Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.”
(Exodus 4:29-31)

I bow down and worship You too, Jesus!

When I’m in misery, You see it.
You’re concerned about me.

And You have the loving power to do something about it.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his,’ and, ‘Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Yes, I’m Yours, Jesus – You know it!

But that doesn’t mean I can continue in these old sins.
In Your power, help me overcome them!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May my life bring You honor, dear LORD!

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Because he had nine hundred chariots fitted with iron and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the Lord for help. Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. She held court under the Palm of Deborah…and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided.”
(Judges 4:3-5)

Jabin’s army commander Sisera didn’t know it yet, Jesus

but his nine hundred iron chariots were like straw before You.

May I never forget:

The Power is with me
when I’m with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“So he said to me, ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:”‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,”’ says the Lord Almighty’.”
(Zechariah 4:6)

Those are Your precious words to me, Jesus!

It’s not how strong I am.
It’s not how smart I am.
It’s not how much money I have.
It’s not how well-connected I am.
It’s not the sophistication of my tools.
It’s not how many degrees I’ve earned..

It’s You!

Always and forever:

It’s You!

Pray this Lazaroo in corrected gratitude:

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.”
(Habakkuk 2:18)

I’ve never carved an idol, Jesus.

I would never do such a thing.

But am I trusting anything I’ve created?
Anything some other human has created?

Do I think they have the power to

heal me
make me happy
put food on my table?

I know better than that!

Only You, LORD!
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“This is what the Lord says to Israel: ‘Seek me and live; do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba….Seek the Lord and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.’”
(Amos 5:4-6)

When I’m in trouble, Jesus

why do I ever turn
to anyone, anywhere or anything than You?

All of my so-called “deliverers” will fail.

You alone have the power to rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo – overwhelmed with gratitude:

“Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand. The Lord said to Moses, ‘When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do.’”
(Exodus 4:20-21)

You not only sent Moses on a mission, Jesus

but You equipped him with everything he needed to succeed –

just as You’ve done for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:1)

Oh, but Solomon was looking at the world

only under the sun, Jesus.
Viewing life without You.

You are the Comforter of the hurting, the downtrodden, the oppressed!

And You, dear LORD…oh, You, dear LORD!

are my Comforter.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Their teaching will spread like gangrene.”
(2 Timothy 2:17)

False teaching is so like gangrene it’s scary, Jesus

bringing spiritual death to all who embrace it.

Gangrene occurs when there is no blood flow to arms, legs, toes and fingers

just as false teachers deny the saving power
of Your blood shed for us on the cross.

Muscles and internal organs can die from spreading infection

in the same way the sins promoted by the false teacher
destroys their followers from the inside.
