Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more. Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”
(Job 7:9-11)

This is the great Job at the lowest point of his life, Jesus…

before You lifted him out of the depths of despair

and put a new song in his heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.”
(Job 7:7-8)

This is absolutely how Job felt, Jesus

but what he felt was absolutely wrong.

He spoke out of the pain and bitterness of his immense suffering

supposing they would continue till the day he died.

They didn’t.

You stepped in and rescued him!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful perspective:

“So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”
(1 Corinthians 3:21-23)

It’s okay for us to be grateful for the leaders You’ve so gifted, Jesus

but not to put them on a pedestal of worship.

You’ve gifted us all…even me!

May I never forget that.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Has not the LORD Almighty determined…”
(Habakkuk 2:13)

I can stop the sentence right there, Jesus.

You’ve determined it all.

Everything that has happened, is happening, will happen –

has been decided by You.

Obviously, I don’t know most of what You’ve got cooking

except for those things You’ve spelled out in Your Word.

So for me

following You every step of the way

is the adventure of my lifetime!

Show me what You want me know!

No more…
and no less.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartbroken realization:

“…even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.”
(1 John 2:18)

It’s true, Jesus.

The number of people who reject You is growing exponentially.

There was a time when people who committed evil acts were ashamed.

They hid what they did and when confronted
either denied it or repented.

No more.

Increasingly, they flaunt Your Word and openly celebrate their sin.

Only You know whether this is the last hour

or the last minute.

Pray this Lazaroo in, “It’s a new day!” gratitude:

“Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD through him?”
(2 Kings 3:11)

It absolutely is a new day, Jesus!

For thousands of years
people sought Your guidance through prophets.

But You didn’t want to keep us at arm’s length!

To draw us near

our sins had to be erased
by Your heartbreaking sacrifice on the cross.

Now, those who’ve placed our trust in You

can go straight to You with every question.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“…he brought him to Jesus.”
(John 1:42)

May that be said of me, Jesus –

over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over again!

Satan wants to shut my mouth.

I’m ashamed to admit he’s won that battle countless times.

But I don’t want him to have the last laugh!

Give me the wisdom, courage and compassion
to bring to You two precious souls

for each one I’ve missed.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering…”
(Leviticus 4:25)

3,500 years ago

Your priests were working with animal blood, Jesus.

No more.

You’ve promoted every person who places their trust in You:

Now we’re all a kingdom of priests!

The blood You now honor, Father

is not that of goats, sheep, bulls and rams.

The blood that takes away the sins of all who believe –

including mine –

is that of Your own dear Son.

Pray this Lazaroo – overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…all the ungodly acts they have done…”
(Jude 1:15)

They say the Internet never forgets, Jesus –

that once I post something
it’s out there, somewhere in the ether, forever.

That used to be the case with my ungodly acts, didn’t it?

But no more.

In sorrow and repentance I’ve confessed my sins to You.

You’ve forgiven me.
Forever.

You’ve permanently, irrevocably blotted them out of Your mind

completely removing them –
as far as the east is from the west.
