Beg God for deliverance, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at every street corner.”
(Lamentations 2:19)

If You see we won’t obey You for our own sakes, Jesus

you motivate us to obey You
for the sake of our children

knowing full well that when we’re listening to Satan
even that may not be enough.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his…’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Your Word is that foundation, Jesus

not because it’s in writing
not because it’s the Bible
but because it’s You.

You Are The Word.

That’s
Solid.

But what means the world to me is knowing I belong to You!

You know me.
You chose me.
You saved me.
I’m Yours.

Not merely for my time on this earth
but through all eternity!

You’re right:

That seals it!

Pray this Lazaroo in peaceful trust:

“In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them…”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

Ashkelon was one of the most secure, well-defended cities of its day, Jesus.

Those who lived there could sleep soundly

knowing they were protected by a huge wall on the land side
and by a high natural bluff on the side facing the sea.

But may I always remember:

Without Your protection, nobody is safe.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“I will drive the northern horde far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land; its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise.”
(Joel 2:20)

What an amazing promise You made to Your people, Jesus!

I love knowing that’s who You Are.

Because when I’m facing overwhelming odds
I know I’m not alone.

You’re Able to do for me
what I could never do for myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid…”
(2 Peter 2:10)

Lack of fear can be a good thing, Jesus…

but not in this case.

Fear of doing wrong, knowing full well You’re watching

is the beginning of wisdom.

Most of us don’t have that fear nearly enough.

For some, it’s a lack of belief.

But for others of us
it’s knowing how much You love us!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“And the Lord God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden…”
(Genesis 3:22-23)

You want us to live forever, Jesus

but not on this earth.

The longer we live on this planet

the way it is

the more we understand why!

Pray this Lazaroo with consistent faith:

“Then the Lord was jealous for his land and took pity on his people. The Lord replied to them: ‘I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.’”
(Joel 2:18-19)

That’s Your heart, Jesus!

When we repent, You bless us!

But when we return to our wicked ways – as Your people did –

You reluctantly withdraw Your blessings

knowing only then will we return to You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So when we could stand it no longer…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

I love knowing that Paul had that emotion, Jesus!

But it was more than mere emotion, wasn’t it?
You were moving on his heart to do something about it –

which is exactly what he did.

Work through my emotions too, LORD!

May they not be unreliable, leading me astray.
May they instead be guided by You

goading me, prompting me, pushing me, driving me

to do the very things You’ve called me to do!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan…All these things…amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.”
(2 Chronicles 4:16-18)

Whatever I do for You, spend for You, sacrifice for You, Jesus

is never enough!

But oh, the joy of giving my all

knowing my all

is all You require!

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

I can’t take it with me, Jesus.

Of course, I know that.
But sometimes I don’t act like it.

The more I love the things I’ve acquired

the harder it will be to leave them
when my time on this earth is through.

But knowing they will soon not be mine

might make me regard my treasures

with wiser perspective.
