Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, ‘The boy has not awakened.’ When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch.”
(2 Kings 4:31-32)

That’s how some of my lifelong desires appear, Jesus:

dead.

But You’re the Giver of Life!

Just as You raised this dead boy to life

You can raise to life every one of my dreams

that are in keeping with Your will.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Elisha said to Gehazi, ‘Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.’ But the child’s mother said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.’ So he got up and followed her.”
(2 Kings 4:29-30)

This Shunammite woman knew who had it, Jesus…

and who didn’t.

Help me know the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.”
(2 Chronicles 5:10)

At one time, Jesus, the gold jar of manna and Aaron’s staff that had budded were inside the ark.

You don’t tell us why or how these precious items disappeared.

If I’m missing something in our relationship that used to be precious

restore it, dear LORD!
I beg You!

Pray this Lazaroo – overwhelmed with gratitude:

“Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand. The Lord said to Moses, ‘When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do.’”
(Exodus 4:20-21)

You not only sent Moses on a mission, Jesus

but You equipped him with everything he needed to succeed –

just as You’ve done for me.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate devotion:

“Moses answered, ‘What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, “The Lord did not appear to you”?’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied. The Lord said, ‘Throw it on the ground.’ Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.”
(Exodus 4:1-3)

First You had to make Moses believe, didn’t You, Jesus?

You’ve done that for me, too!

Now it’s my job to share my faith with others.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing confidence:

“…I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.”
(Exodus 3:20)

Mind-blowing, Jesus.

Before you turned Moses’ staff into a snake, then back into a staff
before you turned his hand leprous, then healed

before the plagues of blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock deaths, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, firstborn deaths…

You orchestrated exactly how it was going to play out…

as You are doing with me.
