Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”
(Hosea 6:3)

I cannot tell You how desperately I need Your sun to appear, Jesus!

I long to have You come to me like the winter rains!
I’ve got to have Your spring rains water my parched earth!

Rescue me.
Please.

Rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?”
(James 3:9-11)

May my words always come from Your fresh water spring, Jesus!

You did not create my lips to spew salt water!

Keep me faithful to Your Word

as I store up Your truths within me.

Be filled with joy, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil. ‘I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten…my great army that I sent among you.’”
(Joel 2:24-25)

I cling to this promise, Jesus!

I know it was made to the people of Judah.

But it’s also Who You Are!

I rest in the certain knowledge

that You always treat me better
than my sins deserve.

Pray this Lazaroo in supernatural awareness:

“You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.”
(Song of Songs 4:12-14)

Solomon had a way with words, Jesus

and no wonder:

You’re the one who gave them to him!

Please give me the words I need to

bless
encourage
uplift
strengthen

those You’ve placed in my life!

Pray this Lazaroo with wiser eyes:

“…all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves. Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:4-6)

So there’s a balance, isn’t there, Jesus?

Work to accomplish what You’ve called me to do
not to keep up with someone else.

But even so, You want me to work –
and not make others do my job.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been ravished? By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, sat like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen.”
(Jeremiah 3:2-3)

You liken Your people to a brazen prostitute, Jesus

making it clear how You view our continual sins.

O God!

Keep me pure before You –

in my thoughts, words and deeds.

Pray this Lazaroo to the God who provides everything you need:

“…why go to Assyria to drink water from the River?”
(Jeremiah 2:18)

Great question, Jesus.

By turning to other gods, Your people broke Your heart.
How dare they turn to lifeless idols?

My guess is You’re asking the same question of me every time I sin

buying one of Satan’s lies.
How dare I drink from his foul, poisonous cesspool?

You are my Living Water.

So long as I drink deeply, daily from Your Spring
I will never thirst.
