Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“David said about him: ‘‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.’”
(Acts 2:25)

Next time I’m in a fight for my goals, my relationships, my very life

I’m imagining You there at my right hand, Jesus.

Except it’s not my imagination.

It‘s real.
You’ll actually be there.

Let me rephrase that:

You’re here.
At my right hand.

Now.

David is right:

I will not be shaken!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the two officials were hanged on a gallows.”
(Esther 2:23)

When it was discovered that these men were plotting to assassinate the king, Jesus

it cost them their lives.

But this was no isolated, meaningless incident.

You used it as one of an amazing series of events
to save the lives of Your people in Persia and Media.

O God! Your greatness continually astounds me.

You are working in literally everything that happens
large or small.

Including this.
Right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in full devotion:

“They all march in line, not swerving from their course.”
(Joel 2:7)

If locusts can do that, Jesus…

why can’t I?

Oh, I do well for a while…

then all of a sudden, I swerve
leave the lane You’ve marked out for me.

Do I make it back on course?

Sure. Here I am, talking with You right now
and grateful to be doing it.

But I would really like to mature to the point

where I never stray.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“I wrote you out of…anguish of heart…”
(2 Corinthians 2:4)

Not everyone knows what “anguish of heart” is, Jesus

though in time, perhaps most of us will.

Interestingly, Paul’s anguish of heart had nothing to do with

his health
his finances
a failed romantic relationship.

His heart was breaking because the Christians in this city had compromised Your holy standards.

Would my heart break over something like that?

If so…
I would be in anguish of heart
right now.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus…”
(Ephesians 2:6)

Let me see if I’m understanding this, Jesus…

in You, I’m now seated with Your Father in the heavenly realms?

Already?
Right now?

Wow.

I don’t know what to do with that.

I’m certainly not experiencing it
at least…not in any way I can discern.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

If You say it is
it is.
