Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
(John 3:14-15)

Anyone bitten by those venomous snakes in the wilderness, Jesus

had only to look at the bronze snake on Moses’ pole

and they lived.

They lived because they believed what You told them

just as I will live because I believe what You’ve told me.

Pray this Lazaroo in never-say-die trust:

“You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.”
(Acts 3:13-15)

Peter let them have it with both barrels, Jesus.

He lifted You high and smacked them down low.

When everything’s on the line, Holy Spirit:

make me this bold!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“‘Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,’ declares the Lord.”
(Obadiah 1:4)

You said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

I can testify!

You’ve had to drop me to my knees.
More than once.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Again and again and again
You’ve lifted me back up!

May I never forget:

The way to stay up
is to stay down.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more. Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”
(Job 7:9-11)

This is the great Job at the lowest point of his life, Jesus…

before You lifted him out of the depths of despair

and put a new song in his heart!
