Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…Ephraim turned to Assyria, and sent to the great king for help. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores. For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.”
(Hosea 5:13-14)

May I never turn to anyone else for help Jesus –

not for my relationships, my finances, my health.

You alone are my Deliverer, my Supplier, my Healer.

Pray this Lazaroo with solemn determination:

“…since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience…God again set a certain day, calling it ‘Today.’ This he did when a long time later he spoke through David… ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’”
(Hebrews 4:6-7)

A hard heart can cost me everything, Jesus!

It can ruin the relationships I desire with my friends and family

and cripple my relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [who]…made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
(Philippians 2:5, 7-8)

Wow, Jesus.

You didn’t have to do that!

In fact, You shouldn’t have.
Not for the likes of me.

But You did!

You lowered Yourself for a person who couldn’t get any lower

because You love me

and want to lift me up higher
than I could ever imagine.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing…”
(Philippians 2:5-7)

Before all time You were Everything, Jesus

but out of Your fierce, deep, incomprehensible love for me

You made Yourself nothing

so I could become everything

You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“David said about him: ‘‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”
(Acts 2:25)

Next time I’m in a fight for my goals, my relationships, my very life

I’m imagining You there at my right hand, Jesus.

Except it’s not my imagination.

It‘s real.
You’ll actually be there.

Let me rephrase that:

You’re here.
At my right hand.

Now.

David is right:

I will not be shaken!

Pray this Lazaroo in marveling gratitude:

“…he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.”
(Matthew 2:23)

Your stepdad had no idea he was fulfilling Scripture, did he, Jesus?

He just picked out the town that seemed to be a safer place to live.

How many times do I unknowingly do the same thing with my choices –

the places I live
the vehicles I drive
the relationships I enjoy
the work I do?

Absolutely all of it fits perfectly –

into Your plan for the ages.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“When they left…”
(Joshua 2:22)

Joshua’s spies left when they had to, Jesus.

Otherwise, they would have failed in Your purpose.

There’s a time for me to leave, too.

Jobs…relationships…homes…churches…cities…countries –

any of those and plenty else –

are up for grabs.

But sometimes You call me to stay in them for now…

or for the duration.

So the reason for me to leave anything, anyone, anywhere

is not because it’s hard, boring, dangerous, painful

but only because You say so.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“If he…owes you anything, charge it to me.”
(Philemon 1:18)

Is there anything more loving than this, Jesus?

Well, yes, I guess there is:
Your death on the cross!

But still…this one’s right up there.

It’s signing a blank check in behalf of another person.

Not only does that show love for the person
but it demonstrates significant trust in the creditor.

May more and more of my relationships

be marked by this kind of love and trust!
