Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-wide-open love:

“I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.”
(Lamentations 3:1-3)

Jeremiah didn’t sugarcoat it, Jesus.

He knew You had the power to stop the attacks against him.

You’re my Protector, too.

When bad things happen to me
it’s Your choice to cause or allow them…

because You know what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building. They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.”
(Ezra 4:4-5)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus

until one of them comes after me.

What would I do, if I didn’t have You!

You alone are my Protector and Deliverer!

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt trust:

“Their condemnation has long been hanging over them…”
(2 Peter 2:3)

What a terrifying place to be in, Jesus!

…for those who are spiritually aware.

Of course, if I’m spiritually aware, I won’t land in such a place.

It’s only when I’m deaf, blind and dumb to spiritual reality

that I repeatedly make the kinds of decisions
that destine me for condemnation.

O God, my Redeemer and Protector:

May I ever remain
in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You!

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.

Cry out to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the pursuers…searched all along the road and returned without finding them.”
(Joshua 2:22)

You hid them, Jesus!

That’s why their enemies couldn’t find them.

O God! Hide me from all who mean me harm!

Hide me in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Be my Shield, my Protector, my Defender.

But enable all who love You and Your Word

to find me, Father!

so together we can pool the gifts You’ve given us

to bring eternal glory to You!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The shields of his soldiers are red…”
(Nahum 2:3)

That might be paint on their shields, Jesus…

but it’s probably blood.

Since their shields are covered in blood

and since they’re still standing
their enemies must have fallen.

These soldiers must be awfully good.

Not a pretty thought, Father!

But there’s no way around it:
that’s the reality of battle.

Some of those walking around have my blood on their shields, Father.

Why am I still here?
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.”
(Judges 2:14)

A strong enemy is hard enough to defeat, Jesus

impossible without Your help.

From the looks of it, Your people were successful

until they turned their backs on You
and lost their Protector.

That’s not something I ever want to do, LORD!

Not just because I can’t bear for my enemies to win
but because I long to stay close to You.
