Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Joshua…said to them, ‘Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you.’”
(Joshua 4:4-6)

You had just worked an amazing miracle, Jesus.

They set those stones in the middle of the Jordan
to make certain they would always remember what You did.

What stones do I need to set – and where?

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”
(Joshua 4:2-3)

You wanted to make certain they remembered this miracle, didn’t You, Jesus?

May I never, never, never forget all You have done for me

…even if I have to erect a pile of stones somewhere!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer.”
(Revelation 2:10)

That’s a tough command to obey, Jesus!

That word, “suffer” gets my attention.

For You to tell me not to be afraid of it is a challenge.

I don’t like to suffer.

That’s like telling me, “I’m about to hit you, but just relax.”

Not my strong suit.

But You’re encouraging me to trust You

because You’ll make sure
I’ll come out better on the other side.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…your backsliding will rebuke you.”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Has it ever, Jesus!

Has it ever.

When I truly visualize everything I’ve lost

I drop to my knees…then to my face…
in anguish.

How stupid! How foolish! How unimaginably dense, blind, shortsighted!

But I’d be wise not to spend any more time beating myself up.

I need every ounce of energy left in my body
to make certain from this moment forward

I stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter conviction:

“…there is one God…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

A lot of people don’t want to hear that, Jesus.

One reason is their distaste for accountability.
They don’t want to admit there is any God at all.

Another reason is their distaste for homework.

If God exists and there’s only one of Him

that puts a whole lot of pressure on them to be absolutely certain

which of all the gods out there is You
meaning all the others

are false.
