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 in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“If we disown him, he will also disown us…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

I will never do that, Jesus!

I want You, I need You, I love You
I have to have You!

You’re my only hope for a good life on this earth.

You’re my only hope for eternal life in heaven.
I’m sure not going to qualify on my own!

Why would anyone disown You, Jesus?

They’ve bought Satan’s lies, haven’t they?
And it’s costing them everything.

Pray this Lazaroo from a tender heart:

“turn, my lover…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Solomon’s bride wants him to turn toward her and love her, Jesus

just as You call us to turn away
from those things that distract us from loving You.

How can I show You my love today?

Certainly, what I’m doing right now, is one way.
So is reading, studying, obeying Your Word in my life.

But it also includes helping others
and sharing Your good news of salvation with the lost.

Pray this Lazaroo in repentant sorrow:

“Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers…?”
(Malachi 2:10)

How many Godly people have gone before me, Jesus?

Not merely those I know…
what about those I’ve never met or heard of?

How many prayers did they pray for me –

not even knowing my name?

All they knew was they wanted those who would come after them

to love and follow You with their whole hearts
just as they themselves did.

In me:

Answer their prayers!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Spread your protection over…those who love your name…”
(Psalms 5:11)

I love Your Name, Jesus!

Please spread Your protection over me.

Having said that

I confess that I don’t love Your Name nearly enough.

Help me love You as You deserve!

Your Name is Wonderful…Counselor…the Mighty God…Prince of Peace.

You’re the Alpha and Omega…the Everlasting Father…the Bread of Life

Chief Cornerstone…my Deliverer…Faithful and True

the Good Shepherd…Great High Priest

Light of the World…the Author and Perfecter of my Faith.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…whom we confess.”
(Hebrews 3:1)

Okay, Jesus…

I confess that I know You –

not as well as I should
but enough to love You with all my heart.

I confess that I need You!

Because of my sins, I was on my to hell
before You saved me.

I confess that I’m not living for You as I should –

but that I’m giving it all I’ve got
to become everything You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.”
(2 Timothy 2:5)

You’re telling me the same thing applies to me, aren’t You, Jesus?

If I want to win Heaven’s crown, Your one rule is pretty simple:

Believe in You.

Of course, if I truly believe in You,

I’ll love and obey You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength
and love my neighbor as myself.
