Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…would not stop chasing him.”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

What am I chasing that I shouldn’t be, Jesus?

Help me stop!

I admit it:

Some of my goals may not be Yours.

If You show me which are the wrong ones, I’ll stop –
No matter how near and dear they’ve been to me for how long.

Show me!

But I know You’ve assigned specific tasks You wish to accomplish through me.

Show me!

So I can replace the wrong ones
with the right ones.

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led discernment:

“…according to their clans…”
(Numbers 3:39)

What’s my clan, Jesus?

My family of origin?
My circle of friends?
The people at work?
My neighbors?
My state?
My country?
My church?

Could I possibly have more than one clan?

Maybe…but why does any of that matter?

Well…because the people I’m with influence me, don’t they?

…and I them.

Show me who You want to make up my clan, Father!

…and help me leave every clan
injurious to my spiritual health.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I have found a man…who can tell the king what his dream means.”
(Daniel 2:25)

That would be quite a find, Jesus!

I suspect most of my dreams have little meaning –
my nighttime brain sorting things out –

though in that, I confess I may be mistaken!

But every once in a while, there’s a dream that’s somehow…different.

I know it means something
but I don’t know what.

When You give me one of those, LORD, please:

Reveal its meaning!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you…write them on the tablet of your heart.”
(Proverbs 3:3)

So, Jesus…

my heart has a tablet.

I know – not the kind of tablet sold in electronics stores

but a real tablet nonetheless

the kind that goes deep into my very being
forever changing my thoughts, words, behavior.

Show me how to write Your words on the tablet of my heart, Holy Spirit!

ensuring that I will mature, grow, understand
and honor You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…take on one of the young men…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

Asahel wanted to take down the enemy leader, Jesus –

a noble goal, to be sure –

but one he wasn’t equipped to accomplish.

Abner was older and slower…but more experienced.

Sadly, when Asahel refused to pick on someone his own age

it cost him his life.

Am I chasing anything I shouldn’t be, Father?

If so, show me!

I don’t want to waste Your precious gift of time

nor lose my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with a bucketful of gratitude:

“…we are God’s workmanship…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

O Jesus!

How can I ever complain about what I am?
I’m Your invention, Your craftsmanship!

Or is that craftsGodship?! 😉

David said it first:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Please forgive me for those times when I forget that.

Now, I beg You:

Show me why You’ve made me like this!
Reveal to me Your highest purpose

and enable me to fulfill it
to Your eternal glory.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I will surely raise my hand against them…”
(Zechariah 2:9)

Don’t want to ever hear that, Jesus!

Not as it pertains to me.

I need Your hand to

save me
comfort me
sustain me
strengthen me
guide me
protect me
show me
cover me
lift me
help me.

But dear God!

May Your hand never be raised against me.

Against my enemies, though?

Tempting.
But You’ve told me to pray for them.

Nah. Don’t.
Go ahead and bless them.

Pray this Lazaroo in unshakable faith:

“…the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32-33)

If only I could see you guiding me that clearly, Jesus!

When the cloud lifted, they knew it was time to break camp
then they followed the cloud You provided wherever it went.

When it stopped
so did they.

Right now I’m straining my eyes to get a glimpse of that cloud!

Please.
Show me.
