Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.”
(Esther 4:1)

Mordecai felt exactly the way most of us would feel, Jesus

when confronted with horrific, disastrously unacceptable news.

He was right.

The threatened annihilation of all the Jews was catastrophic.

But He was also wrong.

Because You were about to turn this unthinkable situation
into stunning victory.

Help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to lose it over bad news.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.”
(Esther 3:13)

How could such an evil thing happen, Jesus –

especially to Your chosen people?

It was because You were about to rescue them
and also destroy their enemies!

Help me to remember that

next time something evil shows up at my door.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.”
(Haggai 2:22)

When You punish my enemies who are attacking me, Jesus

You do so with devastating power!

Not only that – I don’t have to defend myself.

You’re Able to turn them against one another!

Please help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to retaliate.
