Pray this Lazaroo with unbounded gratitude:

“Can reeds thrive without water? While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. What they trust in is fragile; what they rely on is a spider’s web.”
(Job 8:11-14)

My trust is in You, Jesus.

You’re the only one who will never fail.

Thank You for rescuing me from the spider’s web

that traps all who are destined for destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo with determined faith:

“The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord…For all generations to come it is his perpetual share…Whatever touches them will become holy.”
(Leviticus 6:15, 18)

This is my prayer, Jesus…

that whoever touches my life will be pointed to You –

the only one who can make them holy!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery…”
(Ephesians 3:9)

This isn’t only Paul’s assignment, Jesus

it’s mine, too.

Your good news isn’t hard to tell.

But it is hard to explain.

Why would the God of heaven come to earth as a man

and give Your life on the cross to save a wretch like me?

There’s one explanation and one explanation only:

You love us with a depth, passion and ferocity

that none of us can begin to comprehend.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…done in the body by the hands of men…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

Paul was referring to circumcision, Jesus.

But there are a lot of things people do
that give them a false sense of security:

knocking on wood
refusing to walk under a ladder
avoiding black cats

performing good deeds
making significant sacrifices
trying really hard
giving lots of money

in order to earn a place in heaven.

But protection, safety, security can be found in only one place:

You.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…since you are going through the same struggle…”
(Philippians 1:30)

I’m not alone, am I, Jesus?

Not only are You with me every step

but there are countless others

battling the flesh and the devil
in the exact same ways I am.

They say, “Misery loves company.”

But that’s not why I love knowing
I’m not the only one.

It’s because when I see them winning their fight

it’s proof!

that You’re able to do the same for me.

Open yourself to His glory, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…until…the morning star rises in your hearts.”
(2 Peter 1:19)

Some people think the morning star is Venus or Mercury, Jesus.

Some think it’s Sirius – apart from the sun
the brightest star in earth’s sky.

In Greek mythology it’s Phosphorus.
In Slavic mythology it’s one of their Zorya.
It’s At-Tariq in the Qur’an.

Before his fall, Satan was known as a morning star

but not the morning star.

There is only one truly bright and morning star, Jesus!

You.
