Pray this Lazaroo in loving gratitude:

“But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:6)

These kinds of relationships are rare, Jesus.

If I have anything like this, help me cherish it
and never take it for granted.

If I don’t have anything like it

please bring this blessing into my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The land by the sea will become pastures…”
(Zephaniah 2:6)

Sounds good, Jesus.

Pastures are beautiful, pleasant places.

But to stop with that thought is to miss the point.

Land by the sea is extremely expensive.
There’s only so much of it.

It’s in high demand
because everyone wants to build a house there.

Which means that the land You’re referring to will revert to pasture

after the homes there – populated by disobedient people –

have been utterly destroyed.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“…old wine and new wine take away their understanding. My people consult a wooden idol, and a diviner’s rod speaks to them. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God. They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar and terebinth, where the shade is pleasant.”
(Hosea 4:11-13)

Addiction…spiritual cluelessness…idol worship…prostitution…unfaithfulness.

O, Jesus!

These are the sins still plaguing us today.

Deliver us, Mighty God!
Deliver us!

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
P
eace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!
