Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.”
(2 Chronicles 6:5-6)

Saul wasn’t Your choice, Jesus.

He was the king the people wanted.

Thank You for wanting –

and choosing me!

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 open-eyed awareness:

“Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.’”
(Genesis 4:6-7)

Sin is crouching at my door, too, Jesus.

May I never forget how passionately and persistently
sin desires to have me!

But may I always remember:

Greater are You in me
than the one who is in the world!

Pray this Lazaroo in deep respect:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to the Israelites: “Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.”’”
(Numbers 5:5-7)

I’ve gotta believe, Jesus…

if we followed Your rule today

a lot fewer of us
would choose to wrong another.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Abner said to David, ‘Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.’ So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.”
(2 Samuel 3:21)

Abner did the right thing for the wrong reason, Jesus.

Soon after speaking these words
it cost him his life.

May I always do what’s right – and for the right reason:

to please You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star.”
(Revelation 2:26-28)

Your authority? The morning star?

These rewards are unimaginably awesome, Jesus!

Please rise up in power within me!

Help me finish strong!
