Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

Pray this Lazaroo in patient readiness:

“I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent…But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’”
(Ezekiel 3:26-27)

Sometimes silence is golden, Jesus.

Sometimes it’s disobedience –

or even worse –

cowardice.

It is my heart’s desire to be silent when You tell me to hush

and to be vocal when You tell me to speak.

In every moment of every day, Holy Spirit…

lead me!

Pray this Lazaroo with a determination to follow:

“Queen Esther…reported it to the king…”
(Esther 2:22)

What do I do when I hear something of huge importance, Jesus?

Do I keep it to myself?

In the case of gossip or sworn secrecy
sometimes I should.

But what about those times when the nature of what I’ve learned must not remain a secret –

at least not to the people who need to know it?

Oh, how I need Your guidance!
Lead me, LORD!

I know You will.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…he was afraid to go there.”
(Matthew 2:22)

You haven’t given me a spirit of fear, Jesus –

but a spirit of power, love, self-discipline.

There’s no place You send me

that I need fear.

But there are places You forbid me to go.

I’d blessed well better be scared to go there!

How can I expect You to protect me

when I blatantly disobey?

Lead me in Your way everlasting, Father!

And keep my britches
out of the ditches.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the Israelites will live many days without king or prince…”
(Hosea 3:4)

At first, that may not have seemed like much of a threat, Jesus.

They had lived for more than a thousand years without either –
trusting Your prophets and judges to lead them.

Now, however, they had spent the last 300 years living under a king.

They were used to it.
Dependent on it.

Like I would be without You

they were leaderless…directionless.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He will guard the feet of his saints…”
(1 Samuel 2:9)

Guard mine, Jesus!

My feet have taken me to wonderful places
and some not so wonderful.

When I was younger

I thought becoming an adult
meant finally getting to go wherever I wanted to go.

But since when do I know enough to make that decision?

You alone know the end from the beginning.

Now all I want

is for You to lead me where You want to go.

Pray this Lazaroo in humility:

“I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord…”
(Philemon 1:20)

Sometimes I have to be that direct, Jesus.

When someone is dragging their feet
slow to do what they ought to do

give me the courage to say words that will light a fire under them!

Of course, that’s not always the case.

Sometimes they’re truly following You
and I’m being impatient.

O God!

Give me the wisdom to know the difference!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The fate of the fool will overtake me also…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

In one sense that’s true, Jesus.

Fools die.
So will I.

But thanks to You

I don’t have to be a fool!

If I’m a fool now

I don’t have to remain one.

The fool denies You.

I worship You.

The fool ignores Your Word

I embrace it.

The fool can’t be told, corrected or taught.

I beg You to shape, lead and mold me
into Your likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies…”
(Psalms 5:8)

I don’t know, Jesus –

Is it easier to live a righteous life while my enemies are attacking
or when it appears they’re giving me a break?

While under attack

I might lean hard on You…
or get discouraged and sin.

When free from attack

I might worship You in gratitude…
or grow complacent and stray.

Please, LORD!

In trouble or not
lead me all the time.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate transparency:

“…the fool walks in the darkness…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:14)

I’ve taken more than one of those dark walks, Jesus

Didn’t enjoy it.
Felt like the fool I was.

I don’t want to do that anymore!

With every step I take, I long to walk in Your Light.
I long to see clearly, act wisely.

But only You can rescue me from the wrong choices that will inevitably shroud my path in the blindness known all too well

by God-ignoring fools.
