Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit confidence:

“The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead them up to Mount Tabor. I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.’”
(Judges 4:6-7)

If it had been anyone else, Jesus

Barak might have responded:

“Yeah, right.”

But this was the prophet Deborah, Your chosen leader of Israel!

She spoke Your words, not her own.

Like You –

I’d be wise to do the same.

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 with white-hot fervor:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”
(Proverbs 3:5)

It’s impossible to trust You with all my heart, Jesus…

while leaning on my own understanding.

My understanding trips me up because it’s woefully incomplete.

I don’t have the whole picture.
My brain’s not that big.

One day in heaven I’ll be like You.
Maybe then I’ll see it for what it is.

But that day is not yet.

Help me trust!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…that day sweeps on like chaff…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I’ve had a few days that felt like that, Jesus.

Nothing but chaff –
the sweepings of husks separated from the grain.

Filler…but no nutrition.
Activity…without accomplishment.

But the wild thing is that even on those days

You were with me.
You’re always with me!

And You – Redeemer of Lost Days –

were working, teaching, moving even then –
one more step in Your loving, lifelong plan

to transform me into Your amazing likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s a lot of holy ones, Jesus!

What a Day that’ll be.
Wrongs finally made right.

Angels? Yes, Sure.

But not only angels.

Those of us who’ve followed You, died and gone to heaven

will be coming with You and the angels, too.

But people like me? Holy?

Maybe not now, here on earth.
But in heaven, they’ll be like You.

And so will I.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…those esteemed as pillars…gave me…the right hand of fellowship…”
(Galatians 2:9)

It feels good when someone important accepts me, Jesus.

Although I sometimes forget:
in You, everyone’s important

which means that if one of Your unesteemed children is nice to me

I should be just as happy.

I wonder…

will there come a day when I’m more about accepting others
than being accepted?

Might be a sign of maturity, huh?

Might be a sign
of becoming more like You.

Pray this Lazaroo in unvarnished self-awarness:

“…mercy…from God…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s absolutely where mercy comes from, Jesus –

You.

The closer I get to You
the more time I spend with You

the more merciful I become.

The less time I spend with You
the greater the distance that develops between You and me

the more I care about

punishment
vengeance
payback.

Odd, isn’t it?

That someone so in need of outrageously huge helpings of mercy
would have such a hard time offering it.

Pray this Lazaroo in non-argumentative submission:

“…welcome him as you would welcome me.”
(Philemon 1:17)

That’s a tall order, Jesus –

especially if I’m close to the person who’s making the request
and don’t know the person I’m supposed to welcome.

But isn’t that what You ask of me with every Christian I meet?

I’m supposed to treat them the way I’d treat You.

It doesn’t matter that they don’t deserve such a welcome.

That’s what You want
That’s what I’d better make sure You get.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in the coming ages…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

Most people settle for their three score and ten in this age, Jesus.

Not me.

Because I’ve put my hope in You alone

You’ve promised me the rest of this age
and all the ages to come.

And the best part?

I’ll only be shackled inside the limitations of this body
for the tiniest portion of it.

The rest of the time I’ll enjoy the limitless capability of my new body

like Yours.

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

“…you will be like God…”
(Genesis 3:5)

Satan uses that lie to get me to sin, Jesus

because that’s the lie he told himself
when he rebelled against You

and it blew up in his face.

The more I sin

the less I look like You
the more I look like Satan.

If I want to be like You

I’ve got to reject Satan’s lies
ignore his false promises

and follow closely after You
every step of the way.
