Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”
(Proverbs 5:3-6)

This is true of every temptation Satan offers, Jesus.

Help me always give him one, emphatic, nonnegotiable reply:

“NO!”

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful love:

“…we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:14-15)

Wow, Jesus.

What an awesome incentive to share my faith!

The more people who trust You as Savior
the more we will praise and thank You!

You deserve all the glory…

and so much more.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

Pharaoh was 100% wrong about their being lazy, Jesus.

He was wrong about their motivation, too.
They did intend to go sacrifice to You.

But his instincts were right about one thing:

Thanks to Your amazing power
They weren’t about to come back.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.’”
(Jeremiah 3:14-15)

You know those who are Yours, Jesus –

no matter where we are
no matter what label has been placed on us
no matter what anyone thinks.

Look into my heart and see my love for You!

Admit it – as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:11-12)

One more strong reminder, Jesus:

No matter how self-sufficient I feel
I’m not going to do as well all by myself.

No matter how antisocial my personality
sooner or later I’m gonna need somebody.

Please lead me to the right somebody.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.”
(Revelation 3:12)

I thought I already had all the incentive I need, Jesus.

But this makes me want to strive like never before

to win each spiritual battle in my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with acknowledged need:

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

You’re making it very clear, Jesus:

We need each other.

I need other people in my life –

reliable people!

…and they need me.

So much for my solo act.

May I be the help to others

I need from them.

Pray this Lazaroo in believing wonder:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.”
(1 John 2:24)

When I have You, Jesus…

I have the Father.

You and the Father are One.

To see You
is to see the Father.

There aren’t two Gods – or three.

Just One:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The only time it’s Scripturally and grammatically correct to say:

They Is
He Are.

Pray this Lazaroo with single-minded determination:

“This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
(1 Corinthians 4:1-2)

What have You entrusted to me, Jesus?

Whom have You entrusted to me?

Don’t allow me to overlook even one of Your assignments!

I long to have You look on me one day and say:

“You have proven faithful.”

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.
