Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”
(Ephesians 3:20)

Immeasurably more, Jesus!

That’s the description of Your power

Your love

Who You Are.

No matter how big my ask

You can go bigger –

immeasurably bigger.

No matter how wild I let my imagination run

You can trump it

immeasurably.

I hit the jackpot when I found You!

Correction:

You found me.
It was all You.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
(Ephesians 3:17-19)

The depth of Your love for me, Jesus

is beyond my understanding!

Fill me all the way full with Yourself!

so in everything I think, say and do
I can love You back.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-wide-open love:

“I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.”
(Lamentations 3:1-3)

Jeremiah didn’t sugarcoat it, Jesus.

He knew You had the power to stop the attacks against him.

You’re my Protector, too.

When bad things happen to me
it’s Your choice to cause or allow them…

because You know what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:17-18)

That’s my prayer, too, Jesus!

Root and establish me – and all your people – in love.

Grant us Your power to grasp just how much You love us

so that, filled with Your love
we will be unable to rest

until we have shared Your love
with as many as possible.

Pray this Lazaroo with a yearning soul:

“At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.”
(1 Samuel 3:12-13)

I, too, have failed to restrain some of the people in my life, Jesus.

Of course, You haven’t given me full control over someone else.

But You have given me a measure of influence.

Please maximize Your mighty power through me
to accomplish what only You can do.

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 wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.”
(Isaiah 4:5-6)

Cover me, Jesus

just like that.

May Your power overshadow me
Your shelter protect me and hide me

from all who intend me harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
(James 3:7-8)

That explains a lot, Jesus.

I can’t control what someone else says.

Only You have that power.
Only You can make them speak up

or shut up.

I can’t even control what I say

without Your help.

I need help.
