Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, ‘My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for.’”
(Ruth 3:1)

Naomi was a heartbroken widow, Jesus.

No one would have blamed her
for wanting Ruth to stay and take care of her.

But Naomi entrusted herself to You

and put Ruth’s needs ahead of her own.

O God!

Rise up within me so strongly
that I have that same caring heart toward others!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Where now is the lions’ den…”
(Nahum 2:11)

Is it about lions you’re concerned, Jesus?

Yes…

but not this time.

These are the people of Ninevah who viewed themselves as lions

believing they could always return to the safety of their homes

as lions return to their dens.

You gave them their chance to repent at the preaching of Jonah

and they did…

for a time…

then went right back to sinning.

When I repent, Holy Spirit…

rise up within me to make it stick!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervent spirit:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Edom, Jesus.

The people descended from Esau
whom You rejected in favor of his twin brother Jacob.

Though he was deeply flawed, You loved Jacob
but hated Esau – along with his descendants.

This makes me wonder:

If that’s what You said about Jacob and Esau
what do you say about me?

Whatever You didn’t like about Esau, keep from me!

But cause to rise up within me
whatever You loved about Jacob.

Pray this Lazaroo with lights out determination!

“…if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah…”
(2 Peter 2:5)

Now, why would You do that, Jesus?

Well, let’s see:

Noah was a righteous man.
He was blameless among the people of his time.
He walked with You.

Wow. No wonder he found favor in Your eyes!

I can either shake my head, admitting I’m no Noah…

or I can ask You to rise up within me in total transformation.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The word of the LORD is with him.”
(2 Kings 3:12)

May that be said of me, Jesus!

Not simply because I have a Bible on my coffee table
or beside my bed.

Not merely because I have a Bible app on my phone.
Not just because I can quote a few verses of Scripture.

But because I’m living out Your Word!
Because everything I say is in keeping with Your Word!

Rise up within me
to make it so.

Pray this Lazaroo in ever-expanding faith:

“…his forces are beyond number…”
(Joel 2:11)

This fills me with joy, Jesus!

We humans have come up with some pretty big numbers –

not that any of us can really count that high!

But still, we know what they represent. They’re legit.

So, to try to grasp the size of Your forces

is impossible for my mind to conceive.

But it causes a great sense of comfort and protection and safety

to rise up within me.

In You
I’m safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with righteous determination:

“…without anger…”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

There’s righteous anger, Jesus

but that’s not what You’re talking about, is it?

You’re telling me to worship You and serve You and interact with others

free of the caustic acid of unrighteous anger.

My anger.

Where do I allow that to creep in, Holy Spirit?

Show me!

So rise up within me in Your love and power

that You enable me to totally eradicate it from my life.

In Jesus’ Name!

Amen.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…you notice me…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth was stunned to be noticed by Boaz, Jesus.

She didn’t know You were at work
preparing his heart to be her husband

preparing her to become great-grandmother to King David
whose line extended all the way

to You.

But she was too humble to predict any of that!

Rise up in me with that same humility, Holy Spirit!

Knowing I don’t deserve to be noticed
being thrilled when –

because of Your love and mercy –

I am.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…from generation to generation.”
(Luke 1:50)

Most people don’t give two hoots about what happens outside their lifetimes, Jesus.

But You do.

You orchestrate the full sweep of the ages.

You watch every generation come and go.
You see the end from the beginning.

You’re the Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and The End.

Rise up within me, LORD!

until I care as much about the generations who follow me
as I do about what happens under my nose.
