Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?”
(John 3:11-12)

This had to be so frustrating for You, Jesus!

You spoke the truth.
They refused to believe.

There is so much more You’re willing to show us

if only we will accept
what You’ve already revealed.

Raise your sights! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’”
(Mark 3:20-21)

You didn’t come here to enjoy a good meal, Jesus.

Your message was a little bigger than that.

You came to transform lives

call people to a higher purpose
change their destination from hell to heaven.

Those who don’t believe that about You

are the ones who are out of their minds.

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering devotion:

“…the king of Egypt said, ‘Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!’’…That same day Pharaoh gave this order: ‘You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.”
(Exodus 5:4,6-7)

When I obey You, Jesus

sometimes things get worse.

At first.

But when I continue to obey You no matter what

the outcome is always more than worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in the assurance only God can give:

“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.”
(Matthew 4:23-24)

Every disease, Jesus

and every person.

There’s no part of my body You can’t heal

because You’re the one who made it.

Get your, “Yes Sir!” ready, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’ Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai…”
(Haggai 1:2-3)

You hear our complaints, Jesus.

They grate on Your ears.

When we insist we don’t have time

to take care of the things that matter to You

we’re about to learn the hard way:

We should have kept our mouths shut.

You’ll appoint someone
to deliver the news.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgement:

“‘Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’ This is what they will get in return for their pride…”
(Zephaniah 2:9-10)

Solomon said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Sadly, he experienced it.

So will I, unless I remember:
You are the Giver of my gifts.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…”
(Jonah 4:1)

What was this horrible thing Jonah thought You did, Jesus?

He didn’t just accuse You of doing wrong
he accused You of doing very wrong.

The “awful” thing You did

was being merciful.

The people of Ninevah deserved to be destroyed.

But when they repented
because Jonah preached their doom
You relented.

May I never be upset when You treat others better than they deserve!

Your mercy
is the only reason
I’m drawing another breath.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.’”
(Jeremiah 3:14-15)

You know those who are Yours, Jesus –

no matter where we are
no matter what label has been placed on us
no matter what anyone thinks.

Look into my heart and see my love for You!
