Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: “If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.”’”
(Zechariah 3:6-7)

You love doing this for us, Jesus –

giving us huge incentive to honor You.

Cause Your holy passion to rise within my soul

to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted commitment:

“…we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, ‘So I declared on oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.”’”
(Hebrews 4:2-3)

Hearing Your Word is no good to me, Jesus

if I don’t believe it.

But I do! Thank God, I do!

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest. Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, ‘Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.’”
(1 Kings 2:35-36)

Solomon was just following his daddy’s orders, Jesus.

King David knew what was necessary
to firmly establish his son’s throne.

I’m ready and willing to follow Your orders, Father!

Command me.
I’ll obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intent:

“My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 3:21-23)

Those are amazing promises, Jesus!

But it’s not generic wisdom You’re talking about, is it?

It’s Your wisdom
Your understanding

Gained by saturating my life in Your Word

followed by wholehearted obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo in determined passion:

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom…”
(Colossians 1:28)

It’s important to declare Your Name to our family, friends, city, nation and world, Jesus!

But having done so, it’s essential to admonish them
warning of the consequences if they reject You.

It’s vital that we teach them all about You
so they’ll learn to love and obey You as we do.

But the only way they’ll accept what we say

is when we speak with Your holy wisdom!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.”
(Haggai 2:21)

Getting an assignment like this from You would be a challenge, Jesus.

First of all, it’s hard to deliver bad news.

Secondly, news this huge and terrifying
would almost certainly directly impact me.

Finally, what if You didn’t do it in the governor’s lifetime?
I’d look like a false prophet.

But ultimately, none of that matters, does it?

My job is very simple:

Obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“We ought therefore…”
(3 John 1:8)

Three powerful words, Jesus!

How many times have You shown me truth
without seeing me act on it?

I hope none.
But I know better.

Sometimes I file it away to act on later
and never get around to doing so.

Not only that.

But that word “we” is meant to turn me into an evangelist.

The truth You so graciously share with me
is meant for everyone to act on, as well.

(Ruth 2:11)

That’s the kind of thing people do in honor of You, Jesus!

Ruth did all of that to stay with her mother-in-law Naomi

out of respect for the woman she loved
and in honor of the God Naomi worshiped:

You.

You’re worth every big time price I pay

every courageous action I take in obedience to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting obedience:

“…deal with them…”
(Lamentations 1:22)

…because I can’t, Jesus!

Oh, I can deal with my enemies

poorly
in a way
inadequately
blindly

but not like You can!

You know which of them I now regard as enemies

will one day become my friends.

You know which of them are acting innocently

and which are acting with evil, malevolent intent.

So I’m going to do my best to obey You

by praying for them

and ask You to handle it.
