Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.”
(Philippians 2:17-18)

That sounds reasonable, Jesus…

until I realize Paul was referring to his coming martyrdom
for sharing his faith.

Paul had made such an impact for You

that Your enemies wanted to kill him for it.

There are many places in this sin-sick world where that can still happen.

If those were my stakes
would I be willing to take that risk for You?

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“Of the priests:…Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God…”
(1 Chronicles 9:10-11)

What a high and holy calling, Jesus!

Of course, we can meet with You anywhere
because You’re everywhere!

But those places You have set apart for regular worship

have become sacred – to You and to us.

May I always do my part

to lovingly care for our place of worship.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

And what a grace-filed gift it is, Jesus –

to tell others about You.

Not just to those who’ve already heard

but to those who’ve never heard Your Name one time!

Most of us can’t go to those faraway places

but we can give sacrificially to You
and help those who can!

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…in connection with…”
(1 Chronicles 6:49)

Those are three life-changing words, Jesus.

I’m significantly affected by whomever I’m connected with
and they absolutely affect me.

Same goes for the things I’m connected with:

the phone, computer, electronic devices I use
where I work, live, vacation
the schools I’ve attended
the places I frequent
the vehicle I drive

But the greatest question is:

How am I using what I’m connected with
to connect myself and others

to You?
