Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit…”
(Colossians 2:5)

A lot of people use this verse to justify why they didn’t show up, Jesus.

They say “I can’t come, but I’ll be with you in spirit.”
Then they promptly put those people out of their minds.

But not Paul.

He truly connected with those he couldn’t be with.
He cared for them, prayed for them, identified with them.

Heavenly Father!
May I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done. The Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.’”
(Deuteronomy 2:30-31)

When You’re ready to do something, Jesus

You don’t have to wait for a person to cooperate.
You can make them do it.

Great God!

I’m cooperating!

Make me what You want me to be!

Beg God for a clean heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution; Israel is corrupt. Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the Lord.”
(Hosea 5:3-4)

The thing is, Jesus

You know exactly what’s going on inside each of us.

When it’s good
You reward us.

When it’s diabolical
You respond accordingly.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“…we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”
(2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1)

Keep the transformation coming, Jesus.

I have such a long way to go!

But I trust You. I believe in You. I know You Are God and I know You are Good.

I will not lose heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”
(Romans 2:28-29)

Wow.

You’re saying I’m not a Jew because my parents were Jews.

I’m a Jew

because I believe in You, Jesus –

the King of the Jews
the Root and Offspring of David.

Pray this Lazaroo with deepened, determined understanding:

“…was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”
(James 2:25-26)

I have faith in You, Jesus. I do.

Because that’s true
my actions will show it.

But if there is no behavior to back up my faith

the reality of my faith
can be called into question.

Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing gratitude for nine precious God-ordained, Word-of-God honoring years!

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12)

Your Word, Jesus! Your Word!

It’s the Lamp for my feet
the Light for my pathway.

Teach me through Your Word!

Fill me with Your Word!

May I daily hide Your Word in my heart

that I might not sin against You!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17)

Most nonbelievers think Christianity is a boatload of rules, Jesus.

They would be stunned to read this verse.

Frankly, so am I.

Oh, not because I don’t believe it.
I do!

But because I’ve not been fully living in the freedom
You so lovingly purchased for me by Your sacrifice on the cross.

Help me live moment-by-moment in Your Spirit
through the power of Your Word!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.”
(Luke 1:80)

Just like John the Baptist, Jesus

I want to grow in You!
I want to become strong in spirit!

In short, I want to become everything You’ve created me to be!

But that means I have to deliberately carve out time to do what he did

and get away for Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in soul-searching recognition:

“Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?”
(Galatians 3:3)

When You put it that way, Jesus

it really does sound foolish.

And now that You mention it

that may be what I’m doing –
at least some of the time.

One part of me knows I can’t earn heaven by the good things I do

but there’s another part that still keeps trying.

No.
It’s You.
Not me.

All You.
