Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.”
(Nehemiah 4:6)

That’s the key to real progress, isn’t it, Jesus?

To work with all our hearts.

And not just one or two of us.
All of us.

It’s rare, though.

Why is it that only some of us serve You with that kind of passion?

What we need is all-out revival!
Will You bring that to pass in our lifetimes?

Revive us again!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.”
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

I don’t take this seriously enough, do I, Jesus?

This is real.
We together – Your Church – are Your temple.

Help us at least begin to grasp the honor You have bestowed on us!

Rise up within us, Holy Spirit
to live accordingly.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Then the Lord said, ‘Put your hand inside your cloak.’ So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow. ‘Now put it back into your cloak,’ he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.”
(Exodus 4:6-7)

This was no parlor trick, Jesus.

This was the real deal –

like everything You do.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…comfort from his love…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Oh, Jesus.

There’s no greater comfort than Your love!

Your love is real.
Your love is strong.
Your love is warm.
Your love is encouraging.
Your love is consistent.
Your love is precious.
Your love is everlasting –

for You love me best when I deserve it least.

The love of all others combined cannot compare

except badly.

When I’m beautifully loved by others

I discover that they’re loving me

with Your love.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“After he has…sent me against the nations…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

This is one of Your angels talking, Jesus

speaking powerful, eye-opening words.

We humans think we’re fighting our own battles – and why not?

We have the weapons and wounds to prove it.

But in reality, the bigger battle is occurring in places unseen by us

none the less real for their invisibility.

What happens there plays out here through us.

O God!
Send Your mighty angels against all our enemies!
