Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family, there is another who is more closely related than I.”
(Ruth 3:12)

Naomi had it all worked out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

Boaz would marry Ruth and give Naomi grandbabies.

Well, in fact, that’s exactly what happened!

Eventually.

But first, they had to face a huge, unexpected roadblock.

May I never fear the roadblocks Satan sets up in my life, Father.

Because nothing and nobody
can thwart Your Will!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.”
(Luke 2:25-26)

You reveal insider information, Jesus

to those who are sold out to You.

That’s who I long to be

but nobody can do that for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in peaceful trust:

“In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them…”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

Ashkelon was one of the most secure, well-defended cities of its day, Jesus.

Those who lived there could sleep soundly

knowing they were protected by a huge wall on the land side
and by a high natural bluff on the side facing the sea.

But may I always remember:

Without Your protection, nobody is safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king…”
(Ezra 4:8)

I don’t care who wrote such a letter, Jesus.

Whether it’s the president of the United States
one of the 43 kings who reign over countries today
or the high potentate of all high potentates on earth

Nobody – but nobody! –

had dare take a stand against Jerusalem
the holy place You chose above everywhere on earth

for Your Name to dwell.

Pray this Lazaroo with self-evaluation:

“Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke…”
(Philemon 1:23-24)

Everybody wanted in on the greetings, Jesus.

And no wonder!

Philemon was a wealthy leader in Your early Church
deeply respected by the other believers.

I can’t help but wonder, though…

would they have been as eager to greet a poor nobody?

Would I?

Wealthy leaders receive many greetings.

But warm words mean a whole lot more
to poor nobodies.
