Pray this Lazaroo in total dedication:

“With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!”
(2 Peter 2:14)

What are my eyes full of, Jesus?

If not adultery, what?

Even if it’s a different sin, the result is the same.

I’ll never stop sinning.

Only when my eyes are full of love for You and Your Word

pleasing You and serving Your people

will I be able to stop my sinning
and start laying up significant heavenly treasure.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’”
(John 3:3-4)

The New Life You grant to all who put their faith in You, Jesus

is a fresh, brand-new start
even more profound

than the miracle
of a baby’s first breath
on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“So Huram finished the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God…”
(2 Chronicles 4:11)

So many of us start, Jesus…

so few of us finish

and finish well.

Huram did more than start doing the work You gave him.

He finished it.

Help me not only start doing what You want me to do

when You want me to start it

but help me finish what You want me to do

when You want me to finish it.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“Give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid.”
(Haggai 2:18)

What a day that was, Jesus!

So much happiness, so much hope, so much rejoicing.

Times of beginning are glorious.

After all, most people never start!

Sadly, however, the rest of the story is this:

Far more people begin than finish.

I long to do both, Father!

A great start…all the way straight through to a great finish.

I’m in Your hands.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“So at that time King Joram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.”
(2 Kings 3:6)

King Joram was right to set out, Jesus

and You gave him the victory he sought.

However, people sometimes set out for the wrong reasons.

Because they don’t have Your help
they experience defeat.

It’s exciting to set out, Father!

but not unless I’m absolutely certain it’s what You want me to do.

Apart from Your favor

there is no victory.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Solomon began to build…”
(2 Chronicles 3:1)

I’ve begun a few things myself, Jesus

though I haven’t always finished.

It’s painful to start something, full of hope and promise

only to run into an obstacle
I’m not willing to pay the price to overcome.

That kind of shame and embarrassment

tempts me to not start anything
so I’ll never fail.

But that’s not true, is it?

The one failure bigger than failing to finish
is failing to try.
