Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

But they weren’t lazy, Jesus!

They were obeying You!

May I always remember:

Even when I’m doing exactly what You desire
this can happen to me.

When others judge me harshly

should I quit obeying You?

No!
Never.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

Pharaoh was 100% wrong about their being lazy, Jesus.

He was wrong about their motivation, too.
They did intend to go sacrifice to You.

But his instincts were right about one thing:

Thanks to Your amazing power
They weren’t about to come back.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles…”
(Jonah 3:7)

That’s what kings do, don’t they, Jesus?

They issue decrees.
They make sweeping statements that become the laws of the land.

They rely on a cadre of experts who advise them
or rubber stamp whatever they say.

I’m no such king.

I’ve never issued a decree –
at least not one anyone paid much attention to.

But I do have one request:

Direct the decrees of people in power
who affect the lives of those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself.”
(Ezekiel 3:19)

You hold me accountable to speak up, Jesus

but not for the result.

When someone’s headed for trouble

I can warn them till I’m blue in the face

but it’s up to that person

to heed the warning

or – along with those they love –

to suffer the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…listen carefully to what I say.”
(Acts 2:14)

Some people use language like that because they’re stuck on themselves, Jesus

They think everything they say is worth my rapt attention.

But when Your Apostle Peter utters those words

I’d better listen.

In fact, if it’s anywhere in the Bible, I’d better listen!

Your words
are my life.

When the people around me speak

please give me the wisdom to know whose words to hang on
and whose to dismiss.
