Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
(Matthew 5:3-6)

Who could make such promises – and then fulfill them, Jesus –

to the poor in spirit, those who mourn,
the meek, the hungry and thirsty?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in corrected gratitude:

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.”
(Habakkuk 2:18)

I’ve never carved an idol, Jesus.

I would never do such a thing.

But am I trusting anything I’ve created?
Anything some other human has created?

Do I think they have the power to

heal me
make me happy
put food on my table?

I know better than that!

Only You, LORD!
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they allowed no one to cross over. At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace for eighty years.”
(Judges 3:28-30)

What an amazing victory, Jesus!

But the Israelites were not that superior to the Moabites.

It wasn’t them.
It was You.

Do I need to work on my skills and improve in every way possible?

Sure.

But to truly win?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall.”
(2 Kings 3:26-27)

Desperate people who don’t worship You

end up doing terrible, unthinkable things, Jesus!

May my faith be in You alone

causing me to do only what is good!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not mere human beings?”
(1 Corinthians 3:3-4)

I can’t stop being human, Jesus.

But because of You living in me

I no longer have to be
merely human!

And I won’t be…

so long as the only One I’m truly following

is You.

“See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.”
(Joshua 3:11-12)

When You go before me, Jesus

I can’t fail!

Only when You’ve gone before me

can those You’ve chosen to go with me

be of any help!

May I never rely on the expertise of my family, friends or team.

Only You. Only You. Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“In those days John the Baptist came…People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.”
(Matthew 3:1, 4-5)

That amazing response was all You, Jesus!

John did his part, for sure.
He preached and baptized.

But You’re the one who brought the crowds.
You’re the one who caused them to confess and repent.

Every time that happens it’s You!

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful awareness:

“Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, ‘Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?’”
(Mark 2:6-7)

When you forgave this man’s sins, Jesus

these religious experts made an astute observation:

“Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

But they were blind to the reality

that they were hearing those words of forgiveness

from God Himself.

Who can forgive my countless sins?

Oh, Jesus!
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.”
(2 Samuel 2:23)

There’s death everywhere on the battlefield, Jesus.

Why stop over Asahel’s body?
Because he was General Joab’s brother.

Not only the prominent – but everyone’s death matters to You!

It should to me

especially because it raises the most important question of all:

“Did they go to heaven or hell?”

The answer? Heaven –

but only if they had put their trust in You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…saved through…belief in the truth.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s not my belief, Jesus.

I can’t save myself –
not even with my own self-manufactured belief.

You’re the One who gives me the gift of faith.
I’m saved by the sanctifying work of Your Holy Spirit.

Who gives me the ability to recognize truth when I hear it?

You do.

Who gives me the ability to respond to Your truth

by gratefully turning over to You my whole life?

Only You.
