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

“…pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

I need some of that strength, Jesus.

Right now.

Did I say, “some” of that strength?

Make that “a lot” of Your strength!

There are times when Satan’s attacks are relentless

day after day after day.

Without You, I’d never make it.

With You – in Your Strength –

I know I will!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.”
(Jonah 4:1)

There are a lot of things going on right now, Jesus

that seem very wrong to me.

Am I going to be like Jonah?

Am I going to be angry about it
shake my fist in Your face

and charge You with wrongdoing?

Even worse

am I going to lose faith
conclude You no longer intervene
in the affairs of earth?

NO!

I put all my trust in You!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy…”
(2 Timothy 2:20-21)

So that’s my reward for cleansing myself, Jesus?

To be made holy?

I’ll take it!

Going to work on cleansing myself right now.

Wow. This is harder than I thought.

Only You!
Only You!
Only You!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of “God bless it! God bless it!’” Then the word of the Lord came to me: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it.”’”
(Zechariah 4:7-9)

No one can

turn the tables
flip the script
upend the status quo

like You can, Jesus!

That’s what I need You to do right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.”
(2 Chronicles 5:7-8)

This was the last time most of them would ever see the ark, Jesus.

But because of what You did on the cross
I’m meeting with You in the Most Holy Place right now!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Let everyone call urgently on God.”
(Jonah 3:8)

When do I pray like this, Jesus?

When do ask everyone I know to pray like this?

Sometime it’s when there’s an opportunity to do something great.

But most of the time
it’s when I’ve run out of options
and disaster is imminent.

Is that happening anywhere in my life right now?

Anywhere in the lives of others?

Always.

Time for me – for all of us – to call urgently on You!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in awestruck gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Philemon 1:25)

Oh, Jesus.

Your grace.

Your loving, perfect, immeasurable

matchless grace.

Everything You’ve done for me in the past.
Everything You’re doing for me right now.
Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.
Even the worst ones.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –
forever and ever and ever, without end.

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

wholly undeserved.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…God our Father…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Oh, Jesus!

The Father of us all sent You to us!

But it gets even better.

You and the Father are One.
Anyone who has seen You has seen the Father!

There is one God.
Only One.

Isaiah said it:

You will be called, “Everlasting Father.”

Through You, God created everything that exists.

In the Person of the Holy Spirit
You live inside me

right now.

My eternal God!

They Is.
He Are.
