Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.”
(Daniel 2:28)

Yes, there is, Jesus!

You understand every mystery that baffles us.

You’re the Creator of all.
You’re the Creator of all mysteries.

But as true as that is, that’s not what Daniel said.

He said you reveal mysteries!

Oh, Hallelujah!

Dear God:

Would it please You to reveal to our scientists
the mystery of this Coronavirus that has us by the throat?

Please.
We beg You.

Feel His loving warmth, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But, dear friends…”
(Jude 1:17)

When somebody gets ready to correct me, Jesus

I prefer it to be as a “dear friend.”

Jude wasn’t lying.

That’s how he truly felt toward his brothers and sisters in You.

But You’re the One who gave these words to Jude

to share with us.

With me.

That’s how You see me, isn’t it?

Not only as a person You’ve created,
as a sheep in Your flock

but as Your dearly-loved

Personal friend.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound.”
(Ezekiel 3:13)

Does it get any more powerful than this, Jesus? Any more life-changing?

These visions You gave Ezekiel give me
a glimpse of what awaits me in heaven –

because I’ve put my faith and trust in You.

I didn’t get to see and hear what Ezekiel saw and heard –

but one day I will!

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“We ought therefore…”
(3 John 1:8)

Three powerful words, Jesus!

How many times have You shown me truth
without seeing me act on it?

I hope none.
But I know better.

Sometimes I file it away to act on later
and never get around to doing so.

Not only that.

But that word “we” is meant to turn me into an evangelist.

The truth You so graciously share with me
is meant for everyone to act on, as well.

Pray this Lazaroo with unvarnished transparency:

“My groans are many…”
(Lamentations 1:22)

I can usually do a lot of groaning

before I realize it, Jesus.

Other people might complain about my complaints

while they only seem justified to me.

But when I’m the one who notices I’m doing a lot of groaning

that’s an indication that things have become

pretty intense.

Do You get tired of hearing me groan, Father?

Or are You waiting for me to turn them
into believing, trusting, heartfelt prayers?

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“As you have heard…”
(2 John 1:6)

Why do I cringe when I hear those words, Jesus?

Probably because I realize
I’m about to be reminded.

Usually, the reason I’m being reminded

is I didn’t pay attention the first time.

Of course, I may have paid attention the first time

and didn’t want to do it

or had something else going on
I wanted to finish first.

Or maybe I just procrastinated.

Wow.

All that sounds pretty lame.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

Strong words, Jesus.

Hard to hear.
But even worse, hard for You to see:

Your people worshiping other gods
instead of remaining faithful to You.

That’s exactly how You view me

every time I put someone or something
ahead of obedience to You:

as a prostitute.

Help, LORD!

That’s not what I want You to see when You look at me.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“The world and its desires pass away…”
(1 John 2:17)

That’s so true, Jesus!

Some of the things
that once seemed overwhelmingly important to me

now matter little to nothing at all.

This world that feels so permanent

isn’t.

The more scientists discover…the less care we humans give it…

the shorter this earth’s lifespan is revealed to be.

But that’s not what’s likely to make it pass away, is it?

One day Your trumpet is going to sound!

and operation cleanup will begin.

Pray this Lazaroo in aware humility:

“The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:17)

Why do we get like that, Jesus?

It’s because of the generosity of Your blessings, isn’t it?

You load us up with good things

but instead of being humbly grateful to You
we act like we’ve done it ourselves.

Attractive people act like they self-designed their genes.
Talented people act like they gave themselves their abilities.

No wonder You have to take us down a notch!

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

They had it all, didn’t they, Jesus?

They were with You in heaven!
They saw You, heard You, served You!

But then along came Satan

perhaps the most amazing of all the angels
who looked in the mirror one too many times
and let his pride get the better of him.

One-third of the angels bought into his lies.

May I never follow their horrific example.
