Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized determination:

“Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land…”
(Deuteronomy 1:35)

There’s a lot of evil in my generation, Jesus.

Sadly, there have been times when I’ve contributed to it.

But no more!

You’re giving me this chance to turn it around –
not only for myself, but for others my age.

I want us to experience the good land You’re holding in store for us

right here on this earth
and far, far greater in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“So they went and saw where he was staying…”
(John 1:39)

That’s what I’d like to see, Jesus –

where You’re staying –

’cause that’s where I want to be.

It wasn’t in a castle.

You weren’t surrounded by wealth and privilege
at least not that the naked eye could see.

You went where You were needed

and still do.

Yes, You’re omnipresent – everywhere at once.

But I beg You!

Show me where You want to release Your power
through me.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“The Merarites were appointed to take care of the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars…”
(Numbers 3:36)

The crossbars don’t get as much attention as other tent pieces, Jesus

but they were crucially important to Your tabernacle in the wilderness

helping to evenly distribute the load
providing essential stability when struck by desert winds.

I need crossbars in my life, Father!

Your Word
time with You in prayer
encouraging Christian friends

and may I be a crossbar for them.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
(Luke 1:43)

What a stunning statement, Jesus!

Elizabeth, an older woman, sees Mary coming to her –
a pregnant out-of-wedlock teenager.

What does she call Mary?

“The mother of my Lord!”

In that instant, You revealed to Elizabeth that You were the baby in Mary’s womb!

May I respond with joy and reverence when You send to me

the members of Your forever family.

Pray this Lazaroo in trembling fear:

“When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden…”
(Leviticus 4:22)

Let me reword the rest of that sentence, Jesus:

“…it’s bad news.”

Good that the leader didn’t mean to do it

bad that the leader didn’t know enough not to.

Being one of Your leaders is such an awesome privilege

and an incredibly fearful responsibility

because so much is at stake.

The only hope that leader has

is to stay deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unquestioning obedience:

“See that you don’t tell this to anyone.”
(Mark 1:44)

I love to share Your good news, Jesus!

So it seems a little strange to learn
there are some things You don’t want me to tell.

But in this case, You told the man You’d been healed to keep it to himself

because the religious leaders would use it against You.

Please help me speak up when I should

and keep my mouth shut when You say so.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…what shall I tell them?”
(Exodus 3:13)

What a great question, Jesus!

Just because I told them something last time that seemed to work

doesn’t mean I should tell them the same thing this time
even if the situation appears to be identical.

You don’t want me to disconnect from You, thinking:

“I’ve got this.”

You want me to stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Because just when I’m certain I know what to say
I don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with a broken heart:

“…Rachel weeping for her children…”
(Matthew 2:18)

A lot of us are following Rachel’s lead, Jesus

weeping for our children

some of us because our children have died, like Rachel’s

but far more because they’ve gone astray

rejected their upbringing
turned their backs on You

been sucked in by addictions
deceived by the fleeting pleasures of sin.

May my grief not be limited to biological children and grandchildren

but extend to the children of this generation.

Help me
help them!
