Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Elisha said to Gehazi, ‘Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.’ But the child’s mother said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.’ So he got up and followed her.”
(2 Kings 4:29-30)

This Shunammite woman knew who had it, Jesus…

and who didn’t.

Help me know the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with holy passion:

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure…Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”
(Philippians 2:14-16)

It’s not the stuff I build that lays up heavenly treasure, is it, Jesus?

It’s the people You work through me to build

who are living Your overcoming life!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 4:10-12)

These were Your words through King David to his son, the future King Solomon.

But they’re also Your words to me, Jesus.

You call me to walk in the way of wisdom

to make these promises come true in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with never-say-die grit:

“If we endure…”
(2 Timothy 2:12)

That’s one big “if,” isn’t it, Jesus?

It’s one thing to start strong.
I’ve done that plenty of times.

But it’s another thing entirely to keep going through the slog of the middle

all the way to the finish line.

The initial burst of excitement wanes.
There’s pushback…there are setbacks.
My run slows to a walk…a trudge…a crawl.

I’ve started far more times than I’ve finished.

But by Your grace
not this time.

Pray this Lazaroo in non-arguing obedience:

“Go now to your countrymen in exile…”
(Ezekiel 3:10)

Tough assignment, Jesus!

These people were pretty cranky over being expelled from their homeland.
They were also rebellious against You.

When You place me among bad attitude people

all I want to do is run.

But they need help, encouragement and Your Word too, don’t they?

So I guess the main thing for me to keep in mind

is to embrace my God-given mission

and not become cranky and rebellious. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in steely commitment:

“Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!”
(Zechariah 2:7)

That pretty much says it, Jesus.

The Daughter of Babylon is where I live.

I hear You:

“Escape!”

But how am I going to do that?

Sure, I can leave this country…
but where am I going to go?

There’s not a nation on earth

that isn’t acting like a Daughter of Babylon.

When I escape, it won’t be with my feet

but with my head and my heart.
