Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The Lord said to Moses: ‘When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel. It is a guilt offering.’”
(Leviticus 5:14-15)

Even when I do wrong without knowing it

it’s still a sin, isn’t it, Jesus?

No excuses.

I need to confess it

and forsake it.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…’I will give ten thousand talents of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.’ So the king took his signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman…the enemy of the Jews. ‘Keep the money,’ the king said to Haman, ‘and do with the people as you please.’”
(Esther 3:9-11)

When Haman conspired against Your people, Jesus

he made a fatal mistake.

When the king bought in without doing his homework

he made one, too

Guide me, Holy Spirit!

I don’t want to make any fatal mistakes!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate commitment:

“King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love.”
(Song of Songs 3:9-10)

What was the costliest ingredient in Solomon’s carriage, Jesus?

It wasn’t the wood, silver, purple or gold, was it?

It was the love.

May the interior of my life – the heart of me – my very being!

always be inlaid with love.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Nineveh is like a pool whose water is draining away. ‘Stop! Stop!’ they cry, but no one turns back. Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures! She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts melt, knees give way, bodies tremble, every face grows pale.”
(Nahum 2:8-10)

You punish the wealthy and powerful, Jesus –

who after repeated warnings to repent
despise You and laugh in Your face.

May I never stray.

But if I do

help me repent!

Pray this Lazaroo filled with wonder:

“While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer.”
(Daniel 2:34-35)

Through Daniel, You were telling the king what he had dreamed, Jesus!

Only You. Only You. Only You.

O God.
I’m in awe!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.”
(Exodus 3:22)

You had a plan, Jesus.

You saw how ruthlessly the Egyptians treated your people.
So when the time came, You gave Your people a little payback.

I have no right to exact revenge on anyone.

But You do.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.”
(Daniel 2:31-33)

You told Daniel exactly what King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream, Jesus!

And no wonder.
You’re the one who gave the dream –

not for him alone
but also for us.

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

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.”
(Proverbs 3:13-16)

To find wisdom and understanding, Jesus…

I’d better be searching for it!

Always putting You and Your ways first

promises that every good thing will follow.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn assessment:

“Their land is full of silver and gold…”
(Isaiah 2:7)

But since when has that been enough, Jesus?

We work long hours for money and the things it will buy

then come to the end of the day

exhausted, empty, dissatisfied.

So we work even harder, longer

thinking the solution will be found in more

but it isn’t.

Sadly, only then do we stop, look around

and turn to You

the only one who can satisfy
my longing soul.
