Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
(Ephesians 2:17-18)

The Jews were the insiders, Jesus

the rest of us outsiders.

But You’re the Creator of us all

and in Your love…the Savior of us all!

Because they rejected You, the Jews became outsiders

but one day You will once again draw them

back inside.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…called, ‘uncircumcised’ by those who call themselves ‘the circumcision’…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

There’s something about being one of the “haves,” Jesus

that Satan can twist to make us want to exclude

the “have nots.”

But that’s not who You Are!

You’ve called us who have so much
to be generous with those who have so little.

You despise the exclusive clique mentality!

You urge us to include everyone

who trusts and obeys You.

Use me
to lift others up!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This company of Israelite exiles…will possess the land…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s not usually how it works, Jesus…

until You step in and work it!

Normally, exiles have no power, no leverage to make anything significant happen.

They’re outsiders. Most of them merely subsist.

But when You rise up in the heart of the weak to do great and mighty things

who can stop them?

Rise up within me, LORD!

In Your love, wisdom and power
rise up within me.

Pray this Lazaroo buttressed by faith:

“This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s wild, Jesus.

They were exiles in the very land You had promised them.

Everybody looked at them like outsiders, intruders

not knowing they were looking down on people
to whom they would one day look up

not realizing these trespassers
would one day become the land’s owners.

I can identify.

Today I walk this land as a foreigner

but my Dad owns it all
and I’m Your heir.
