Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.”
(Hosea 6:1-2)

I deserve the one, Jesus

but not the other.

My own sins have torn me to pieces.

But healing, revival, restoration?

Those come only
from Your heart
of amazing love!

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with joy!

“…she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, ‘Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.’ ‘Did I ask you for a son, my lord?’ she said. ‘Didn’t I tell you, “Don’t raise my hopes”?’”
(2 Kings 4:27-28)

You had worked a miracle for this woman, Jesus.

Now, she thought You had taken it away.

But it was only to set up everything

for an even greater miracle!

Ask big! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then I said, ‘Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now…No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.’ ‘Very well,’ he said, ‘I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.’”
(Ezekiel 4:14-15)

Did Ezekiel talk You out of it, Jesus…

or was this a test?

Sometimes I don’t get what I want because I didn’t ask.

Even so, You say yes

only when it’s Your will!

Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard for us to grasp the stunning reality of what You’re saying, Jesus:

You’ve placed some of the people on this planet

for the express purpose

of being examples of what happens

when we disobey You:

Anyone who repeatedly does so without repentance

will be cast into the lake of fire.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority…”
(1 Peter 2:13)

That’s a tall order, Jesus.

So many human authorities are corrupt.
Even more are completely in the wrong.

But You’ve commanded me to do it for Your sake.

I will.
For that reason only.

But this I know:

If human authorities require me to disobey You
You will be the first to tell me to disobey them

no matter what it costs
because I belong to You.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, ‘Ask for whatever you want me to give you.’ Solomon answered…‘I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties…So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.’”
(1 Kings 3:5,7,9)

Good answer, Solomon.

That truly pleased You, Jesus.

How many people would have asked for wealth, long life – even revenge?

Give me, LORD…

only what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with a transparent heart:

“Anyone who does what is good is from God.”
(3 John 1:11)

That’s…quite a statement, Jesus.

There are a lot of people out there
who don’t accept You as Savior
who do good.

Oh, but wait a minute.

A deed is truly good
only when it’s done from pure motives –

and pure motives
originate with You.

When I do a so-called good deed
to win the approval of others

I’m serving myself –

not You or them

and the deed is soiled.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’ They also asked, ‘What are the names of those who are constructing this building?’”
(Ezra 5:3-4)

Intimidation tactics, Jesus.

Evil people are full of them.

Help me see their wicked strategies a mile away!

Help me deal with their threats and manipulations
with the supernatural wisdom that comes only from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate intent:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

If I want to shine like a star in this darkened world, Jesus

I’ve got to stop my grumbling and arguing.

The only chance I have to do that

is to hold firmly to Your Word of life!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground. He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land—the Lord is his name.”
(Amos 5:7-8)

Yes, bitter, unrighteous people are out there, Jesus.

But You’re the One who turns darkness into light!

They’re only spitting into the wind.
