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 earnest desire:

“As I listened, he said to the others, ‘Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.’”
(Ezekiel 9:5-6)

Such violent, merciless punishment violates our modern sensibilities, Jesus.

But we fail to recognize the depth of idolatry’s evil
and the rapidity with which it infects those it touches.

At some point I have to decide:

Do I trust my LORD and Savior to do only what’s right?

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“In the last days, God says…your old men will dream dreams.”
(Acts 2:17)

But they won’t be ordinary dreams, will they, Jesus?

They’ll be dreams given by You
to lead, teach and prepare Your people.

They’ll be given to saints who’ve walked with You

those graced with the gift of discernment.

I know this because You’ve made it clear:

You don’t give dogs what is sacred.
You don’t throw your pearls to pigs.

If You don’t
neither should I.
