Pray this Lazaroo with immediate correction:

“All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not.”
(Joshua 5:4-5)

Why do I put off doing the right thing, Jesus?

Why don’t I instantly obey?

It’s a spirit of rebellion, isn’t it?

Disguising my disobedience behind:

“Yes, I’m going to do it…but not right now.”

Away with that ugly sin, LORD!

This very moment: I choose You!

Pray this Lazaroo with hyperfocus:

“Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace.’”
(Luke 2:27-29)

Simeon was there at that once-in-a-lifetime moment, Jesus

because the Spirit moved him to be there.

How many times have You moved me, Holy Spirit

and I missed a priceless moment
because I failed to respond?

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
(Matthew 5:3-6)

Who could make such promises – and then fulfill them, Jesus –

to the poor in spirit, those who mourn,
the meek, the hungry and thirsty?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.”
(Joel 2:29)

It’s happening, Jesus –

right before my very eyes.

I’m seeing men and women who are looking more and more like You!

They’re rising up, setting the pace
urging the rest of us to join them
in living our lives the way You had in mind

when with incomprehensible love
You laid down Your life for us on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate faith:

“…never again will my people be shamed. And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:27-28)

I long for the day when we will no longer be shamed, Jesus!

Pour out Your Spirit on all Your people!
Grant us holy dreams and visions!

Yes, we read Your Word and do our best to apply it to our lives.

But we’re so weary of wondering
if we got it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“It is written: ‘I believed; therefore I have spoken.’ Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.”
(2 Corinthians 4:13-14)

Be faith I say this, Jesus:

I have that same spirit of faith You placed in Paul.
The same You placed in Abraham, Moses, Elisha, Isaiah.

It’s You. All You.

As You did through them
perform Your full, holy, perfect will through me.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgement:

“‘Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’ This is what they will get in return for their pride…”
(Zephaniah 2:9-10)

Solomon said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Sadly, he experienced it.

So will I, unless I remember:
You are the Giver of my gifts.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“‘Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,’ declares the Lord.”
(Obadiah 1:4)

You said it, Jesus:

“Pride goes before destruction
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

I can testify!

You’ve had to drop me to my knees.
More than once.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Again and again and again
You’ve lifted me back up!

May I never forget:

The way to stay up
is to stay down.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”
(Ephesians 3:16-17)

It really does take a miracle to accomplish that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

Do I have a part?
Sure.

But try though I might, I can’t conjure up saving faith.

That kind of faith is a gift from You
straight from heaven.

That faith is mine!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
