Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…”
(Philemon 1:6)

Do I ever need my understanding deepened, Jesus!

Certainly, that requires time each day in Your Word
Seasons of prayer, as I pour out my heart to You
and seek Your Face.

But it also requires action.

As I study and pray
You want me to go and grow

through ministry to Your people
and navigating among those
who are not Your people.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“…we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”
(2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1)

Keep the transformation coming, Jesus.

I have such a long way to go!

But I trust You. I believe in You. I know You Are God and I know You are Good.

I will not lose heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast love:

“Jesus answered him, ‘It is also written: ”‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”’”
(Matthew 4:7)

You were battling Satan at the beginning of Your public ministry, Jesus.

He tried to get You to jump off the temple
to prove You’re the Son of God.

You’ve proved that over and over again!

But not in that foolish way.

I have no right to demand anything from You.

You’ve already proved Yourself to me and the world

times beyond counting.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“…the overseer is to be above reproach…”
(1 Timothy 3:2)

You’ve set the overseer bar awfully high, Jesus

and for good reason.

If the overseer stumbles or falls, it’s a domino effect:

A whole lot of people can get hurt.

That’s why Satan relentlessly and ferociously attacks the overseer –

along with their family, friends and ministries, isn’t it?

To be above reproach
doesn’t mean to be above attack.

During the time You walked this earth

constant attack

is exactly what Satan did to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother…”
(Philemon 1:1)

He was the great Apostle Paul, Jesus

but not one molecule of his body wanted to make it all about him.

He willingly shared his leadership with the young man Timothy

to encourage him and validate his ministry with others.

How can I do less?

Show me the younger people You’ve placed in my life

for that very purpose –

and may I be as generous with them

as You have been with me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
(2 Corinthians 3:9-11)

The ”good old days” can’t compare with these, Jesus.

I’m exactly where I need to be:

doing what You’ve called me to do
being who You’ve called me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with hot anticipation:

“Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?”
(2 Corinthians 3:7-8)

So no more looking back with envy, Jesus!

Yes, You did marvelous things long ago!

Hallelujah!

But by faith I declare to the skies:

Your best is yet to come!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God.”
(2 Corinthians 3:3-4)

That’s the letter of recommendation I desire, Jesus!

I’m not asking for a piece of paper.

All I need to see

is that through me

You continue to transform lives!
