Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the Lord…As he stretched himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm…The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.”
(2 Kings 4:32-35)

You don’t usually raise the dead, Jesus.

Until it’s time for us to die You protect us.

But every once in a while You do the impossible!

to remind us You can.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.”
(Isaiah 4:5-6)

Cover me, Jesus

just like that.

May Your power overshadow me
Your shelter protect me and hide me

from all who intend me harm.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy caution:

“…Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
(2 Samuel 3:24-25)

That wasn’t what Joab feared, Jesus.

He was afraid Abner would replace him.

How many times do the people around me disguise their true intent?

Only You know.

Great God!

Protect me!

Lean heavily on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now the overseer… must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
(1 Timothy 3:2,4-5)

What a challenge for this man You’ve called into Your service, Jesus!

You know how Satan attacks him, his wife
and every member of his family.

Protect them, LORD!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.”
(Colossians 2:4)

As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus

there are so many people out there
who enjoy deceiving others.

That’s the work of Satan, isn’t it?

They don’t believe in You.
They couldn’t!

If they believed in a God who sees and hears and knows all

there’s no way in this world
they would practice this kind of deceit.

I’m begging You, Father:

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”
(Proverbs 4:4-6)

Look and see, Jesus!

I’m taking hold of Your words with all my heart
doing my best – always and forever –
to obey Your Word.

Give me wisdom!
Give me understanding!

Take note! as you Pray this Lazaroo:

“‘The man who hates and divorces his wife,’ says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘does violence to the one he should protect,’ says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful.”
(Malachi 2:16)

To the newlywed husband and wife, Jesus

those words are unnecessary and unthinkable!

But with the passage of time

and the inevitable sins they commit against one another

Your warning to every husband whom Satan incites to abuse his wife

is essential.

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

“To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker…”
(Philemon 1:1)

It’s great to have a friend, Jesus

and what would I do, if I didn’t have people to work alongside me?

But to have both in one person – a friend and fellow worker –

is golden.

Thank You for every one of them You’ve placed in my life!

Bless them richly.
Protect them.

Help me show them the love and gratitude I feel for them.

Enable me to be a great friend and fellow worker to others!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“For if God…protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others…if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless…then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials…”
(2 Peter 2:4-5, 7,9)

You did protect Noah, Jesus.

You protected Lot, too.

The thing is…

I’m not as righteous as Noah or Lot.

All I have going for me is Your forgiveness for my countless sins.

But praise Your Holy Name!

That’s enough.

Cry out to God for protection, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.”
(Esther 3:8)

Haman was plotting to destroy Your chosen people, Jesus!

Please deliver Your Church and those I love
from those whose hearts Satan has filled
with the same evil intent!
