Pray this Lazaroo in solemn recognition:

“His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.”
(Psalm 10:7-9)

The key to this description, Jesus?

“…like a lion…”

You’re the Lion of Judah.

Satan is trying to be like You

and spectacularly failing.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

I don’t usually think of You inheriting anything, Jesus.

Normally, I think of You as the Inheritance-Giver.

But just as You chose Israel out of all the nations on earth

You chose one of her 12 tribes as Your inheritance:

Judah.

At the end of his life, Jacob prophesied over his son Judah

that a Ruler would come from him.

You Are the Lion of Judah.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Lions have roared…”
(Jeremiah 2:15)

That’s a terrifying thing, Jesus.

I can imagine how an innocent gazelle
quenching her thirst from a peaceful brook must feel
when that sound comes from the brush behind.

The reason I can imagine it

is that I’ve been stalked by lions of a different sort –
people intent on bringing me down.

But just when fear is about to immobilize me

I remember You, the Lion of Judah

whose ultimate roar
drowns theirs out.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Does a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey?”
(Amos 3:4)

I can’t imagine many things more terrifying, Jesus

especially when I’ve done wrong and know it.

You’ve warned me that Satan prowls around like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.

I don’t want to hear the roar of that lion, Father!

Not when I’m in a thicket.
Not when I’m its prey.

Not unless it’s the Lion of Judah

rescuing me when I pray.
