Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!’”
(Nehemiah 4:18-21)

 

Nehemiah knew what to let go of, Jesus

and what to keep close.

The trumpeter was key!

With so much at stake

No way was Nehemiah going to send him
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“‘I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.’ People will oppress each other—man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored.”
(Isaiah 3:4-5)

If this is how You punish a people’s sinful behavior, Jesus

I would say my city, state, nation –

and this entire world –

are being punished.

LORD, send revival! Fall on this land!

You’ve done it before.

Please, Father:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building. They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.”
(Ezra 4:4-5)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus

until one of them comes after me.

What would I do, if I didn’t have You!

You alone are my Protector and Deliverer!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, ‘It’s no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.’ As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets.”
(Jeremiah 2:25-26)

I don’t have to sin, Jesus!

No matter how many times I’ve caved in to Satan’s temptation

Your power is still mine

to say NO!

Pray this Lazaroo with holy boldness:

“Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’”
(Esther 3:3)

The answer was simple, Jesus:

Haman was a wicked man who did not deserve to be honored.

But that wasn’t even the biggest reason.

Mordecai wasn’t about to bow down to anyone but You.
The fact that it was the king who ordered it was irrelevant

even though it might cost Mordecai his life.

May that kind of holy courage be mine!

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“…ruler of the district…”
(Nehemiah 3:14)

That’s rather quaint language, Jesus.

Districts don’t have rulers anymore.
We have leaders, officials, captains…that sort of thing.

Unless…

is there some district You want me to rule?

It wouldn’t necessarily be to rule over people, would it?

They don’t like that too much.

But maybe some “district” of my life?

Could it possibly be a district that Satan is currently ruling?

Wow. Gotcha.

Time for me to step up and take charge.
