Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

Pharaoh was 100% wrong about their being lazy, Jesus.

He was wrong about their motivation, too.
They did intend to go sacrifice to You.

But his instincts were right about one thing:

Thanks to Your amazing power
They weren’t about to come back.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord…and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: ‘a pair of doves or two young pigeons.’”
(Luke 2:22, 24)

Joseph and Mary did what they knew to do for You, Jesus.

Such small things.

But they were obedient to Your Word

leaving the outcome in Your Father’s Hands.

That’s all I can do

but I had better make sure I do it!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.”
(Philippians 2:17)

Can I say that, Jesus?

Is it okay with me if I appear to fail so others can succeed?

I know I should say it.

More importantly, I know I should wholeheartedly embrace it.

Clearly, I have a long way to go

but You see into my heart:

You know I want to get there.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17)

Most nonbelievers think Christianity is a boatload of rules, Jesus.

They would be stunned to read this verse.

Frankly, so am I.

Oh, not because I don’t believe it.
I do!

But because I’ve not been fully living in the freedom
You so lovingly purchased for me by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Help me live moment-by-moment in Your Spirit
through the power of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan…All these things…amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.”
(2 Chronicles 4:16-18)

Whatever I do for You, spend for You, sacrifice for You, Jesus

is never enough!

But oh, the joy of giving my all

knowing my all

is all You require!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?”
(1 Samuel 2:27, 29)

We think we’re getting away with it, Jesus

…but we’re not.

You see every underhanded thing we do.

Help me keep my hands on top of the table!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awareness:

“I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes—a people without understanding will come to ruin!”
(Hosea 4:14)

Give me understanding, Jesus!

Especially help me grasp the power of my example.

You certainly do –

excusing the sins of these young women
because of the awful example set before them.

May everyone who looks to me

safely follow my steps

as I follow Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…by his grace…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Nothing else, Jesus.

There’s no other way under heaven
that I could ever go to heaven.

By Your grace alone.

Not by my greatest effort.
Not by my most selfless sacrifice.
Not by my sincerest attempts to please You.

Only by Your grace

will I rise from death to share eternity with You
and all the saints who’ve gone before.

Grace! Grace! Your matchless grace!
Grace that is greater than all my sin.

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting submission:

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man…”
(1 Timothy 2:12)

It’s doubtful that Paul would follow such a practice today, Jesus.

In that culture, female leadership over men
was a stumbling block to the advancement of Your kingdom.

So he asked women with those gifts and skills

to graciously exercise them with other women.

O God! May I be willing to make any sacrifice

for the sake of Your great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“’You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones.’ The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.”
(2 Kings 3:19-20)

That didn’t make sense, Jesus!

Water? They hadn’t asked for water!

But water was exactly what they needed.

Like I, so often…

they just didn’t know it.
