Pray this Lazaroo with an open heart:

‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
(Zechariah 3:10)

That is a day, Jesus! A very special day.

It’s one thing to have enough for my family, my friends and myself.

But it’s a new day
when I have enough to share with my neighbors
some of whom, perhaps, I hardly know.

You love generosity.

But there’s a reason for that:

Unimaginable Generosity is who You Are!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”
(2 Kings 4:3-4)

She didn’t have enough oil to fill even one jar, Jesus.

But before You worked the miracle
You required her – in an act of faith –
to collect a houseful of empty jars.

All my empty jars are sitting here, Jesus!

Ready.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate indignation:

“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!”
(Habakkuk 2:15)

They were doing that 2,600 years ago, Jesus

and they’re still doing it today.

But this isn’t merely about drunkenness, nudity and voyeurism, is it?

In that case, we might think it doesn’t apply to us.

This is about taking advantage of someone.

Now that…

may hit a little closer home.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, ‘His name is John.’ Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things.”
(Luke 1:63-65)

When Zechariah didn’t believe You, Jesus

You struck him “dumb – meaning unable to talk.

When anyone else doesn’t believe You

that’s evidence of the other kind of “dumb.”

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.”
(Luke 1:58)

Elizabeth was old when she gave birth, Jesus.

Other Jewish women most likely looked down on her
supposing God had kept her from having children
because she was guilty of some secret sin.

Zechariah loved her too much to divorce her
though that was his legal right, since she had not conceived.

Oh, how wonderful –

when You come to our rescue!

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led discernment:

“…according to their clans…”
(Numbers 3:39)

What’s my clan, Jesus?

My family of origin?
My circle of friends?
The people at work?
My neighbors?
My state?
My country?
My church?

Could I possibly have more than one clan?

Maybe…but why does any of that matter?

Well…because the people I’m with influence me, don’t they?

…and I them.

Show me who You want to make up my clan, Father!

…and help me leave every clan
injurious to my spiritual health.

Take courage as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So she sent them away…”
(Joshua 2:21)

Rahab sent Your spies away, Jesus

because they had reached an agreement.

Of course, there are other reasons to send people away.

The first that comes to mind
are those people I have no business being with.

They might be friends, business associates, neighbors.

They may be members of my own family.

But there’s no escaping it:

Bad company corrupts good character.

So what if they won’t leave?

Then I have to.

Pray this Lazaroo with mature understanding:

“If he has done you any wrong…”
(Philemon 1:18)

Total strangers seldom do me wrong, Jesus.

It’s my friends, family, coworkers, neighbors
who wrong me the most.

They’re the ones with whom I try to figure out this thing called, “life.”

Sometimes their solutions run afoul of mine.

Of course, that shoe’s on my foot, too.

They probably think I’ve sometimes done them wrong
whether or not I agree.

Please help us let go of it!

and move on.
