Pray this Lazaroo in simple, profound trust:

“Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.”
(Psalm 10:1-3)

In a heartbeat, Jesus

You could stop every evil person
from saying or doing anything wrong.

which would make us all nothing more than robots.

Instead, You’ve chosen to give us the freedom to choose You

or reject You.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul was able to say that about Your believers in Thessalonica, Jesus…

may You be able to say that through me!

Work through me and those I love and with whom I serve

to spread Your message rapidly!

May the good news of Your salvation be honored

and may many come to faith in You!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Shallum…and his fellow gatekeepers…were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. In earlier times Phinehas…was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. Zechariah…was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:19-21)

You place a high priority on guarding the entrances to Your dwellings, Jesus!

May I do the same –

never allowing anyone or anything to enter my life
that would compromise my relationship with You!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, ‘Ask for whatever you want me to give you.’ Solomon answered…‘I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties…So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.’”
(1 Kings 3:5,7,9)

Good answer, Solomon.

That truly pleased You, Jesus.

How many people would have asked for wealth, long life – even revenge?

Give me, LORD…

only what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.”
(1 Samuel 3:8-9)

I haven’t heard Your Voice calling me by name in the night, Jesus.

So let me begin the conversation:

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.”
(Numbers 5:8)

Bottom line?

It all belongs to You, Jesus!

You created everything I have.

You loan it to me to use and enjoy.

But no matter whose name is on it

it all goes back to You.

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 humbled with gratitude:

“…as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the Lord and the priests came to the other side while the people watched. That day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him all the days of his life, just as they had stood in awe of Moses.”
(Joshua 4:11, 14)

When You give me a job, Jesus

You grant me the power – and when necessary –

the respect from others
required to achieve it.

Pray this Lazaroo in no-matter-what trust:

“…the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead, not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave us all of them.”
(Deuteronomy 2:35-36)

Thank You for giving us seasons like Jesus!

Please help us remember them

when You lead us through the dark valleys of loss.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep respect:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to the Israelites: “Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.”’”
(Numbers 5:5-7)

I’ve gotta believe, Jesus…

if we followed Your rule today

a lot fewer of us
would choose to wrong another.
