Pray this Lazaroo in bold, confident faith:

“That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place.”
(Deuteronomy 2:20-21)

No matter how big or how powerful my enemy, Jesus…

please help me remember:

The bigger they are

the harder they fall

when You’re the one

knocking them down.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth.”
(Jonah 3:7-8)

First of all, that’s downright impressive, Jesus.

I’ve never heard of covering animals with sackcloth.
None of the people’s sins was the animals’ fault!

Clearly, this king was over-the-top humbling himself before You.

No wonder You relented!

That’s an example I need to keep in mind.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”
(Revelation 3:3)

Is there any area of my life where I’m spiritually asleep, Jesus?

Wake me up!

I long to be alert and ready
to repel Satan’s attacks

and to receive whatever You have in store for me.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.”
(Esther 3:13)

How could such an evil thing happen, Jesus –

especially to Your chosen people?

It was because You were about to rescue them
and also destroy their enemies!

Help me to remember that

next time something evil shows up at my door.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”
(Joshua 4:2-3)

You wanted to make certain they remembered this miracle, didn’t You, Jesus?

May I never, never, never forget all You have done for me

…even if I have to erect a pile of stones somewhere!

As you pray this Lazaroo…remember!

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Do I remember when I was like that, Jesus –

right after I first gave myself to You?

I certainly craved pure spiritual milk then!

I attended Bible studies, never missed a church service.
If there was something You wanted me to do, I did it!

What do I crave now?

Restore to me the heart of a newborn, Father!

not with immaturity

but in passionate desire for You and Your Word.

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit:

“They declared a fast…”
(Jonah 3:5)

These days, Jesus

people seldom declare a fast
unless their serious.

We go without food only when we want something really badly

or when we’ve had the living tar scared out of us.

That was pretty much what happened to the Ninevites

after Jonah showed up and warned them
that You were going to destroy their city in 40 days.

May I always remember:

Because they got serious and got serious fast

You relented.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.”
(Jude 1:17)

Why would Jude tell me to remember their words, Jesus?

Only one reason:

Because what they foretold will come true.

As with Your prophets down through the ages

You reveal the future to Your people through Your apostles.

Of course, just because people call themselves prophets or apostles

doesn’t mean they’re the real deal.

People don’t appoint themselves to these high offices.

Only You have that right.

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“…remember…”
(Jude 1:17)

What a powerful word, Jesus!

“Remember!”

There’s way too much I forget, isn’t there?

the wonderful truths in Your Word that daily sustain me
the countless blessings with which You’ve showered my life
my own sins when I’m tempted to look down on others
the wonderful, Godly people You’ve brought into my world
the many times You’ve rescued me when I was in trouble
how awesome is the home You’ve prepared…

that awaits me in heaven!

Pray this Lazaroo in thoughtful recognition:

“Go back to your field…You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”
(1 Kings 2:26)

I love Solomon’s decision, Jesus!

For attempting to overthrow King Solomon
Abiathar deserved to die.

But Solomon spared his life
out of respect for his past service to his father

It’s not about this moment alone, is it, Father?

Help me remember!
