Pray this Lazaroo with desperate faith:

“…never again will my people be shamed. And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:27-28)

I long for the day when we will no longer be shamed, Jesus!

Pour out Your Spirit on all Your people!
Grant us holy dreams and visions!

Yes, we read Your Word and do our best to apply it to our lives.

But we’re so weary of wondering
if we got it right.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject humility:

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet…‘Lord, I have heard of your fame…’”
(Habakkuk 3:1-2)

Habakkuk isn’t the only one, Jesus.

So have I.

I’ve read the Bible. Marveled at Your miracles.

You’re All-Powerful.
There’s nothing You can’t do.

But I’ve also discovered the hard way:

I can’t make You grant me a miracle

just because I desperately want it

just because I believe

I absolutely have to have it.

That You know better than I do

is also part of Your fame.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read…they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop. Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill…”
(Ezra 4:23-24)

That doesn’t seem right, Jesus!

All because of a letter?

No.

You’re in Total Control.
You’re Sovereign!

Never let me forget that when something happens or doesn’t happen

it’s because You caused it
or allowed it.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?…he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat…The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath…So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
(Mark 2:25-28)

You’re the One who makes the rules, Jesus.

I’m not about to question You when You change them.

My job is real simple:

Obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition.”
(Ezra 4:18-19)

They found what they looked for, Jesus.

If I’m looking for something bad in someone

I’ll probably find it.

If I’m looking for something good in the same person

there it will be.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17)

Most nonbelievers think Christianity is a boatload of rules, Jesus.

They would be stunned to read this verse.

Frankly, so am I.

Oh, not because I don’t believe it.
I do!

But because I’ve not been fully living in the freedom
You so lovingly purchased for me by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Help me live moment-by-moment in Your Spirit
through the power of Your Word!
