Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
(Proverbs 4:25-27)

What an awesome plan for life, Jesus!

If I keep my eyes fixed on You
if I plant my feet solely on the paths of Your Word

no one will be able to stop me

from becoming everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with courageous discernment:

“…he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so…”
(3 John 1:10)

What kind of person behaves like this in Your Church, Jesus?

He’s a plant, isn’t he?
Slipped in by Satan.

Perhaps he’s someone with money or social prominence.

Maybe he holds an office in the church
or simply has been there a long time.

He may be a sinning believer.
He may only pretend to be a believer.

But either way, he’s got to stop

or go.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh…”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

This is so good to know, Jesus!

You’re telling me if it’s not happening right now, don’t worry.

It’s just not the right time.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!”
(James 2:12-13)

There’s no getting around it, Jesus:

What I plant is what I’ll get.

If I behave kindly toward those who’ve hurt me

You’ll treat me better than I deserve.

If I get my revenge against them

You’ll punish me for my countless sins
in full measure.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled determination:

“I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine?”
(Jeremiah 2:21)

When You drew me to Yourself and I asked you to be my Savior

You planted me in Your Church, Jesus!

But I confess:

I haven’t done nearly enough with what You’ve built into me!
I’m not giving You anything like the good return You deserve.

That has to change.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled zeal:

“I have been most rebellious.”
(Lamentations 1:20)

That’s quite a confession, Jesus…

especially because of who’s making it.

This is no rapist, murderer, pillager, criminal.

The great prophet Jeremiah is speaking!

He’s the one who faithfully obeyed You throughout his life –

and suffered greatly for it.

He’s the one You appointed over nations and kingdoms –

to tear down, destroy, build and plant.

If he could be this humble and self-aware of his sins

who am I to be less?

Pray this Lazaroo, trusting God’s design:

“This too is meaningless.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Yes it was, Jesus…

…and no, it wasn’t.

Meaningless to Solomon?

Sure. He was stuck with what he could see.

Because You had given him unprecedented wisdom

he supposed that if he couldn’t figure it out

there was nothing to it.

But meaningless to You?

No, no, never-never, huh-uh, uh!

Every person, plant, animal, behavior, event and substance

on or off this earth

has meaning to You!

Because You do nothing without purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
(Revelation 2:7)

O Jesus:

Help us hear!

Holy Spirit:

Cause us to discern what You’re telling each church!

All of Your churches have the same mission –

to build Your people and win the lost.

But each of Your churches has a unique calling –

which is why You’ve planted each one.

Heavenly Father!

Please help my church hear You clearly
and stay on mission.
