Go ahead, be impressed as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. He even removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylon.”
(Ezra 5:13-14)

Why would a mighty king

just one day up and decide to do such a thing, Jesus?

Because You put it in his heart
and made him do it.

I’m in pretty good Hands, aren’t I?

Pray this Lazaroo…without excuse:

“We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago…But because our ancestors angered the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.”
(Ezra 5:11-12)

They knew, Jesus!

and didn’t try to hide it.

So often, we pretend we’re innocent.

We complain – as though we don’t deserve
the bad things happening to us.

But I know better.

I confess!
Have mercy on me!

Stand strong! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace.”
(Daniel 3:19-20)

That had to be terrifying, Jesus!

They stood strong for You
and it was about to cost them their lives.

Satan set up this moment, confident they would back down.

But they didn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Nebuchadnezzar said to them “…if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
(Daniel 3:14-15)

He was about to find out, wasn’t he, Jesus?

I don’t know how many Christians have died under similar circumstances.

But this time, You had enough of his disrespect.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…astrologers came forward and…said to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘…Your Majesty has issued a decree that…whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews …who…neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.’”
(Daniel 3:8-12)

These conniving enemies of Yours thought they had it all figured out, Jesus.

But they were wrong!

You were about to turn their schemes back on them.

I’d sincerely appreciate it if You’d do the same

to all my unrepentant enemies.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo in total awareness:

“King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up.”
(Daniel 3:1-2)

King Nebuchadnezzar got a bit full of himself, didn’t he, Jesus?

He thought he had made himself great.

He hadn’t.

As with every one of my accomplishments

it’s all You.

Pray this Lazaroo filled with wonder:

“While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer.”
(Daniel 2:34-35)

Through Daniel, You were telling the king what he had dreamed, Jesus!

Only You. Only You. Only You.

O God.
I’m in awe!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.”
(Daniel 2:31-33)

You told Daniel exactly what King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream, Jesus!

And no wonder.
You’re the one who gave the dream –

not for him alone
but also for us.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.”
(Daniel 2:29)

You Are the Revealer of Mysteries, Jesus!

You revealed Your mysteries to Daniel
so he could reveal them to the king.

I have no idea why You wanted King Nebuchadnezzar to know these things.

But I can guess at why You revealed them to Daniel:

He’s one of your all-time favorites!

…as I long to be.
