Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones. He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead. He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.”
(Lamentations 3:4-7)

Jeremiah is talking about You, Jesus.

He believed in You.
He obeyed You.

And He knew exactly Who Is In Charge of Everything –

even the most brutal challenges of life.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate faith:

“…never again will my people be shamed. And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:27-28)

I long for the day when we will no longer be shamed, Jesus!

Pour out Your Spirit on all Your people!
Grant us holy dreams and visions!

Yes, we read Your Word and do our best to apply it to our lives.

But we’re so weary of wondering
if we got it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning. The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:13-15)

What a tragedy, Jesus

that Solomon didn’t apply his own proverb to himself.

Please.

Help me practice what I preach!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Yes, I’m Yours, Jesus – You know it!

But that doesn’t mean I can continue in these old sins.
In Your power, help me overcome them!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May my life bring You honor, dear LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Gehazi said, ‘She has no son, and her husband is old.’ Then Elisha said, ‘Call her.’ So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. ‘About this time next year,’ Elisha said, ‘you will hold a son in your arms.’ ‘No, my lord!’ she objected. ‘Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!’”
(2 Kings 4:14-16)

Some of us can’t believe how good You’re willing to be to us, Jesus!

But You’ve already given Your life for me.

Why wouldn’t You do amazing things for me…

and through me!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’”
(John 3:3-4)

The New Life You grant to all who put their faith in You, Jesus

is a fresh, brand-new start
even more profound

than the miracle
of a baby’s first breath
on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.”
(Esther 3:13)

How could such an evil thing happen, Jesus –

especially to Your chosen people?

It was because You were about to rescue them
and also destroy their enemies!

Help me to remember that

next time something evil shows up at my door.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
(Mark 2:21-22)

You were doing a New Thing, Jesus.

Their old ways couldn’t handle it.

I beg You!

Do a New Thing in me!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…the older women…can train the younger women…to be kind…”
(Titus 2:3-5)

Why would older women know more than younger women, Jesus

about being kind?

Perhaps the experience of their years has taught them its benefits.

Perhaps they’ve learned the hard way what happens

when they aren’t kind

and when others are unkind to them.

But of all instructional methods

perhaps the best way to train these younger women to be kind

is to show them how it’s done. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…teach the older women…”
(Titus 2:3)

Older women know a lot, Jesus.

They’ve seen a lot. Heard a lot. Felt a lot.

They’ve lived through historical events others have only read about.

They’ve experienced some of life’s best moments
and endured some of life’s worst.

They’re absolutely loaded with information, insights, secrets

to share with anyone who asks.

But they still need to be taught from Your Word

as does every person on earth
who still draws a breath.
