Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.”
(James 3:10-12)

I think You just nailed me, Jesus.

Do I praise You?

Yes. Absolutely.

Do I sometimes speak judgmental words of anger and disrespect?

Sadly, I do.

Looks like I’m due for some

spring cleaning.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?”
(James 3:9-11)

May my words always come from Your fresh water spring, Jesus!

You did not create my lips to spew salt water!

Keep me faithful to Your Word

as I store up Your truths within me.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul was able to say that about Your believers in Thessalonica, Jesus…

may You be able to say that through me!

Work through me and those I love and with whom I serve

to spread Your message rapidly!

May the good news of Your salvation be honored

and may many come to faith in You!

Get motivated! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Through us, You’re establishing Your kingdom, Jesus

and You don’t want us dragging our feet.

You want us on high alert.
Time’s a-wasting!

People are dying without hearing about You!
Others are on the fence, for lack of good information.

It’s my job to do something about that.

You’ve told me to go tell.
I’d better get with it.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went…”
(Nahum 2:11)

The lion and lioness need a den, Jesus –

a place to rest
to hide from their enemies
to call home.

And so do my precious brothers and sisters around the world.

But some of them are too poor.
Others are being attacked, fleeing for their lives.

O God!

Rescue them!
Don’t let the enemy overtake them.

I beg You.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.”
(1 Corinthians 3:1-2)

I long for you to address me

as someone who lives by Your Spirit, Jesus!

Please remove every shred of worldliness from me!

I long to be ready
for solid food.

Pray this Lazaroo in sweet recognition:

“But brothers and sisters…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:17)

What a great reminder, Jesus!

People worldwide who claim You as their Savior –
some of whom attend my church –

are not just Christians
not merely acquaintances
even friends.

They’re family –
my forever brothers and sisters.

If my dad is a Christian

he’s also my brother.

If my mom is a Christian

she’s also my sister.

If my biological brother or sister are Christians

they’re also…well…

better than a mere brother or sister!

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ…”
(James 2:1)

This is about as clear as You could possibly make it, Jesus:

If someone believes in You
they’re family.

They’re as much my brother and my sister

as though we shared the same biological mom and dad.

On second thought, they’re even more.

As good as natural parents can possibly be
none of them can match You.

My truest family

is the one that lasts
forever.
