Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men…at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:48-49)

You’re the one who made the king promote Daniel, Jesus.

Then You laid it on Daniel’s heart
to take his fellow Jews along for the ride.

Take me wherever You desire, LORD!

even if You have to move heaven and earth to do it.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Oh, that I might have my request…that God would be willing to…cut off my life! Then I would still have this consolation—my joy in unrelenting pain—that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.”
(Job 6:8-10)

Job was afraid he’d dishonor You, Jesus

So he was saying:

“Just kill me now!”

But that wasn’t Your plan, was it?

You put Job through this to prove something to Satan
and teach Job a thing or two!

Message received and recorded.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Humble beginnings, Jesus.

Elisha started out as a servant to the great prophet Elijah
a step-and-fetch-it, a do-whatever-I’m-told.

He remained in that role until You called his master home.

And then he demonstrated that he had been paying attention:
He asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit.

Wow. Where did that come from?

And You granted his request!

You really love to reward the humble.

Tuesday, October 22, 2019

 

Maybe rethink a few things, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I ask that we love one another.”
(2 John 1:5)

Why does John make this request, Jesus?

Because too often, we don’t love one another.

Oh, we say we do…

but when all is said and done
more is said than done –

especially when it comes to love.

We love one another like we love potato chips –

until things go stale.

We love one another like we love some teams –

until they lose.

Please LORD!

Help me love like You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“All right, let them do it.”
(2 Samuel 2:14)

It’s hard to turn down a request, Jesus

especially if it comes from somebody important to me
or somebody who’s persistent and passionate.

But some requests need to be turned down no matter who makes them

or how insistently they’re made.

This was one of them

and both generals failed.

Don’t let me become a pushover, Father!

If it’s wrong
help me stand
no matter who or what.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Do not refuse me.”
(1 Kings 2:20)

Depending on the person who says it, Jesus

this is either an easy request
or a hard one.

If it’s someone I like, respect or trust

I’m going to want to honor it.

If it’s someone I dislike and don’t trust

I’m going to be very suspicious.

Ultimately, however, it doesn’t come down to what I think of them.

The only thing that matters
is what You want me to do.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion: 

“ ‘I have one request’…’You may make it,’ she said.”
(1 Kings 2:16)

It’s one thing to let someone make a request, Jesus

quite another to grant it.

The moment Bathsheba allowed Adonijah to make his request, she felt obligated to say yes.

Needlessly.

In this case, foolishly.

Please remind me to separate the two!

Please give me the wisdom to discern among

good
better
best.

along with the courage to reject

every request
that isn’t best.
