Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.”
(1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

You’re my judge, Jesus.

But even better
You’re my compassionate, loving, merciful Savior!

Others see my results.

You see my heart –
how passionately I long to please You!

Pray this Lazaroo in open-eyed awareness:

“Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.’”
(Genesis 4:6-7)

Sin is crouching at my door, too, Jesus.

May I never forget how passionately and persistently
sin desires to have me!

But may I always remember:

Greater are You in me
than the one who is in the world!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

Thank You for this promise to the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus!

According to Your will, may we be that Church!

Make me increasingly, passionately faithful to You
during every remaining day You have ordained for me
on planet earth.

Mean it all the way to the marrow of your bones, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

Paul really wanted this, Jesus

and You didn’t give it to him!

Through Paul You gave us much of the New Testament!

Through Him You healed the sick and raised the dead!

But when he passionately desired something outside of Your will

You said no.

Just because he thought it was best didn’t mean it was.

So, please, LORD:

Do the same for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in total adoration:

“All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.”
(Psalms 6:10)

Quite a promise, Jesus.

Not just a few of David’s enemies will be suddenly overwhelmed and turn back with shame and anguish.

All of them.

Just in case I have any enemies, LORD…

how can I get in on a promise like that?

Oh.

David loved and served You passionately

then wept and cried out to You.
