Pray this Lazaroo in obedient trust:

“Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
(1 Corinthians 4:5)

Even when I obey and follow You with all my heart, Jesus

my praise may not come now.

I need to be okay with that.

By faith, help me fix my eyes on my reward in heaven.

Please don’t let me become discouraged

when it all blows up in my face on earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
(Philippians 2:9-11)

I’m not waiting, Jesus!

I bow before You now.

You Are Lord of all – my Lord!

to the glory of God Your Father.

Pray this Lazaroo with a higher perspective:

“I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)

Those are a gift from You, Jesus!

But not everyone gets to enjoy them.

Some of the best people You’ve created

experience a brutally hard life on this earth.

But because of their steadfast faithfulness to You

their forever is going to be oh, so sweet!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king…”
(Ezra 4:8)

I don’t care who wrote such a letter, Jesus.

Whether it’s the president of the United States
one of the 43 kings who reign over countries today
or the high potentate of all high potentates on earth

Nobody – but nobody! –

had dare take a stand against Jerusalem
the holy place You chose above everywhere on earth

for Your Name to dwell.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting anticipation:

“…by the King’s Garden…”
(Nehemiah 3:15)

King’s Gardens are pretty close to the best gardens on earth, Jesus.

They have nearly unlimited funds to build them
the ability to incorporate the most exotic of plants
access to the most skilled gardening experts
their choice of the richest soil in the most desirable land.

But no earthly king’s garden can begin to compare

to the lavish, unimaginably stunning garden of your delights

that awaits my breathtaking arrival in heaven!

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw-dropping awe:

“He built the Most Holy Place…twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)

It was also twenty cubits high, Jesus.

Wow.

That has to mean something.

You’re the Creator of Everything, the Ultimate Designer.

You could have given any shape You wanted to Your Most Holy Place

and You chose a perfect cube.

Why?

Well, it was copy and shadow of what’s in heaven –

the symbol of Your Presence among Your people.

Father…Son…Holy Spirit
Length…Width…Height
Different…Equal…

One.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-thumping anticipation:

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

So…nothing I’ve experienced on this earth can prepare me for eternity with You, Jesus!

Nothing I’ve ever seen.
Nothing I’ve ever heard.
Nothing I’ve ever imagined.

Wow.

When You love someone, You go all out, don’t You?

You’ve already proved that on the cross.

I can’t picture heaven…

but until then…
I can’t help but try.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I have found a man…”
(Daniel 2:25)

At first glance, that’s not especially unusual, Jesus.

There are a lot of men out there –
3.8 billion now, though less then.

But Daniel isn’t just any man.

He’s Your man.

You gifted, called and prepared him for that moment in time.

You’ve done the same for every person on earth
who’s put their trust in You.

Why am I here at this point in history, LORD?

Use me for Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized determination:

“Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land…”
(Deuteronomy 1:35)

There’s a lot of evil in my generation, Jesus.

Sadly, there have been times when I’ve contributed to it.

But no more!

You’re giving me this chance to turn it around –
not only for myself, but for others my age.

I want us to experience the good land You’re holding in store for us

right here on this earth
and far, far greater in heaven.
