Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.”
(1 Peter 2:13-14)

It’s a spiritual crime, Jesus

to disobey those You’ve placed over me.

That’s a game-changer!

I will do my best to obey those in authority

who are obeying You.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”
(Micah 3:8)

It’s possible, Jesus!

That while all around me are weak, timid and afraid
You would choose to make me bold and strong.

That was true of Your prophet Micah

because He was obeying You
with every fiber of his being.

Weak or strong, bold or timid
may I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Now since we are under obligation to the palace and it is not proper for us to see the king dishonored, we are sending this message to inform the king…”
(Ezra 4:14)

King Artaxerxes had to smell the stench from this heaping pile of garbage from a mile away, Jesus!

These two wicked, jealous yahoos were tattling
because Your chosen servant
was rattling their cages
by obeying You.

Great God!

Help me be a cage-rattler
instead of a garbage-pusher.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“Jonah started into the city.”
(Jonah 3:4)

Beginnings are crucial, Jesus!

Without them, nothing gets done.

But starting a task that seems doomed to failure is especially hard.

That’s why Jonah ran the other way
when You assigned it to him.

Still, successful completion of the task isn’t the most important thing.

Obedience to You is.

Only after I obey

do I get to find out if You will bring it to completion.

Because only You can.

Pray this Lazaroo from a tender heart:

“turn, my lover…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Solomon’s bride wants him to turn toward her and love her, Jesus

just as You call us to turn away
from those things that distract us from loving You.

How can I show You my love today?

Certainly, what I’m doing right now, is one way.
So is reading, studying, obeying Your Word in my life.

But it also includes helping others
and sharing Your good news of salvation with the lost.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD’s wrath.”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

It’s true, Jesus.

No one can buy You off.
All of it’s Yours to begin with!

That would be like offering to loan a bank the money I had just borrowed from them.

I own nothing.
Not here.

The only thing that’s mine is the treasure I store up in heaven

by obeying You here on earth.
