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!
