Set your goals, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always. Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him…”
(1 Samuel 2:35-36)

You’re big on faithfulness, Jesus.
You greatly value obedience, too.

You reward those who are faithful and obedient

and punish those who aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“…the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30)

So much for the name-it-and-claim-it crowd, Jesus.

I can’t stand on every promise You’ve ever made
if I’m not standing faithfully with You.

May I honor you, my Savior

with everything I think, say and do!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate entreaty:

“Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, ‘Spare your people, Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, “Where is their God?”’”
(Joel 2:17)

You’re telling us how to pray, Jesus!

that is…if we want You to hear us:

with sincere, heartfelt, passionate weeping
with deep concern for the honor of Your Great Name.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“My message and my preaching…”
(1 Corinthians 2:4)

The message and the preaching…

they’re not the same, are they, Jesus?

You’re the one who gives the message.

The preacher is the one who delivers it.

Many a great message

has been diminished by a poor preacher.

But Your Word is so powerful and compelling

that even the worst of preachers

if they manage to quote from the Bible

can watch in awe

as You totally transform their hearer’s lives.
