Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…in answer to your prayers.”
(Philemon 1:22)

Answered prayer is a beautiful thing, Jesus!

It rewards my hope in You.
It draws the two of us together.
It further builds my faith
It gives me cause to praise You to others.

It brings me back to You
with gratitude, love, thanksgiving, worship

and more requests!

May I never overlook or ignore any prayer You’ve answered!

Show me, Holy Spirit!

So I will be prompted and re-prompted
to hold high Your Mighty Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD…”
(Ezra 3:11)

You deserve that, Jesus!

Sometimes we’re too reserved.

We’re too worried about what people will think of us if we raise our hands or loudly lift our voices to You in praise

which means I’m thinking more of myself
than I’m focused on praising You.

True, I’ve got to be considerate of others.

But if I’m going to offend somebody
let it be them…not You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of gratitude:

“…founded a dynasty for me…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

It’s true, Jesus!

That’s what You did for David.

You founded a dynasty for him
that led to You.

But praise God!

The dynasty didn’t end with You!

The whole point of what You did for David

and what You did on the cross

was to establish a dynasty
for countless millions who would believe in You.

So when You founded that dynasty for David

You were also founding it for me.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Did not one God create us?”
(Malachi 2:10)

Yes, Jesus, You did.

You’re my Creator, my Father, my Indweller
my Savior, Best Friend, Guide and Protector
my LORD and my God!

You have all rights to me.

Do with me as You will.
I’m Yours! Use me!

I long to bring You praise, honor and glory.

I’m determined to tell as many people as possible about You
so they can experience you as I do:

deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1.

Pray this Lazaroo with a searching heart:

“…took their places to praise the LORD…”
(Ezra 3:10)

Where’s my place to praise You, Jesus?

Oh, I know – You deserve to be praised everywhere
at all times.

But surely there are places

that I will praise You way more effectively than others.

Because there must be places that try though I might

my way of praising You would fall on deaf ears.
Even backfire.

Actually…

I think I’ve been to a few of those places. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”
(Exodus 3:15)

It’s not the only Name we call You, Jesus…Yeshua…Messiah…Savior…

Abba…Adonai…Creator…El Shaddai…Alpha and Omega…
Father…Son…Holy Spirit…LORD…God –

but it’s the one that says it all:

I AM.

You’re…Always.

Without beginning.
Without end.

No wonder I worship You!

No wonder I praise You for everything good
call on You when I’m in distress!

No wonder I desire deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You!

You ARE.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers…”
(Daniel 2:23)

That’s two different things, isn’t it, Jesus?

both of which You richly deserve.

As the God of my fathers, You have my unreserved thanks!

If You hadn’t led them through the labyrinth of their lives
I wouldn’t be here.

As the God of my fathers I should praise You from the top of the world’s highest mountain!

Only You could work through them
to create me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But you brought my life up from the pit…”
(Jonah 2:6)

That’s Your specialty, Jesus –

bringing my life up from the pit –

perhaps because that’s where I’ve spent way too much of my life.

Sometimes I knew exactly where I was
down, hurting, defeated, depressed.

At other times – blind as a bat –
I thought I was on the mountaintop

when in reality, I was mired even deeper in the pit.

But You! In Love! Every time!

lift me out.
