Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgment:

“Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’”
(Exodus 3:15)

That’s quite an introduction, Jesus.

But it wasn’t enough.
You knew it wouldn’t be.

It took You working miracle after miracle

before the Israelites believed
and Pharaoh agreed to let Your people go.

When faith is absent

words are never enough.

Not then
and not now.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“…take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel…”
(Matthew 2:20)

It’s hard to imagine You like that, Jesus –

small…vulnerable.

But that’s how You wanted to come to earth:

the same way every one of us does.

Well…almost. 😉

Except that Your mother was a virgin.

You wanted to feel what we feel, experience what we experience

so that when we cry out to You about how hard it is

You can reply:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…they realized they were naked…”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s…quite a realization, Jesus.

It’s not that they didn’t know what they looked like before.
It’s just that now, they felt vulnerable, embarrassed, ashamed.

What a loss!

But then, that’s what sin always does.
It promises much, delivers little.

Actually…that’s only partially true.

It never delivers what was promised

but it does dump on the sinner a ton!

…of heartache, disillusionment and pain.

Satan keeps selling

but this time
I’m not buying.

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

“So I have caused you to be despised…”
(Malachi 2:9)

That’s a fearful thing, Jesus.

It’s one thing for people not to like me.
In that case, they might choose to leave me alone

…which is not always a bad thing. 😉

But when people actually despise me?
They may be tempted to attack me

with things they say about me
things they may do to harm me.

May I never bring down that kind of curse on myself!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I will surely raise my hand against them…”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Don’t want to ever hear that, Jesus!

Not as it pertains to me.

I need Your hand to

save me
comfort me
sustain me
strengthen me
guide me
protect me
show me
cover me
lift me
help me.

But dear God!

May Your hand never be raised against me.

Against my enemies, though?

Tempting.
But You’ve told me to pray for them.

Nah. Don’t.
Go ahead and bless them.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“I struck all the work of your hands with blight…”
(Haggai 2:17)

Unreal, Jesus.

Farmers break up the hard soil
plant their seeds in the field
row after row after row.

They bring water when there’s not enough rain
hoe out the weeds that sprout
until their plants grow tall

and then the entire crop withers and dies from a disease

sent by You.

When I think my work matters more than my God

I may want to reconsider.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble anticipation:

“…he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

In the last days, Jesus

that’s what will happen.

You did it once by flood, when You gave Noah the rainbow sign:

no more water
the fire next time.

I’m thankful I missed the first time.

I sure don’t want to stick around for the second!

But this much I do long to experience and see:

Eternal life – in Your new heaven and earth.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Will they not…make you tremble?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Many things bother me, Jesus

but only one thing makes me tremble:

displeasing You.

In You I need fear nothing and no one else.

But because of Your great love for me
Your forgiveness, mercy, protection

it would devastate me to think that in some way

I might disappoint You.

Don’t let that happen, Holy Spirit!

If I start to take even one step in that direction
please, please!

Let me know.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the warriors are clad in scarlet.”
(Nahum 2:3)

So am I, Jesus!

I’m Your warrior against the powers of darkness
clad in the scarlet that stands for Your blood –
the blood You shed for me on the cross

which frees me from the power of sin
brings me near to You
gives me life

allows me to enter the Most Holy Place
in 1on1 relationship with You!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Is the Spirit of the LORD angry?”
(Micah 2:7)

I know You get that way sometimes, Jesus

because You say so!

That’s because we – for whom You have done so much –

give You good reason to be angry
when we defiantly disobey You.

But I’m still here – and not fried to a cinder by one of your lightning bolts –

because You’re slow to anger

which gives me at least a little time to change my ways

before it’s too late.
