Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
(Ephesians 3:17-19)

The depth of Your love for me, Jesus

is beyond my understanding!

Fill me all the way full with Yourself!

so in everything I think, say and do
I can love You back.

Pray this Lazaroo with profound gratitude:

“Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”
(Song of Songs 3:5)

It sounds like Solomon’s wife may have learned the hard way, Jesus:

Don’t force it.

Or even better:

You can’t force it!

True love is a choice.

Which is why I’m thrilled to realize:

You chose to love me!

which is why with all my heart:

I choose to love You!

Pray this Lazaroo with all your heart:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is…no love…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

Of course, there’s love of a kind, Jesus…

just not true love.

We love things –

often, the wrong things.

We love what we can get out of people

instead of loving the people who give.

We say we love You

but words are cheap.

To love You means to obey You.

and that’s expensive!

Of course, it also pays off –

for those who have faith.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid determination:

“People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.”
(Isaiah 2:19)

If we love and fear You now, Jesus

we’ll shout for joy in that day
fearless and triumphant!

But if we disdain and ignore You now

that day will be horrific terror
like nothing we’ve ever known.

I’m taking my stand with You.

Now!

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting desire:

“Seek the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:3)

At first that sounds strange, Jesus.

You’re everywhere!
How hard can it be to find You?

Besides, You’ve come to me times beyond counting
helping me, encouraging me, rescuing me.

But there’s always more of You to discover, isn’t there?

I’m only scratching the surface.
My knowledge of You is woefully incomplete.

Your greatness knows no limit!

The only limit is how passionately, persistently, relentlessly

I desire to know, love and follow You.
