Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!”
(Hebrews 5:11-12)

I don’t know why those people didn’t try to understand, Jesus.

But they’re not me.
I long to understand!

I’m begging You: Help me understand!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. [Friends]: Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love.”
(Song of Songs 5:1)

You’ve placed the Song of Songs in the middle of our Bibles, Jesus

to remind us You’re the Creator of sexual love

and when it’s kept between a husband and wife

it’s beautiful and holy!

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.”
(Song of Songs 4:10-11)

Such over-the-top language may embarrass us, Jesus.

But unless I miss my guess

Solomon’s Shulammite bride
loved every word of it!

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.”
(1 Corinthians 3:1-2)

I long for you to address me

as someone who lives by Your Spirit, Jesus!

Please remove every shred of worldliness from me!

I long to be ready
for solid food.

Pray this Lazaroo in bated breath anticipation:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

This is a fascinating command, Jesus.

Many of us who have trusted You as our Savior
view our salvation as a single event.

We said, “Yes!” to the good news
that You paid for our sins on the cross
and three days later rose from the dead.

But now – oh the excitement!

…to learn there’s more.

Pray this Lazaroo with a teachable heart:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Some people make fun of spiritual milk, Jesus

but You don’t.

Those same people claim they’re ready for meat

when in fact, their dismissal of spiritual milk
may indicate they’re not yet ready to be weaned.

I want to grow up, LORD!

I long to become mature and complete in You.

Is it possible…

that I’ll never outgrow my need for milk?

As you pray this Lazaroo…remember!

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Do I remember when I was like that, Jesus –

right after I first gave myself to You?

I certainly craved pure spiritual milk then!

I attended Bible studies, never missed a church service.
If there was something You wanted me to do, I did it!

What do I crave now?

Restore to me the heart of a newborn, Father!

not with immaturity

but in passionate desire for You and Your Word.
