Pray this Lazaroo in utter adoration:

“What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, that you examine them every morning and test them every moment? Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do?”
(Job 7:17-20)

It’s overwhelming, Jesus –

to realize You’re hearing my every thought

my every word

seeing everything I do.

Overwhelmingly wonderful!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“I will drive the northern horde far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land; its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise.”
(Joel 2:20)

What an amazing promise You made to Your people, Jesus!

I love knowing that’s who You Are.

Because when I’m facing overwhelming odds
I know I’m not alone.

You’re Able to do for me
what I could never do for myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

That’s wild, Jesus!

To share in Your glory?

How can human beings do that?

We absolutely don’t deserve it.
Not even the best of us.

Especially not the worst of us –
the category to which I belong.

But that’s Your love, Your outrageous kindness

Your overwhelming generosity!

Nor are we to keep Your glory to ourselves.

We’re to make sure others get in on it, too.

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

“They also repaired five hundred yards of the wall…”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

Five football fields, Jesus – more than a quarter of a mile…

…of wall!

No small feat.

But of course, that word, “repaired” means

that much of the wall was broken down.
Talk about discouraging. Overwhelming!

Then there’s that other word: “also.”

That tells me this wasn’t the only task staring them in the face.

But working in Your strength, power and protection, they did it!

So can I.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…who search for it more than for hidden treasure.”
(Job 3:21)

Because of His excruciating suffering, Jesus

Job longed for death.
He didn’t want to feel His overwhelming pain anymore.

If he had only known the reason for his agony –

that You were so proud of Him
that You bragged about him to Satan!

That You were about to take away his pain
and bless him beyond measure.

That was the treasure hidden from him.

What’s mine?
