Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus!

You’ve created us all in Your Image.

Some of us act like it most of the time.
Others seldom act like it.

But sadly, none of us acts like it all of the time.

Please forgive me for the times
when I’ve acted like an animal!

and may I increasingly
reflect Your likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed faith:

“I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.”
(Revelation 3:9)

Only You can do something like that, Jesus.

You can make any of us do anything –

anytime You please.

Of course, most of the time You give us information

leaving it up to us to make the right choice.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Let everyone call urgently on God.”
(Jonah 3:8)

When do I pray like this, Jesus?

When do ask everyone I know to pray like this?

Sometime it’s when there’s an opportunity to do something great.

But most of the time
it’s when I’ve run out of options
and disaster is imminent.

Is that happening anywhere in my life right now?

Anywhere in the lives of others?

Always.

Time for me – for all of us – to call urgently on You!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.”
(Exodus 3:21)

You’re amazing, Jesus.

Not only do You steer the hearts of kings like a watercourse
wherever You please

but You do the same thing with every single one of us
whenever it’s best.

Absolutely nothing can thwart Your plan of the ages!

Do we have free will?

Most of the time, yes.

Except when You say otherwise.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“So Moses counted all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him.”
(Numbers 3:42)

Is that what You liked most about Moses, Jesus?

He did what You commanded him.

Is that true of me?

Do I do what You command me?

Yes.
Most of the time.

But that’s not good enough, is it?

It wasn’t for Moses.

The one time he didn’t do what You told him
it cost him the Promised Land.

From now on, LORD:

I’m shooting for 100%.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble awareness:

“…who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?”
(1 Corinthians 2:11)

It upsets me, Jesus…

when somebody thinks they know what I’m thinking
or why I did what I did.

Most of the time, they’re wrong.

So why am I so quick to judge the motivations of others?

Am I judging them by what I would have done under their circumstances?

If so, then I’m judging myself.

Maybe if I stop sowing that seed

I’ll quit reaping it.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“They…forded the river…”
(Joshua 2:23)

– the very river the entire army was about to cross on dry land, Jesus!

But this first time
Joshua’s two spies had to get wet to make it across.

No surprise.

You do it both ways, don’t You?

Sometimes You perform a miracle.

But most of the time You supply the strength
for me to accomplish Your tasks the old-fashioned way

requiring me to work, stretch, struggle.

But that’s okay!

Either way…

I win.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David’s men.”
(2 Samuel 2:17)

You determine the outcome of every battle, Jesus!

The size of each army doesn’t matter.

The one You declare the victor

is the one who will win.

Not some of the time.
Not most of the time.
Every time.

How many more battles will I face, Father?

It doesn’t matter, does it?

So long as I faithfully, passionately follow You

I’ll prevail in every one.
