Pray this Lazaroo in confident desperation:

“His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. He says to himself, ‘God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.’ Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.”
(Psalm 10:10-12)

There are times when I feel helpless, Jesus.

This is one of them.

But I’m not helpless, am I?

Not so long as I have You.

And that’s a long time!

Because You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come.”
(Galatians 3:18-19)

We were in that holding pattern for a long time, Jesus!

You’re the Seed that came.

Abraham was looking forward to Your coming.

I’m looking back at your coming…

and forward to Your coming again!

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Pray this Lazaroo with courageous discernment:

“…he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so…”
(3 John 1:10)

What kind of person behaves like this in Your Church, Jesus?

He’s a plant, isn’t he?
Slipped in by Satan.

Perhaps he’s someone with money or social prominence.

Maybe he holds an office in the church
or simply has been there a long time.

He may be a sinning believer.
He may only pretend to be a believer.

But either way, he’s got to stop

or go.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“The king also said to Shimei, ‘You know in your heart all the wrong you did to my father David. Now the Lord will repay you for your wrongdoing. But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will remain secure before the Lord forever.’”
(1 Kings 2:44-45)

For a long time, it looked like Shimei would get away with his detestable behavior, Jesus.

But You saw to it:

He didn’t.

Those who refuse to trust in You

never do.

Never forget! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time. But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off…At this, he saddled his donkey and went…in search of his slaves.”
(1 Kings 2:38-40)

Solomon warned Shimei not to leave the city, Jesus!

After three years, the warning had faded in his mind…

but not in Solomon’s.

Shimei’s faded memory cost him his life.

It doesn’t matter how long ago You tell me something, does it, Father?

Your Word still stands.

Consider carefully, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Ephraim mourned for them many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. Then he made love to his wife again, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. He named him Beriah, because there had been misfortune in his family.”
(1 Chronicles 7:22-23)

Ephraim was lost in grief, Jesus.

Even after You gave him a son in place of those who died
he rhymed his name with “misfortune.”

When I’m dealt a huge blow

please help me trust You
and move on!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn determination:

“How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion with the cloud of his anger!”
(Lamentations 2:1)

That’s not the kind of cloud cover I want to be under, Jesus.

If there’s one thing I know
You’re slow to anger.

If You weren’t
I’d have been fried a long time ago.

So when You’re covering a person – or a whole group of people –

with a cloud of Your anger

that tells me they’ve been trying Your patience

for a very long time.
