Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”
(Ephesians 3:16-17)

It really does take a miracle to accomplish that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

Do I have a part?
Sure.

But try though I might, I can’t conjure up saving faith.

That kind of faith is a gift from You
straight from heaven.

That faith is mine!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Boast in the LORD! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: ‘Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?’”
(Acts 3:11-12)

Peter refused to take credit for Your miracle, Jesus.

As You work miracle after miracle for me

may I always give credit where credit is due!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God, you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites, neither the land along the course of the Jabbok nor that around the towns in the hills.”
(Deuteronomy 2:37)

You have all power, Jesus!

I can go wherever You tell me to go.

But may I never go to a place You’ve declared off limits.

If I try, Your power will leave me

and I’ll fail.

Pray this Lazaroo with awed admiration:

“Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’ And he says in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.’”
(Hebrews 5:5-6)

You could have done that for Yourself, Jesus!

You have all power and authority.

Instead, You chose to model for us the beautiful humility

that You desire to see in my daily life.

Pray this Lazaroo filled with confidence in God’s protection:

“But the eye of their God was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.”
(Ezra 5:5)

May Your Eye keep watching over me, Jesus!

Keep me working, serving!
Perform Your wonders!

May I never let Satan’s threats deter me from Your mission.

Yes, he has power
but You have all power!

Greater are You in me

than the doomed one who terrorizes the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with limitless faith:

“…the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. She called her husband and said, ‘Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.’ ‘Why go to him today?’ he asked. ’“It’s not the New Moon or the Sabbath.’ ‘That’s all right,’ she said.”
(2 Kings 4:20, 22-23)

He didn’t get it, Jesus.

It didn’t occur to Him that You could raise the dead.

How many times have I underestimated Your Power?

Please: Help me get it!

Pray this Lazaroo in never-say-die determination:

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9)

You Are that Treasure, Jesus!

It’s true:

I’m often hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted
even struck down…

but never:

crushed, in despair, abandoned
and certainly not destroyed.

All this for You, LORD –

Shine through me!

Pray this Lazaroo in total repentance:

“Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.’”
(Romans 3:9-12)

This breaks my heart, Jesus!

I know it breaks Yours.

Somehow, someway…

through the infilling power of Your Holy Spirit
may this no longer be true of me.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.”
(Acts 3:8-10)

As You perform most of my miracles Jesus –

You remain unseen.

But every once in a while

You display Your power in a way
that even doubters cannot deny!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’”
(John 3:5-7)

I can do all the good within my power to do, Jesus

but I can’t save myself.

I’m looking to You alone to save me

as I trust in Your death, burial and resurrection.
