Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.”
(Joshua 4:9)

What an awesome reminder of that miracle, Jesus!

We need reminders.

Because too often
we forget.

That usually happens

when we ask You for something that isn’t best
and don’t get it.

Maybe I need to set up some physical reminders

of the things You’ve done for me!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“The Lord their God…will restore their fortunes.”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

When things were going well for me, Jesus, I loved it.

I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I discovered:

It wasn’t.

My sins caused some of it – maybe all of it.

But it might have simply been
that You needed me to fight some of Your battles.

If my suffering is caused by sin, I’ve got to repent!

Either way, I long to live once more

under the spout
where Your glory comes out!

Pray this Lazaroo with a corrected attitude:

“…receiving no help…”
(3 John 1:7)

When I ask for help and no one responds

it makes me feel lonely, abandoned, even unloved, Jesus!

But should I have that response?

It’s not like I’ve helped everyone
who would have appreciated my help.

So what’s my problem?

It’s a learning opportunity, isn’t it?

Maybe the time wasn’t right.
Maybe I didn’t ask the right people.
Maybe I’m supposed to do it myself.

After all, I’m never alone.

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led discernment:

“…according to their clans…”
(Numbers 3:39)

What’s my clan, Jesus?

My family of origin?
My circle of friends?
The people at work?
My neighbors?
My state?
My country?
My church?

Could I possibly have more than one clan?

Maybe…but why does any of that matter?

Well…because the people I’m with influence me, don’t they?

…and I them.

Show me who You want to make up my clan, Father!

…and help me leave every clan
injurious to my spiritual health.

Pray this Lazaroo in everlasting gratitude:

“…he will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Are there any sweeter words in any language, Jesus?

Maybe…but not many.

I know my sins.

Not all of them, certainly.
There are too many to keep count.

But some of those I do remember haunt me.

I wish I had never committed them.
In fact, I can’t think of a single sin I don’t regret.

But O Jesus!

I’m stunned!

Because of my faith in You
You’ve forgiven all my sins!

Forever!

Friday, June 14, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…send them on their way…”
(3 John 1:6)

That can be a euphemism for saying goodbye, Jesus.

But sometimes people don’t want to leave
even though I desperately want them to.

Maybe it’s because they’re lonely.

In that case, help me cut them some slack
and love on them a little more before they go.

But please help me recognize when it’s because they’re killing time!

so I can wisely, kindly, firmly
send them on their way without delay.
