Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

I belong to You lock, stock and barrel –
body, spirit, soul, mind and heart –

not only because You made me

but because You declared I would be Yours before I was ever born
then called me to Yourself

to which I responded yes! with all my heart
after which You justified me
and are now glorifying me by giving me

Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with every ounce of your being:

“Then I said, ‘Put a clean turban on his head.’ So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.”
(Zechariah 3:5)

That’s what I need, Jesus.

Please. I beg You:
Put a clean turban on my head.

Erase from me every sinful thought.

Purify every brain wave of my mind .

Work the miracle necessary

to help me forgive from my heart
those who have sinned against me.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt adoration:

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
(1 Peter 2:2-3)

Yes, I have, Jesus.

I have tasted.

You are indeed good!

But I haven’t stopped with a taste.

I’ve returned again and again to Your well that never runs dry.

I’ve tipped up the vessel of Your Word and drunk deeply.

You have filled my heart, soul, mind and spirit

to overflowing!

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away…”
(Ezekiel 3:14)

This was happening in the vision You gave Ezekiel, Jesus –

a wondrous miracle of clarity and holy revelation!

Your visions are so real

that it’s hard to tell whether they’re happening in the body
or exclusively in the heart, soul, spirit, emotions and mind.

O Holy Spirit!

By Vision or Dream or in the body –
Lift me up and take me wherever You want me to go!

Pray this Lazaroo with single minded intent:

“…rid yourselves of all malice…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Is there any malice in me, Jesus? Even a tiny shred of it?

If so, expunge every hint of it from every shadow and molecule
of my heart, mind, soul, emotions, body and being!

I know what it is to be the victim of malice.

It’s hell on earth.

No matter what anyone has said or done to me

I absolutely refuse to be guilty of a single
malicious thought, word or deed.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 2:8)

Seriously, Jesus?

They actually tried to hide from You –
the One who made them –

and the trees they were cowering behind?

There’s no hiding from You, is there?

Nor – unless like Adam and Eve I’ve sinned –
would I ever try to.

So since this whole “hiding from You” thing is utterly futile

help me refocus my mind, passions and energy

on wholehearted, guilt-free

obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“As a result…”
(Mark 1:45)

That’s what every one of my actions has, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A result.

It’s what every word I speak has, too:

a result.

Nor is my mind exempt! Every thought I think has

a result.

Since that’s the case, I dare not

do what I want to do
say what I feel like saying
let my thoughts run

without first thinking through their consequences and what will happen

as a result.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules.”
(2 Timothy 2:5)

You’re telling me the same thing applies to me, aren’t You, Jesus?

If I want to win Heaven’s crown, Your one rule is pretty simple:

Believe in You.

Of course, if I truly believe in You,

I’ll love and obey You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength
and love my neighbor as myself.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“James, Peter and John, those esteemed as pillars…”
(Galatians 2:9)

I’d say so, Jesus!

James, your half-brother

author of the New Testament book that bears his name

Peter, one of Your twelve apostles

author of two New Testament books that bear his name

John, the beloved apostle

author of four New Testament books that bear his name

I’m no pillar in Your Church, Jesus

but I long to follow You as they did
with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…not see the first rays of dawn.”
(Job 3:9)

Some people never see the first rays of dawn, Jesus.

They’re fast asleep.

Others could if they wanted to

but they’re busy inside.

Still others can’t see the sun’s first rays or anything else

because they’re blind.

Those first rays are precious, Jesus!

May I never take them for granted.

They signify that You’ve granted me one more day

to serve You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
