Wednesday, December 2, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit:

“They declared a fast…”
(Jonah 3:5)

These days, Jesus

people seldom declare a fast
unless their serious.

We go without food only when we want something really badly

or when we’ve had the living tar scared out of us.

That was pretty much what happened to the Ninevites

after Jonah showed up and warned them
that You were going to destroy their city in 40 days.

May I always remember:

Because they got serious and got serious fast

You relented.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“They climb into the houses…”
(Joel 2:9)

Okay, Jesus…

now I’m scared.

So long as I can keep my enemies outside

though I’m alarmed by what they’re trying to do
I still feel as though I can repel their attack.

But when my enemies find a way to worm their way inside

fear grips my stomach
my heart pounds in alarm.

I beg You!

Always keep my enemies distant.

Never let them enter the place
where I lay my head.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…he was afraid to go there.”
(Matthew 2:22)

You haven’t given me a spirit of fear, Jesus –

but a spirit of power, love, self-discipline.

There’s no place You send me

that I need fear.

But there are places You forbid me to go.

I’d blessed well better be scared to go there!

How can I expect You to protect me

when I blatantly disobey?

Lead me in Your way everlasting, Father!

And keep my britches
out of the ditches.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The spears of pine are brandished.”
(Nahum 2:3)

Aren’t spears supposed to be made of metal, Jesus?

It would be scary to go into battle with a pine spear
against an army of people carrying iron spears.

Still…with Your help, blessing and protection

a pine spear is all I need.

Help me to trust You to provide victory

through the weapons, tools, materials
education, location, people

You’ve given me.

Not by might, not by power…

but by Your Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s what I have to know, Jesus –

that You’ll be with me.

I’m aware that’s backwards.

I’m the one who’s supposed to be following You.

And I am.
Imperfectly.

Which is why I need reassurance
when I mess up.

Because it’s when I’m outnumbered, overwhelmed, flat-out scared

that I have to be confident You’ll never leave me alone.

But that’s the secret, isn’t it?

You’re with me
when I’m with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with opened eyes:

“I came to you…with much trembling.”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

This is the Apostle Paul talking, Jesus!

The man through whom You’ve given us
much of the New Testament.

The man through whom You healed sick people
and raised the dead.

The man who was stoned and left for dead
but got up.

The man who was bitten by a poisonous snake
and shook it off with no ill effects.

If there were times when he trembled

so can I.
