Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“…he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, ‘You are the Son of God.’ But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.”
(Mark 3:10-12)

It’s so sad, Jesus

that demons can recognize who You Are
but millions of people cannot.

Clearly, only those whom the Father draws to You

will ever bow at Your feet.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…Mordecai…tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly. But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it.”
(Esther 4:1-2)

The king didn’t want to see anybody who was sad, Jesus.

He wanted everything to appear happy.

Thank You for being the King of kings

who invites me to come close to You
when my heart is breaking.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting excitement:

“…our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Oh, Jesus.

Thank You for eternal encouragement!

I’ve never known anything else like it.

All other encouragement on this earth is short-lived.

Hopeful today…discouraged tomorrow.
Happy today…sad tomorrow.
Feeling good today…feeling bad tomorrow.

But Yours is the encouragement that never wanes.

In fact, as I draw closer to the day I draw my last breath

it keeps getting stronger.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting faith:

“When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?”
(Amos 3:6)

Well, no, Jesus.

Not much anymore. At least, not in my city.

When a trumpet plays taps at a funeral

we’re usually sad…but seldom tremble.

These days, trumpets are happy instruments

bringing bright, brassy sounds to bands, orchestras, concerts.

But back in the day, the sound of a trumpet in the city

meant the enemy was attacking.

And one day Your trumpet

will melt hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“…that you would all share my joy.”
(2 Corinthians 2:3)

That seldom happens, Jesus.

For one thing, some of my joys are private
known by no one else…or by only a few.

Then, too, the very thing that makes me happy
may make someone else sad…mad…or fearful.

Even my closest friends and family have

different personalities
different perspectives
different life experiences.

But it truly enhances my joy when others share it!

So please – help me share theirs with them.
