Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“The couriers went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered.”
(Esther 3:15)

The deadly plot Haman hatched against Your people

quickly spread throughout the kingdom, Jesus

leaving fear in its wake.

No matter!

What you had planned for Haman and all like him

was about to backfire

and bring about their total destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding anticipation:

“…the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.”
(Daniel 2:44)

That’s my kingdom, Jesus!

Not interested in any of these kingdoms on earth.
Every one of them is doomed.

No, because of my faith in You alone

You’ve called me into Your Kingdom of Light
which has no end!

Hallelujah!

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 burning emotion:

“As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.”
(Daniel 2:42-43)

That’s what sin does to me, isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s the clay mixed with Your holy iron

that makes me fragile and brittle.

I long for all of me

to be filled with You!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people…If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them…”
(Esther 3:8-9)

Just like those Jews Haman wanted to destroy, Jesus

You’ve commanded me to keep myself separate
from everything that contaminates body and spirit

holy unto You.

Satan desires to destroy me!

but You’re not going to let him.

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw dropping wonder:

“…in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold. After you, another kingdom will arise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.”
(Daniel 2:38-39)

What a reminder of Who You Are, Jesus!

Calmly rattling off exactly what will happen

thousands of years in the future.

Cry out to God for protection, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.”
(Esther 3:8)

Haman was plotting to destroy Your chosen people, Jesus!

Please deliver Your Church and those I love
from those whose hearts Satan has filled
with the same evil intent!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-thumping anticipation:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the LORD’s.”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Of course, all the kingdoms of the earth belong to You, Jesus.

And if there are any kingdoms elsewhere in the cosmos
those are Yours, too.

But You’re talking about what happens on our end, aren’t You?

It’s when we make You our LORD
and obey You with all our hearts

that our kingdom
becomes wholly Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered assessment:

“…he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger. Without pity the Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob; in his wrath he has torn down the strongholds of Daughter Judah. He has brought her kingdom and its princes down to the ground in dishonor.”
(Lamentations 2:1-2)

There’s a line I don’t want to cross, isn’t there, Jesus?

You treat us so well, so lovingly
with such mercy and forgiveness

that we forget…

out there somewhere…

that line is there.
