Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink.”
(2 John 1:12)

Of course, John didn’t have available what we do, Jesus.

He didn’t have a cell phone.
He didn’t have email or text.
He didn’t have social media, Face Time or Zoom.

No doubt He would have used the living daylights out of those tools!

But something tells me there would still be times for him

as there are today

when nothing but face-to-face will do.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo with absolute sincerity:

“Rend your heart and not your garments.”
(Joel 2:13)

That had become the custom, hadn’t it, Jesus –

tearing their clothes upon hearing of something disastrous.

When that custom first began, it was no doubt powerful

because it came straight from the heart.

But over the years, people began doing it because it was expected

even when it didn’t truly touch their hearts.

O God! I know what You want!

Not merely my outward behavior.

In repentance…

You want my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“He chased Abner…”
(2 Samuel 2:19)

There were a lot of people the fleet-footed Asahel could have safely chased, Jesus

but the commander Abner wasn’t one of them.

No doubt Asahel picked him because he was the biggest prize

but sadly, he didn’t know what to do with him when he caught him

and it cost him his life.

What am I chasing that I shouldn’t be, LORD?

Don’t let me catch it.

I’d rather be slow

than dead.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith –”
(Ephesians 2:8)

It’s being sure of what I hope for, isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s being certain of what I don’t yet see

taking Your Word over what my senses report
above what others say
in spite of the circumstances.

You love that!

It means I trust You no matter what.

I’m not hedging my bets, Father.

Everything I’ve got – past, present and future –
is all on You.
