:36-38)

King David told Solomon to execute Shimei, Jesus.

But in Your wisdom
Solomon gave Shimei
one way to save his life.

Oh, how I need Your amazing wisdom!

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest. Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, ‘Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.’”
(1 Kings 2:35-36)

Solomon was just following his daddy’s orders, Jesus.

King David knew what was necessary
to firmly establish his son’s throne.

I’m ready and willing to follow Your orders, Father!

Command me.
I’ll obey.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.”
(Psalms 7:8-10)

Like David, Jesus

there are times I can’t ask you to deliver me
according to my righteousness.

My only hope is Yours.

(Acts 2:30-31)

You made that promise to King David, Jesus

and You kept it.

You keep all Your promises.

Please, LORD…

help me keep mine.
