Pray this Lazaroo armed for battle:

“…you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’”
(Exodus 3:18)

When You meet with me through Your Word and send me on a mission

I have no choice but to obey

even – or especially!
when the mission is to go to an unbeliever.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…every face turns pale.”
(Joel 2:6)

Some faces turn pale over the smallest thing, Jesus.

But when every face turns pale
we’re talking about something truly terrifying.

You are so kind, so loving – even longsuffering.

It takes repeated, calloused, uncaring disobedience
to force You into doling out this kind of punishment
on the people You love with all Your heart.

But that’s what love does

when nothing else works

when the one You deeply cherish

no longer pays attention.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Joab…and David’s men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon.”
(2 Samuel 2:13)

This was a showdown, Jesus.

Mana a mano.
Shootout at the OK Corral.

Hundreds of brave, valiant soldiers were about to die.

Was there a better way to settle this?

Absolutely.

All they had to do was obey You.

But half of them wouldn’t
so the other half had no choice.

Give me the courage to fight

but always on Your side.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying hope:

“…nor will they train for war anymore.”
(Isaiah 2:4)

The best way to win a war is to train for it, Jesus.

So as long as the potential exists

for someone to go to war against me
or those for whom I’m responsible

I’d better train to fight it and win it.

That’s not how I prefer to spend my time.

But until You come and defeat all who desire to kill, steal and destroy

I’m left with no choice.
