Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Why do you now cry aloud—have you no king? Has your ruler perished, that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor? Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion…you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.”
(Micah 4:9-10)

When my sins have cost me my home, Jesus

is all lost?

No.

Even in a strange and foreign land

You can rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
(Hosea 6:3)

I cannot tell You how desperately I need Your sun to appear, Jesus!

I long to have You come to me like the winter rains!
I’ve got to have Your spring rains water my parched earth!

Rescue me.
Please.

Rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo in transparent desperation:

”…the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh…”
(2 Peter 2:9-10)

My flesh has some corrupt desires, Jesus –

to which I’ve given in
far too often.

But that’s not who I want to be!

In Your power, Holy Spirit
that’s not who I will be!

Rescue me from these trials and temptations, Father!

You’re my only Hope.

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

“…you see something dreadful and are afraid. Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth, deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’? Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.’”
(Job 6:21-24)

Job had no clue that You were proving his greatness to Satan, Jesus.

Help me trust You, LORD!

even when to me
what’s happening makes no sense.

Trust in the LORD, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.”
(Psalms 7:1-2)

Your ancestor King David wrote this song to You, Jesus

concerning Cush the Benjamite
who was falsely accusing him.

David was crying out to You for protection –

as do I, LORD!

You’re my only hope

against the immense harm of false accusations.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“They all march in line…”
(Joel 2:7)

It’s bad enough when my enemies show up one at a time, Jesus.

But when a horde of them lines up against me?

Not good.

Of course, this was a plague of locusts sent by You

against Your chronically rebellious people.

So as long as I stay obedient to You

I won’t have to face that fearsome sight.

Or if I do, I can remain confident

knowing You will surely rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.”
(1 Kings 2:21)

How many times have I made Bathsheba’s mistake, Jesus?

She thought she was doing her son’s brother a favor.

But if Solomon had granted her request

Adonijah may have overthrown his brother as king
and killed her and Solomon.

How many times have people plotted behind my back?
How many times have You rescued me from dangers I couldn’t see?

Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Does a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey?”
(Amos 3:4)

I can’t imagine many things more terrifying, Jesus

especially when I’ve done wrong and know it.

You’ve warned me that Satan prowls around like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.

I don’t want to hear the roar of that lion, Father!

Not when I’m in a thicket.
Not when I’m its prey.

Not unless it’s the Lion of Judah

rescuing me when I pray.

Face your vulnerability, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I called to my allies but they betrayed me.”
(Lamentations 1:18)

Allies are there just in case, Jesus.

I make promises to them
and they to me.

It might be months or years before I need them

but when calamity comes
that’s when I call on them for help.

Only then do I find out whether I have an ally

or a betrayer.

The only one who knows beforehand is You, Father!

Please.
I beg You!

Protect me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But you brought my life up from the pit…”
(Jonah 2:6)

That’s Your specialty, Jesus –

bringing my life up from the pit –

perhaps because that’s where I’ve spent way too much of my life.

Sometimes I knew exactly where I was
down, hurting, defeated, depressed.

At other times – blind as a bat –
I thought I was on the mountaintop

when in reality, I was mired even deeper in the pit.

But You! In Love! Every time!

lift me out.
