Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Why do you now cry aloud—have you no king? Has your ruler perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion…you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.”
(Micah 4:9-10)

When my sins have cost me my home, Jesus

is all lost?

No.

Even in a strange and foreign land

You can rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.”
(Jonah 4:1)

There are a lot of things going on right now, Jesus

that seem very wrong to me.

Am I going to be like Jonah?

Am I going to be angry about it
shake my fist in Your face

and charge You with wrongdoing?

Even worse

am I going to lose faith
conclude You no longer intervene
in the affairs of earth?

NO!

I put all my trust in You!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“But if you will seek God earnestly and plead with the Almighty, if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your prosperous state. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.”
(Job 8:5-7)

Bildad’s prediction in Job’s behalf came true, Jesus.

I don’t know what my future holds.

But this I believe:

If I seek You earnestly
if with Your help I remain pure and upright

I won’t have to worry.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy…”
(2 Timothy 2:20-21)

So that’s my reward for cleansing myself, Jesus?

To be made holy?

I’ll take it!

Going to work on cleansing myself right now.

Wow. This is harder than I thought.

Only You!
Only You!
Only You!

Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”
(Nahum 3:1)

That’s what got to You the most, wasn’t it, Jesus?

The victims.

Those who lost their lives due to the monstrous cruelty embedded in Nineveh’s culture.

Those who lost loved ones, grieving without relief.
Broken promises, broken homes, broken lives.

It was all about the victims then

it’s all about the victims now.

You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever.

Our suffering
continues to break Your heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
(Revelation 3:14-16)

In the day-to-day struggle, Jesus

it’s so easy to lose my passion.

No, I don’t forsake You. I never stop believing. My love doesn’t grow cold.

But if it’s not burning hot
that has to change.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn awareness:

“…the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.”
(2 Chronicles 5:14)

There comes a time when what I do for You is no longer as important

as experiencing You, Jesus!

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment

1on1 with You.

Maybe that time is more often than I think.

Maybe that time is always.

Maybe that time is now.

If I don’t have that, then God help me…

I have nothing.

Seek Him now, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them. Then I will return to my lair until they have borne their guilt and seek my face—in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”
(Hosea 5:14-15)

I don’t want it to come to that, Jesus.

Let me own up to my guilt now.

May not misery, but love!

draw me into Your very heart.

Ask big! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then I said, ‘Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now…No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.’ ‘Very well,’ he said, ‘I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.’”
(Ezekiel 4:14-15)

Did Ezekiel talk You out of it, Jesus…

or was this a test?

Sometimes I don’t get what I want because I didn’t ask.

Even so, You say yes

only when it’s Your will!
