Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”
(Malachi 3:1)

You gave this revelation to Malachi, Jesus –

more than 400 years before it was fulfilled
in your cousin John the Baptist.

Your Way. Your Time.

Always perfect.

My way. My time.

Usually flawed!

May I always remember how much You know

and how little I know

how much You see
how little I see.

So when You do it differently than I would

on a different schedule

Help me trust You

completely.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of gratitude:

“I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Thank You for reminding me to pray for the people I’m thankful for, Jesus.

Bless them richly for making such a difference in my life
and in the lives of so many others.

Cause others to be a blessing to them
as they are being a blessing to me.

Thank You, too, for reminding me to thank You for those on my prayer list

even if it’s only to give me
one more reason to talk with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focused intent:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you.”
(1 John 2:24)

It doesn’t do much good, Jesus

to hear the great, life-changing truths of Your Word

then fail to remember them

not build every aspect of my life upon them.

You’ve told me to see to it that I don’t let that happen.

That means I’m the one responsible.

If I don’t do it
I have no one to blame but myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“I always thank my God as I remember you…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Who are these people in my life, Jesus?

Those who spark feelings of gratitude
every time I think of them?

In fact, You are the one
who placed them in my life!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Now comes the most personal question:

Is there anyone out there
who can say the same of me?

O God! Make me the kind of person

for whom others thank You
every time they remember me!

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

“Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.”
(Job 7:7-8)

This is absolutely how Job felt, Jesus

but what he felt was absolutely wrong.

He spoke out of the pain and bitterness of his immense suffering

supposing they would continue till the day he died.

They didn’t.

You stepped in and rescued him!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I sent messengers to Sihon king of Heshbon offering peace and saying, ‘Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left. Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver.’ But Sihon…refused to let us pass through.”
(Deuteronomy 2:26-28; 30)

There are going to be days like that, Jesus.

I’ve experienced a few of them.

But it helps to remember

it happened in accordance with Your perfect plan.

Pray this Lazaroo in peaceful trust:

“In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them…”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

Ashkelon was one of the most secure, well-defended cities of its day, Jesus.

Those who lived there could sleep soundly

knowing they were protected by a huge wall on the land side
and by a high natural bluff on the side facing the sea.

But may I always remember:

Without Your protection, nobody is safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.”
(Esther 4:1)

Mordecai felt exactly the way most of us would feel, Jesus

when confronted with horrific, disastrously unacceptable news.

He was right.

The threatened annihilation of all the Jews was catastrophic.

But He was also wrong.

Because You were about to turn this unthinkable situation
into stunning victory.

Help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to lose it over bad news.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted determination:

“Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.”
(Proverbs 4:1-2)

That’s the prayer of every Godly parent, Jesus!

But do the children listen?
Do they take it to heart?

Do they remember it?
Do they put it into practice?

No parent can make a child respond to their hard-earned wisdom, no matter how hard they try.

But as Your child

that’s exactly what I’m determined to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Joshua…said to them, ‘Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, to serve as a sign among you.’”
(Joshua 4:4-6)

You had just worked an amazing miracle, Jesus.

They set those stones in the middle of the Jordan
to make certain they would always remember what You did.

What stones do I need to set – and where?
