Pray this Lazaroo in heart-pounding love:

“But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish. Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence. Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.”
(Psalm 9:18-20)

All too often, Jesus

the powerful trample on the needy.

But You see what they’re doing.

Everyone You’ve created is precious to You –
especially the poor, the hurting, the downtrodden.

It is You who are their Defender

who will take up their case.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.”
(2 Chronicles 5:10)

At one time, Jesus, the gold jar of manna and Aaron’s staff that had budded were inside the ark.

You don’t tell us why or how these precious items disappeared.

If I’m missing something in our relationship that used to be precious

restore it, dear LORD!
I beg You!

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly determination:

“The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.”
(1 Chronicles 9:13)

Make me like these, Jesus –

able…and responsible –
ministering in Your house.

Only You – the Giver of every good gift –

can make me competent to do Your Work!

Help me be truly responsible –

fulfilling my duties day after day, without fail.

And no matter where You place me in Your Church –

from the front to the back pew –

use me to minister to Your precious people!

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 with overflowing gratitude for nine precious God-ordained, Word-of-God honoring years!

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12)

Your Word, Jesus! Your Word!

It’s the Lamp for my feet
the Light for my pathway.

Teach me through Your Word!

Fill me with Your Word!

May I daily hide Your Word in my heart

that I might not sin against You!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“For in Scripture it says: ‘See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.’”
(1 Peter 2:6)

You’ve made that promise directly to me, Jesus.

Hallelujah!

I will never be put to shame
because I trust in You!

You’re my Only Hope
because You’re all I need.

On You, my Solid Rock I stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went…”
(Nahum 2:11)

The lion and lioness need a den, Jesus –

a place to rest
to hide from their enemies
to call home.

And so do my precious brothers and sisters around the world.

But some of them are too poor.
Others are being attacked, fleeing for their lives.

O God!

Rescue them!
Don’t let the enemy overtake them.

I beg You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you have an anointing from the Holy One…”
(1 John 2:20)

I can’t begin to tell you how much that means to me, Jesus!

Though I’m wholly undeserving

because I’ve put my eternal hope in You as my Savior

Your anointing rests on me.

Your Protection.
Your Presence.
Your Guidance.
Your Blessing.
Your Healing.
Your Favor.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I can’t keep this to myself, can I?

Everyone needs Your precious, life-changing anointing.

Please work through me to let them know.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“In fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.”
(Lamentations 2:3)

Oh, Jesus.

Anyone who repeatedly, unrepentantly abuses your longsuffering love can expect to experience Your fierce, all-consuming wrath!

May that never, ever be me!

Cause Your precious, amazing love to motivate me
to higher and higher levels of grateful obedience!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“The LORD will…again choose…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

When I’ve done what I shouldn’t have, Jesus

sinning against You

when my sins have forced You to discipline me

bringing me pain, sorrow, suffering, excruciating regret

it can feel like You and I will never be close again
that I’ve forever lost the precious intimacy we had –

until, in repentance, I look up in happy, near disbelief

to realize You choose once again

to experience deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with me.
