Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…called, ‘uncircumcised’ by those who call themselves ‘the circumcision’…”
(Ephesians 2:11)

There’s something about being one of the “haves,” Jesus

that Satan can twist to make us want to exclude

the “have nots.”

But that’s not who You Are!

You’ve called us who have so much
to be generous with those who have so little.

You despise the exclusive clique mentality!

You urge us to include everyone

who trusts and obeys You.

Use me
to lift others up!

Pray this Lazaroo in staunch confidence:

“…the same things those churches suffered…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Same old devil, Jesus

same beautiful Church.

Of course, when churches leave the foundation of Your Word

Satan is happy, leaves them alone –
except when he attends

…’cause he’s quite comfortable there.

But the more a church obeys You

the more the enemy of our souls attacks
because he’s scared to death.

He’s fully aware of Your promise –

that the gates of hell will not prevail against such a church.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“…filled with gladness…”
(Job 3:22)

There are lots of reasons to be filled with gladness, Jesus

but Job’s was pretty bleak.

He was so deeply depressed over the loss of his loved ones, his possessions and his health that he wanted to die.

He assumed when he did, he would be filled with gladness.

He had no clue this was happening

because You bragged about him to Satan!

Teach me to trust You

when life doesn’t make sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with all your might:

“God chose you…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Are there any sweeter words in any language, Jesus?

You chose me!

Me! Unworthy, sin-stained, fault-ridden, inconsistent, sad sack me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

This must stun all of heaven.

The angels’ jaws have to drop.
Satan must be blinking in disbelief, baffled.

But not as baffled as I…nor those who know me.

Every time we lift Your Name in worship

The loudest praise

should be mine.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the little foxes that ruin the vineyards…”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

Sometimes it’s the big sins that cause us to crash and burn, Jesus.

But when Satan fails to take us down that way
he sends in his little foxes.

They’re the sins we tell ourselves are “no big deal.”

They’re the ones “even good Christians commit.”

Which, of course, is the point.

That’s who Satan ferociously targets:

those determined to follow You.

He’s already got the other ones.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…who search for it more than for hidden treasure.”
(Job 3:21)

Because of His excruciating suffering, Jesus

Job longed for death.
He didn’t want to feel His overwhelming pain anymore.

If he had only known the reason for his agony –

that You were so proud of Him
that You bragged about him to Satan!

That You were about to take away his pain
and bless him beyond measure.

That was the treasure hidden from him.

What’s mine?

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who provides everything you need:

“…why go to Assyria to drink water from the River?”
(Jeremiah 2:18)

Great question, Jesus.

By turning to other gods, Your people broke Your heart.
How dare they turn to lifeless idols?

My guess is You’re asking the same question of me every time I sin

buying one of Satan’s lies.
How dare I drink from his foul, poisonous cesspool?

You are my Living Water.

So long as I drink deeply, daily from Your Spring
I will never thirst.
