Pray this Lazaroo with eyes of wisdom:

“…they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”
(Proverbs 4:16-18)

What a contrast, Jesus!

The life of the wicked

vs.

The life of the righteous.

I choose Your sun-drenched path, Father!

Lead me in every good and perfect way!

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it.”
(Habakkuk 2:19)

Is anything more important to me than You, Jesus?

If so, that’s an idol.

The thing is

I can claim You’re most important in my life

while putting someone or something
ahead of You.

If I’m lying to myself about this, please show me!

‘cause You smash idols.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Pray this Lazaroo in dumfounded awe:

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.”
(Zechariah 4:1)

Up to now, Jesus, the angel had been speaking to Zechariah at night, in a vision.

But no longer.

As if to underscore the reality of all You sent him to tell the prophet

the angel he had seen in his vision
woke him up…

and there he was!
visible to the naked eye
in the same room with Zechariah.

Wow.

You can do anything, LORD.

Absolutely anything.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God…”
(2 John 1:9)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

I often wonder how in the world someone who

attended church
served in ministries
donated to causes
seemed to be a Christian brother or sister

could suddenly abandon everything they supposedly stood for.

Now I know:

They had religion
but they didn’t have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“…the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and he died. The kingdom was now established in Solomon’s hands.”
(1 Kings 2:46)

As politically incorrect as it is to say it, Jesus

if there is to be peace

sometimes someone has to

leave
be kicked out
or die.

Whenever possible, You want us to work things out with each other.

But some people are nothing but hell on earth

until the day they draw their last, divisive breath.

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

“In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

That’s a tall order, Jesus!

It’s one thing to teach with integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech

but quite another thing to do all that in a way
that’s impossible to condemn.

There’s always someone out there eager to condemn.

but with Your help and protection

I’ll do my best!

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition.”
(Ezra 4:18-19)

They found what they looked for, Jesus.

If I’m looking for something bad in someone

I’ll probably find it.

If I’m looking for something good in the same person

there it will be.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude:

“What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well…You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”
(Exodus 4:14-16)

When I can’t do what You’ve told me to do, Jesus

You always provide someone –

or something –

to help me.
