Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, ‘On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die’? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’ Why then did you not keep your oath to the Lord and obey the command I gave you?”
(1 Kings 2:42-43)

What Shimei swore before You didn’t matter, Jesus!

He was rotten to the core.

Only You know those who have potential

and those who have none.

When I need to know

show me!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter trust:

“…we wanted to come to you…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:18)

I don’t always get what I want, Jesus.

It’s kind of comforting to note:

Neither did Paul!

Maybe I should rephrase that:

“I don’t always get what I think I want.”

You’ve let me have my way enough times to prove to me:

Sometimes what looks good from a distance

isn’t at all good up close.

I don’t need any more proof, Father.

Give me only what You know is best!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartbroken realization:

“…even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.”
(1 John 2:18)

It’s true, Jesus.

The number of people who reject You is growing exponentially.

There was a time when people who committed evil acts were ashamed.

They hid what they did and when confronted
either denied it or repented.

No more.

Increasingly, they flaunt Your Word and openly celebrate their sin.

Only You know whether this is the last hour

or the last minute.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…those who long for death that does not come…”
(Job 3:21)

It’s pretty easy for human beings to kill themselves, Jesus

if that’s what they really want to do.

But our lives are not our own, are they?

You’re the Life-Giver…
and the Life-Taker.

Only You know when it’s best for me to check in…

and check out.

I’m here for a season to do Your will.

Only when my work is done
will I see Your Face.
