Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him…”
(3 John 1:12)

It’s nice to hear how good someone is, Jesus

even better to discover it firsthand.

Just wondering…

what’s my reputation?
what do people experience with me firsthand?

I hope they speak well of me!

But whether they do or don’t

all that really matters is what You think of me.

Correction:

Not “think.”

Know.

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 with bottomless trust:

“Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?”
(John 3:11-12)

This had to be so frustrating for You, Jesus!

You spoke the truth.
They refused to believe.

There is so much more You’re willing to show us

if only we will accept
what You’ve already revealed.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Take your stand on His Promise, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.”
(Galatians 3:15-16)

You, Jesus. You!

Our English translation makes that distinction easy to miss
but Paul’s explanation clears it up.

The promise is to You

and to all who put their hope in You:

past, present and future.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken. All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.”
(Micah 4:4-5)

Hasten the day, Jesus!

I believe You.
I know in my heart this day will come.

So I’ll do my part to bring it about:

I will walk in Your Name, LORD God
for ever and ever!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”
(James 3:6)

I don’t like to think of my tongue like this, Jesus!

But I wonder how many people have felt the fires of hell

from some of the harsh, judgmental, evil words
I have spoken over my lifetime.

May it never again be so!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them…”
(Titus 2:9)

That had to be hard, Jesus!

Many slave masters tend to issue their orders
with disrespect, belittling, disdain.

I’ve been spoken to like that myself.

When that happens, everything in me
wants to respond in kind.

How could they – how can I –

not talk back under those circumstances?

Only You, dear LORD!
Only You!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Moses said…‘I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.’ The Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?’”
(Exodus 4:10-11)

Please forgive me, Jesus

for all the times I’ve pulled out that same lame excuse

and told You why I couldn’t do what You’ve told me to do.
