Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.”
(Psalm 9:15-17)

They will suffer, Jesus

but it’s their own doing.

When their punishment befalls them

they’ll cry out against You

but they’ll have only themselves to blame.

Passionately call on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”
(Nehemiah 4:4-5)

You hear the prayer of Your desperate followers who are doing Your will, Jesus!

I qualify as desperate.

Now I just need to make sure I’m following You

and doing exactly what You’ve called me to do.

Lean heavily on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now the overseer… must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
(1 Timothy 3:2,4-5)

What a challenge for this man You’ve called into Your service, Jesus!

You know how Satan attacks him, his wife
and every member of his family.

Protect them, LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting anticipation:

“Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.”
(1 Chronicles 9:2)

There’s nothing like coming home, Jesus.

Well…that’s true if home is a good place.

Many people have had bad experiences growing up.

So for them, returning home would be painful.

But here’s the beautiful thing I’ve got to keep in mind:

This world is not my home!

My home is with You, in heaven.

Oh, what a joy it will be
to go home.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Jude 1:21)

We may have to wait a while for Your ultimate mercy to be revealed, Jesus

but we don’t have to wait long to experience Your mercy
in a thousand ways – small and large –
through the passage of our days.

You are so good to us!
You take care of Your own.
You watch over us like a mother with her newborn.

No…even better.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, ‘Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.’ Jethro said, ‘Go, and I wish you well.’” Now the Lord had said to Moses… ‘Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead.’”
(Exodus 4:18-19)

Egypt was the last place Moses wanted to go, Jesus.

But that didn’t matter.

When You tell me to do something

that settles it.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“See, I will make you small…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

Yes, Jesus.

I’ve seen.
You can make me very, very small.

But that’s a good thing, right?

It is, if I accept Your discipline

humble myself

and totally surrender to You.

May I never rebel

when You do what You have to do
to correct me.

Keep me small in my own eyes, Father!

even if You bless me in the future

recognizing 100% of the time:

every good thing comes from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, ‘My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for.’”
(Ruth 3:1)

Naomi was a heartbroken widow, Jesus.

No one would have blamed her
for wanting Ruth to stay and take care of her.

But Naomi entrusted herself to You

and put Ruth’s needs ahead of her own.

O God!

Rise up within me so strongly
that I have that same caring heart toward others!
