Pray this Lazaroo with mounting anticipation:

“Next to him, Shemaiah son of Shekaniah, the guard at the East Gate, made repairs.”
(Nehemiah 3:29)

Shemaiah already had one job, Jesus –

and it wasn’t a “nothing” job.

Guarding the East Gate is a huge responsibility!

So is guarding any of Your Jerusalem gates.

But the East Gate is the one
through which You’ll enter Jerusalem
when You return to earth for Your Church!

If Shemaiah can carry out two crucial jobs for You simultaneously

So can I.

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

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled.”
(Titus 2:6)

Of course, all of us need to be self-controlled, Jesus

not just young men

but also young women, older women, older men.

Perhaps that’s because it’s harder for a young man to learn…

not to mention so very important.

I love the word, “encourage,” though!

Not simply a gruff command

but using words that explain
offer helpful examples
give incentive
inspire hope

letting these young men know:

They can do this!

…and so can I.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled concern:

“…even Barnabas was led astray.”
(Galatians 2:13)

Oh, no, Jesus.

Not Barnabas!

Not the one who lived up to the meaning of his name:

“son of Encouragement.”

Not the one who convinced the others to accept Paul

through whom You preached and blessed so many

who was willing to disagree with Paul
in order to give quiiter-Mark a second chance.

Dear God.

If he can be led astray, so can I.

But I beg You:

Don’t let that happen!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“They also repaired five hundred yards of the wall…”
(Nehemiah 3:13)

Five football fields, Jesus – more than a quarter of a mile…

…of wall!

No small feat.

But of course, that word, “repaired” means

that much of the wall was broken down.
Talk about discouraging. Overwhelming!

Then there’s that other word: “also.”

That tells me this wasn’t the only task staring them in the face.

But working in Your strength, power and protection, they did it!

So can I.

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.
