Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.’”
(Micah 4:6-8)


You love us too much, don’t You, Jesus?

We deserve so much worse.
But You give us so much better.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened awareness:

“…Jesus asked them, ‘Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?’ But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.”
(Mark 3:4-5)

That’s how You work nearly every miracle, Jesus –

in spite of our animosity, doubt and outright disbelief.

True, some miracles are granted to those who have faith

which comes directly from You

as a gift.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Do not mortals have hard service on earth? Are not their days like those of hired laborers? Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid, so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.”
(Job 7:1-3)

Job was telling the truth, Jesus.

That’s exactly how he felt.

He didn’t know it

but that wasn’t how his story would end.

You restored and blessed him with more than before!

No matter what I’m going through now

I trust the beautiful end You have in store for me!

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?

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

“Then the Lord said, ‘Put your hand inside your cloak.’ So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow. ‘Now put it back into your cloak,’ he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.”
(Exodus 4:6-7)

This was no parlor trick, Jesus.

This was the real deal –

like everything You do.

Pray this Lazaroo with a full heart:

“I hope to be restored to you…”
(Philemon 1:22)

That’s so good, Jesus.

Paul isn’t focused on restoration for his own sake.

His desire is to be restored to his friend and fellow worker.

He knows Philemon has been praying for that very thing.

When I’m down sick or unavailable

who needs my restoration?

Help me get my focus off of myself

and onto You for Your wisdom and strength
so I can be a blessing to others.

Be filled with hope as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hope to be restored…”
(Philemon 1:22)

Paul was talking about being restored to the church that met in his friends’ home, Jesus.

But those first five words can be prayed by all of us

including me.

You made it clear that following You is not only a joy…

but also requires me to bear a cross – of one kind or another.

Cross-bearing has to be done…but tears me down, Father.

In Your way and time:

Restore me!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Malkijah son of Harim and Hasshub son of Pahath-Moab repaired…the Tower of the Ovens.”
(Nehemiah 3:11)

What an honor, Jesus!

These men restored this important tower
near Jerusalem’s Corner Gate –

“The Tower of the Ovens” –
so named because that’s where the city’s bread was baked.

Like so many faithful people in Your Church who tithe and serve

they didn’t have to be the ones who fed the people.

But they’re the ones

who made the feeding of Your sheep possible.
