Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

This is how You punished Your disobedient nation, Jesus!

Wow.

You could have scorched the land, making it utterly useless for anything.

But You didn’t.
Instead, in the midst of Your disciplining anger

You turned the land they had defiled
into a blessing.

You’ve done that time and again for me!

Even while You’re correcting me
You’re blessing me in ways I would have never expected.

O God!
You Are Awesome!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.”
(Joshua 3:16-17)

Moses gets all the attention for miraculously crossing the Red Sea, Jesus

but You also did the same thing through Joshua!

Second time or no, a miracle is a miracle.

For the second googolth time, Father
keep working Your miracles through us…

…and unworthy me.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…with nothing to fear…The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate, filling his lairs with the kill and his dens with the prey.”
(Nahum 2:11-12)

This is imagery, Jesus.

You’re not really talking about lions.

You’re rebuking a sinful nation
who once acted like the king of beasts

but who now, because of their disobedience
have lost their fangs.

Do I live in such a country, Father?

Among a people once righteous and strong
who have forsaken You?

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“‘I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.’ People will oppress each other—man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored.”
(Isaiah 3:4-5)

If this is how You punish a people’s sinful behavior, Jesus

I would say my city, state, nation –

and this entire world –

are being punished.

LORD, send revival! Fall on this land!

You’ve done it before.

Please, Father:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Take it to heart! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins. At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted.”
(Zephaniah 2:4)

Wow, Jesus:

“Abandoned. Left in ruins.
Emptied. Uprooted.”

I wouldn’t want any of those to happen to me

let alone all of them!

But this is exactly what will happen on the day of Your wrath

to the cities of this –

or any country –

that repeatedly defies You.

O God!

Send a revival to my nation!

To the world!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Deliverers will go up…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Oh, how we need that to happen, Jesus!

Please! Bring it to pass!

Raise up deliverers for our entire world

for our nation
for our churches
for our families
for me.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Do You desire to use me as one of Your deliverers?

Will You call me to go up in behalf of others

even as others are going up in behalf of me?

Now, that is a surprise!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel…”
(Galatians 2:14)

That’s when I’m forced to speak up, isn’t it, Jesus?

In a company, nation, church, community, project, group of friends

the first steps may seem right

but if over time there’s a blatant departure –

or a subtle one –

I can’t remain mute.

I have to speak up:

wisely, humbly, respectfully…
but firmly.

If I’m ignored, I have to keep trying

or get out.

“…knowing that you will do…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I can’t thank You enough, Jesus

for the people who are so honorable, so diligent
so conscientious, so reliable, so trustworthy

that if it’s in their power to act,

I know what they will do.

I know they’ll follow through
pay whatever price
do whatever it takes

to get ‘er done.

Station such people all around me, LORD –

in my family, church, workplace, community.

and may I be counted in their number.
