Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…”
(Philemon 1:6)

Do I ever need my understanding deepened, Jesus!

Certainly, that requires time each day in Your Word
Seasons of prayer, as I pour out my heart to You
and seek Your Face.

But it also requires action.

As I study and pray
You want me to go and grow

through ministry to Your people
and navigating among those
who are not Your people.

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

“…pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

I need some of that strength, Jesus.

Right now.

Did I say, “some” of that strength?

Make that “a lot” of Your strength!

There are times when Satan’s attacks are relentless

day after day after day.

Without You, I’d never make it.

With You – in Your Strength –

I know I will!

Pray this Lazaroo in won’t back down confidence:

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day…”
(Habakkuk 3:2)

I am so tired of people saying it doesn’t do any good to pray, Jesus!

Many believe You no longer perform miracles.

But You’re the same  –  

yesterday, today and forever!

There’s nothing You can’t do!

Every miracle You’ve performed in the past
You’re fully able to do today.

So along with Habakkuk I beg You:

Do it again!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad”
(Isaiah 5:3-4)

I don’t know what more You could have done for me, Jesus!

I only pray that when You look at the results
of Your loving investment in me

You will find more good grapes
than bad.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adoration:

“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective…”
(Philemon 1:6)

What an insight, Jesus.

I tend to think of faith as something totally personal
isolated from others.

But you’re showing me that it can be a partnership

with those who have put their trust in You!

Thank You, too, for the reminder

that my faith doesn’t exist merely for itself.

It has a purpose.

May You fulfill every purpose of Yours through us

as I partner with others in the faith!

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 with every fiber of your being:

“And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2)

That seems an obvious statement, Jesus.

Of course wicked and evil people don’t have faith!

Oh, wait a minute…

are You referring to those who only pretend to have faith
but in their hearts are wicked and evil

doing incalculable damage behind my back
while smiling to my face?

Yes, LORD.

Please.
I beg You:

Deliver me from them!

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 unshakable belief:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.”
(Malachi 3:1)

All those years, decades, centuries and millennia of waiting, Jesus

and then suddenly!
it happened.

May I never become impatient with Your timing.

I know.

Easier prayer to pray
than in faith to obey.

But this I also know:

You always do what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

That’s both a harsh word, Jesus

and an immensely comforting one.

Do I want everyone to get what they deserve?

No.

In that case, I’d go to hell.

But when evil people arrogantly, relentlessly, unrepentantly harm others?

The purity of Your righteousness
demands an accounting.

Nevertheless, I will pray for their repentance and restoration

until it’s too late.
