Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them…”
(Titus 2:9-10)

From the moment I said yes to You, Jesus

I became Your slave –

which means that’s how I, too, should live.

No matter how someone lords it over me

You want me to treat them with respect
and act honorably toward them

because they’ve been created in Your Image
and I represent You!

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

“…women are to be worthy of respect…”
(1 Timothy 3:11)

So are the men, Jesus.

We’re not merely to demand respect.
You expect us to earn it.

How?

By the way we speak
by the way we act.

by the way we live our lives wholeheartedly for You – 

staying in Your Word
praying through the day
loving and encouraging Your people

sharing Your Good News
with those who don’t know You

showing others the same mercy
we ourselves have received from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo as you confidently wait on God:

“‘The Lord bless you, my daughter,’ he replied. ‘This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.’”
(Ruth 3:10)

Ruth continued to live in a way that honored You, Jesus.

Because You’re who You Are
that was enough.

I have no idea how You’re going to intervene for me.

Knowing You, I expect it will be totally different than I imagine.

But I do know my part in Your miracle:

Continue to live in a way that honors You.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘Therefore, as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When only a remnant of survivors is left, Jesus

common sense says they’re probably finished.

But You supersede common sense!

You achieve the impossible through Your holy people!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’”
(Obadiah 1:3)

When I ask myself a question, Jesus

I’m asking the wrong person.

I would do well to ask the wise –

or even better, to ask You –

through openhearted, open-minded study of Your Word

and in fervent, ready-to-receive Your answer prayer!

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart!

“You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine. For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins.”
(Amos 5:11-12)

When I cheat to get something, Jesus

I’m fooling no one but myself.
You’ll see to that!

Help me serve You with integrity

and leave the blessings to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in total honesty:

“When I think my bed will comfort me…even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions, so that I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine. I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.”
(Job 7:13-16)

Why did you let Job speak to You like that, Jesus?

Because You knew how hard He had tried to please you

and how stunned he was
that You hadn’t protected him.

Help me remember why You did that

and how it ended.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.”
(1 Timothy 3:8-10)

All these things really matter to You, don’t they, Jesus?

That’s why they matter to me.

May I live out each day
the holy life to which I’m called!

Tremble in Awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…‘as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah’…”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When You say, “…as surely as I live,” Jesus

it’s a done deal!

because You are more Alive
than all the rest of us put together.

You’re the Living One!

You’ve Always Been
You Are
You’ll Always Be.

Everything and everyone who draws a breath on this planet –

or anywhere else in Your vast creation

received their life from You.
