Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ‘All this I will give you,’ he said, ‘if you will bow down and worship me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’”
(Matthew 4:8-10)

Satan threw his best at You, Jesus

and every time You answered with Scripture.

What an example You’ve set for me:

For every Satanic attack
Your Word is the answer.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“He has hurled down the splendor of Israel from heaven to earth…”
(Lamentations 2:1)

Yes, You did, Jesus.

And what a terrible thing it was to behold!

For one shining moment in time

Israel was the envy of every nation on earth.

But she sinned. Turned away from You to other gods

and no God.

Still…You love her!

For the sake of Your servant David, a man after Your own heart
You promised to restore her!

Even now…it’s beginning to happen.

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw-dropping amazement:

“…the splendor of his majesty!”
(Isaiah 2:10)

Everywhere I look, Jesus

I stand in awe
at the splendor of Your majesty!

When I look into Your sky in the morning and see Your clouds racing by

I marvel at their beauty.

When I look into that same sky at night and glimpse innumerable stars

I’m filled with wonder.

When I’m captured by the miracle of a newborn baby

I can’t help but be stunned
by Your incomparable love.

Cling to the promise of God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…though destroyers…have ruined their vines.”
(Nahum 2:3)

It takes years for a grapevine to mature to the point where it produces truly great grapes, Jesus.

The grape grower invests hours in pruning and training the vine
so it pours all its lifeforce into creating great-tasting grapes
rather than growing big and bushy with stems and leaves.

O God!

Is that what You’re doing with me?

Please.
Whatever it takes.
Restore my splendor.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel…”
(Nahum 2:2)

Well, now, Jesus…

that’s some serious splendor.

There was a day when Israel was the greatest nation on earth

envied by all who trembled in her shadow.

No longer.

Her sins have reduced her to a mere wisp
of what she used to be

as will my sins do to me

unless I forsake them, repent
and return with all my heart to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in mounting expectation:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…”
(Nahum 2:2)

This is such awesome news, Jesus!

There was a day when Your people – descendants of Jacob –

were the greatest nation on earth.

Then they turned their backs on you and followed after other gods

forcing You to remove Your hand of blessing from them.

But another day is coming, when Israel will recognize You as their Messiah

as I do now

in anticipation of the Day of Your Splendor.
