Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Philemon 1:3)

When I live in the wonder of Your grace, Jesus

I experience Your peace.

So long as I believe I have to earn my way to heaven

there is no peace
because I know I’ll never be good enough.

But when I trust what You did for me on the cross

as payment in full for my sins

I’m filled with Your peace
that surpasses all understanding.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said: ‘Go, shut yourself inside your house. And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:24-25)

So much for the popular notion, Jesus

that those who follow You will never face problems!

But so long as You keep raising me to my feet, Holy Spirit

I’ll keep facing and overcoming each one.

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering dedication:

“Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for…”
(2 John 1:8)

I tend to think that once I have it, Jesus

it’s mine.

But You’re reminding me that I may have to work as hard to keep it

as I did to attain it.

Maybe harder – because now, I’m a target.
Satan wants to steal what You’ve provided.

But so long as I keep my eyes fixed on You

following You every step of the way

You’ll ensure that Satan comes up

empty-handed.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“I will overthrow chariots and their drivers…”
(Haggai 2:22)

I’m thinking of our modern chariots, Jesus –

Tanks, planes, Humvees…

It’s bad enough to crash or roll one of those…

and walk away.

So long as the driver survives…

he lives to fight another day.

But You’re saying a day will come

when You will not only destroy the vehicles
but the people inside them.

May that day come for the fierce enemies of Your people, LORD!

In Jesus’ Name!
