Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Those two don’t always go together, Jesus.

When the good news about You spreads rapidly
people who prefer to remain in their sins get upset!

You tend to mess with their status quo.

On the other hand, when all those people are finding You

they testify!

They tell of Your wonders
sing your praises

and that brings due honor to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused attention:

“Give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

I do give careful thought to some things, Jesus.

But I confess that I’m on automatic pilot with others.

Give me wisdom!

On the one hand, I don’t want to take anything for granted.
On the other hand, I don’t want to obsess on the obvious.

Please don’t let me skip over something that requires deeper consideration!

Neither allow me to spend one precious moment on time-wasters.

I’m so glad I have You!
