Wednesday, June 28, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him…”
(Mark 3:6-8)

In the face of these threats, Jesus

You didn’t stay and fight.
You simply went somewhere else and stayed on mission.

Please show me when that is exactly the response

You want me to have.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Many nations will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”
(Micah 4:2)

May that day come soon, Jesus!

Sadly, in my day,
more and more nations
are turning away from You,
refusing to be taught Your ways,
straying from Your righteous paths.

Great God!

Send revival!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 4:10-12)

These were Your words through King David to his son, the future King Solomon.

But they’re also Your words to me, Jesus.

You call me to walk in the way of wisdom

to make these promises come true in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.”
(Esther 4:3)

Horrible news does that to us, Jesus!

For the Jews, this news was about as bad as it gets.

The king had issued a decree
that made it legal to destroy their entire nation.

But as You do again and again for Your hurting people

You were about to turn that bad news upside down!

Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
(James 3:2)

Of the many ways I can sin, Jesus

it’s most likely to happen
when I open my mouth.

That makes me want to keep my mouth shut.

But the problem with that solution is this:

If I only think it,
it’s still a sin.

No one else may know it
but You do

because You read minds.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting anticipation:

“Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.”
(1 Chronicles 9:2)

There’s nothing like coming home, Jesus.

Well…that’s true if home is a good place.

Many people have had bad experiences growing up.

So for them, returning home would be painful.

But here’s the beautiful thing I’ve got to keep in mind:

This world is not my home!

My home is with You, in heaven.

Oh, what a joy it will be
to go home.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.”
(Colossians 2:4)

As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus

there are so many people out there
who enjoy deceiving others.

That’s the work of Satan, isn’t it?

They don’t believe in You.
They couldn’t!

If they believed in a God who sees and hears and knows all

there’s no way in this world
they would practice this kind of deceit.

I’m begging You, Father:

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.”
(John 2:23-25)

I wouldn’t blame You for not entrusting Yourself to me, Jesus.

You know exactly what’s in me.

But You did!

You gave Yourself for me on the cross!

to purify me until inside and out
I think, speak and behave

like one of Your own.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai…”
(Haggai 1:1)

It’s not every day that You speak out loud to someone on earth, Jesus.

If You spoke like that to me
I’d mark the date too.

I’d probably make a note of the time, as well.

How often I’ve wished You would tell me exactly what You want me to do!

Though I don’t in any way, shape or form deserve it,
I know You can.

But there’s a reason You don’t.

Probably many reasons.

One of which is You’re waiting on me

to pay attention to what You’ve already spoken to me

through Your Word.

Friday, October 28, 2022

 

Pray this Lazaroo with deep conviction:

“The sons of Ulam were brave warriors who could handle the bow. They had many sons and grandsons—150 in all.”
(1 Chronicles 8:40)

The ability to handle a bow is a gift, Jesus.

Without that gift, no one can be great at it.

But just because I’ve been given a gift

doesn’t mean I don’t have to develop it
and practice, practice, practice.

Show me the gifts You’ve given me, Holy Spirit!

and give me the determination to develop them
to their full, life-changing potential.
