Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.’”
(John 1:49)

I’ve had moments like that too, Jesus!

When You’ve done something for me that never could have happened

had You not answered my fervent prayers.

Of course, when I testify about Your provision to others

not all of them are convinced.
In their minds, some attempt to explain it away.

But I know.

And You know.

And that’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with day-in, day-out devotion:

“Elisha said to the king of Israel, ‘Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.’ ‘No,’ the king of Israel answered, ‘because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab.’”
(2 Kings 3:13)

Israel’s king was unfaithful to You, Jesus.

Only when he’s in trouble does He turn to You.

Many people do the same!

May I never be one of them.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Jehoshaphat said, ‘The word of the Lord is with him.’ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.”
(2 Kings 3:12)

Good decision, Jesus.

When we don’t know what to do
we can always go to someone who knows You.

But there’s something better, isn’t there?

I need to know You! –
deeply, personally, intimately –
by living in Your Word

so I’ll know Your will…

and others can safely come to me.

Stuff to check as you pray this Lazaroo:

“’What!’ exclaimed the king of Israel. ‘Has the Lord called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?’”
(2 Kings 3:10)

They had been marching through the desert for a week, Jesus. Now they were out of water.

Faced with this terrifying development
the King of Israel blames You.

Help me go to school:

1. Make sure I get my marching orders from You.

2. If I have, trust You to supply everything I need.

Pray this Lazaroo in baffled amazement:

“So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

Talk about being unequally yoked, Jesus…

the king of Judah was honoring You
the king of Israel was not.

Still, You worked stunning miracles and gave this flawed partnership victory against their enemies on that day.

Why? Because it further advanced Your Plan of the Ages.

You’ll work through the worst of us and the best of us, won’t You?

…along with everybody in-between.
