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

“…half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor…Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked.”
(Nehemiah 4:16-18)

Those are extreme measures Jesus

needed only when the threat level is high.

Because I’m sold out to You

the threat level from the enemy of my soul is always high.

Better strap on my sword of the Spirit
and suit up in the full armor of God!

Pray this Lazaroo in compassionate urgency:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

My country’s disobedience has reached this very level, Jesus.

The God-defiant are gathering in large numbers
carousing in broad daylight.

Your judgment is on its way.

Please help me rescue as many as possible
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of “God bless it! God bless it!’” Then the word of the Lord came to me: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it.”’”
(Zechariah 4:7-9)

No one can

turn the tables
flip the script
upend the status quo

like You can, Jesus!

That’s what I need You to do right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude and awe:

“When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile.”
(Ruth 3:7)

If Boaz thought he was in good spirits then, Jesus

You were about to take him to a whole ‘nuther level!

He was about to get a new wife and a new life.

Moreover, You were adding him to the bloodline
from which You would one day be born –

and by Your blood shed on the cross
I’ve been born again!

Never give up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All who pass your way clap their hands at you; they scoff and shake their heads at Daughter Jerusalem: ‘Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?’”
(Lamentations 2:15)

People love to attack a fallen hero, Jesus.

Why is that?

Were they jealous of the blessings You bestowed on them?
Are they delighted, now that Your discipline
has brought them down to their level?

What a shock it will be

when You restore the blessings
of Your repentant loved ones!

Pray this Lazaroo with attentive dedication:

“…praying in the Holy Spirit…”
(Jude 1:20)

There’s praying in myself, Jesus –

Telling You what I want
letting You know what I’m thinking.

That’s okay.
You understand.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s asking what You want

listening to Your reply in my heart
listening to Your reply as I study Your Word
listening to Your reply through life events
listening to Your reply through Your servants

all the while measuring everything I’m hearing

by the whole of Scripture.
