Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: ‘Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?’ On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’”
(Mark 2:16-17)

So if I don’t recognize that I’m a sick sinner, Jesus…

You didn’t come for me.

Oh, but I am!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.”
(1 Samuel 2:17)

We no longer make burnt offerings to You, Jesus.

Today, we give You tithes and offerings.
We offer our services of time and talent to Your Church.

We show love to You by our gifts to the poor
to those who are sick, suffering, grieving.

Let no one treat these precious offerings with contempt!

Pray this Lazaroo with a full heart:

“I hope to be restored to you…”
(Philemon 1:22)

That’s so good, Jesus.

Paul isn’t focused on restoration for his own sake.

His desire is to be restored to his friend and fellow worker.

He knows Philemon has been praying for that very thing.

When I’m down sick or unavailable

who needs my restoration?

Help me get my focus off of myself

and onto You for Your wisdom and strength
so I can be a blessing to others.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…if you continue in your faith…not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.”
(Colossians 1:23)

“I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.”

Powerful, Jesus.

When I pray for something that hasn’t happened.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

When I lose my job.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

When my doctor diagnoses me with an incurable illness.

I’m unmoved from the hope held out in the gospel.

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…the upright will live in the land…”
(Proverbs 2:21)

The “upright” You’re talking about

is a little bit more than merely standing erect, isn’t it, Jesus?

In fact, a person hurting and sick while flat on their back

can remain upright before You.

The posture You most value is uprightness of heart, spirit, mind.

When my inside is right
the outside of me follows.

So when my behavior’s not right

the place I need to correct
is inside.
