Pray this Lazaroo with laser focused intent:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you.”
(1 John 2:24)

It doesn’t do much good, Jesus

to hear the great, life-changing truths of Your Word

then fail to remember them

not build every aspect of my life upon them.

You’ve told me to see to it that I don’t let that happen.

That means I’m the one responsible.

If I don’t do it
I have no one to blame but myself.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“’…I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.’”
(Haggai 2:23)

To be chosen for something good is gratifying, Jesus.

But to be chosen by You?

Priceless.

Before You ever chose me

You knew me
because You made me.

You knew the countless sins I would commit
the mistakes I’d make

and still You chose me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

No matter what I face

no matter what trials You take me through

may I never forget that eternally life-changing fact!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep conviction:

“The sons of Ulam were brave warriors who could handle the bow. They had many sons and grandsons—150 in all.”
(1 Chronicles 8:40)

The ability to handle a bow is a gift, Jesus.

Without that gift, no one can be great at it.

But just because I’ve been given a gift

doesn’t mean I don’t have to develop it
and practice, practice, practice.

Show me the gifts You’ve given me, Holy Spirit!

and give me the determination to develop them
to their full, life-changing potential.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you have an anointing from the Holy One…”
(1 John 2:20)

I can’t begin to tell you how much that means to me, Jesus!

Though I’m wholly undeserving

because I’ve put my eternal hope in You as my Savior

Your anointing rests on me.

Your Protection.
Your Presence.
Your Guidance.
Your Blessing.
Your Healing.
Your Favor.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I can’t keep this to myself, can I?

Everyone needs Your precious, life-changing anointing.

Please work through me to let them know.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.”
(1 Samuel 2:21)

That’s how I want to keep growing up, Jesus –

in Your holy, life-changing, me-transforming Presence!

In a sense, we all grow up in Your Presence, don’t we?

You’re everywhere!
Omnipresent!

But what You had with Samuel was closer, more intimate, wasn’t it?

He walked with You, talked with You.
You made him Your very own.

He learned to discern Your One-of-a-kind Voice.

I want that.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves…with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

I don’t often think of good deeds as clothing, Jesus

a precious behavior that adorns those who worship You.

You don’t want the literal clothing a person wears

to detract in any way from their spiritual garments –

emanating from the good they do

because of Your life-changing Presence

in their daily lives!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’ Joshua said to the priests, ‘Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.’ So they took it up and went ahead of them.”
(Joshua 3:5-6)

These two commands are not unrelated, Jesus.

As I consecrate myself

I need the life-changing wisdom, comfort and power

of Your holy Word to go before me

every step of the way.

Pray this Lazaroo in excited obedience:

“Phillip found Nathanael and told him…”
(John 1:45)

All it took was one encounter with You, Jesus…

and Phillip had to go tell somebody!

How many encounters have I had with You?

How many times have You intervened in my life to help me?

And what about the most important, life-changing time of all –

when You gave me the gift of faith to believe in You
which changed my destiny from hell…to heaven?

I’ve gotta go tell somebody!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)

That’s the line, isn’t it, Jesus?

Some people quote the Bible the way they do any other book.

Though I don’t know how

there are people who read the Bible and don’t believe a word of it.

I’m so far from perfect that I scare myself and everyone around me, LORD –

but this much I know:

The Bible is Your miraculous, infallible, life-changing Word.
