Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…all generations will call me blessed.”
(Luke 1:48)

Your mother was right, Jesus.

All generations have called her blessed!

She gave birth to the One who gave life to her!

She got to see You grow up – literally, the perfect child.
She saw You work miracles, teach truth, become famous.

But Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her soul

also came true when she saw You crucified.

May I never forget that on this earth

pain accompanies blessing.

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So he got up…”
(Matthew 2:21)

Forgive me, Jesus, but isn’t that what Your stepdad did

when an angel told him to take Your mom home to be his wife
even though she was pregnant?

and what he did when an angel told him
to take You and Your mom to Egypt?

Now, he’s obeying the angel again –

taking You and Your mom back home to Israel.

Each time He got up and did it.

Sounds like a plan.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“…he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
(Luke 1:48)

Historians might wonder why Mary was chosen to be Your mother, Jesus

but Mary didn’t.

She immediately knew: It was her humble state.

Did that mean she was poor?
In part, yes.

But it was so much more.

She didn’t dip in and out of humility as she followed You.
That was her state – who she was all the time.

And so it must be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown worship:

“…the man Christ Jesus…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

You surely are, Jesus!

Fully man.

Your mother Mary was fully human

transferring her humanity to You.

If You weren’t human

You couldn’t have been tempted like I am
couldn’t have died for my sins.

Of course, God was Your Father

making You fully God –

the God-man!

which is why You said “No!” to every temptation
making You the perfect, sinless sacrifice

who rose from the dead to grant me eternal life.

Pray this Lazaroo in exultant faith:

“My soul glorifies the Lord…”
(Luke 1:46)

That’s pretty deep, Jesus.

Deeper than glorifying You with my mouth.
Deeper even than glorifying You with my mind.

Soul deep.

Glorifying You from the very center of my being
the essence of who I am.

No artifice, no pretense, no doing it for show.
The real thing.

Mary’s soul glorified You

because she was pregnant with the Savior of the world.

My soul glorifies You

because that same Savior
saves me.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Get up…”
(Matthew 2:20)

Joseph was fast asleep, Jesus, dreaming!

But I guess You knew that
since You’re the one who gave him the dream.

It was good news that he and Mary could go back home from Egypt

now that You had helped the murderer Herod exit this life
and move on to the next.

“Get up!” You told Joseph.

And he did.

Instant obedience.

You really like that in a person, don’t You?
Guess I’d better oblige.

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute trust:

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph…”
(Matthew 2:19)

Your mom, Joseph and You had to sit tight, Jesus

until Your Heavenly Father removed the man
who wanted to kill You.

Then Your angel showed up.

In a dream.

That couldn’t have been an ordinary dream!

or Joseph wouldn’t have trusted it.

How will I know if You send an angel to me?

I don’t have to worry, do I?
I’ll know.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The king replied, ‘Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

I know You can identify, Jesus.

When Your mother asked You to do something, You couldn’t say no…

even though You told her Your hour had not yet come.

This, though, was different.

When David heard his mother’s request
he had to turn her down.

O Holy Spirit!

Help me first find out what’s going on
before I stick my foot in my mouth.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
(Luke 1:43)

What a stunning statement, Jesus!

Elizabeth, an older woman, sees Mary coming to her –
a pregnant out-of-wedlock teenager.

What does she call Mary?

“The mother of my Lord!”

In that instant, You revealed to Elizabeth that You were the baby in Mary’s womb!

May I respond with joy and reverence when You send to me

the members of Your forever family.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“In a loud voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!’”
(Luke 1:42)

Elizabeth wasn’t exactly ashamed of her unwed pregnant relative, was she, Jesus?

Almost everyone else assumed the worst of your mother.

But not Elizabeth.

She had experienced the power of God.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, she prophesied blessing over You and Your mom.

May I always look first to You, LORD!
rather than judging by mere appearances.
