Pray this Lazaroo in solemn recognition:

“His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.”
(Psalm 10:7-9)

The key to this description, Jesus?

“…like a lion…”

You’re the Lion of Judah.

Satan is trying to be like You

and spectacularly failing.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: ‘…the people living in darkness have seen a great light’…Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’”
(Matthew 4:14, 16-17)

That wasn’t the only Old Testament prophecy You fulfilled, Jesus!

There are at least 323 others.

Mathematician Peter Stoner calculated the probability

of one person fulfilling just 48 of them.

The odds against that?

One in 10, followed by 157 zeros!

Oh, yeah.

You’re the Messiah.

 Plan with humility as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed…”
(2 Corinthians 2:3)

Sometimes that helps, Jesus.

Sometimes I can fix things from afar
prepare the way without being there.

When it works, it’s a real time-saver.

But there are times when I have to leave where I am

and go where they are.

Long distance has its benefits

and its limitations.

But which to use when?

Oh, how I need Your wisdom, Father!
Every day.
