Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“The tempter came to him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’ Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’”
(Matthew 3:3-4)

That’s how to deal with Satan’s temptations, isn’t it, Jesus?

Quote Your Word to him
then don’t budge an inch.

Of course, I have to instantly be ready with Your Word

the moment temptation comes.

Maybe I’d better do a little more homework.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
(Matthew 4:1-3)

This was Your plan, Jesus –

to be tempted by Satan to show me that he attacks when I’m weak

and so that when I cry out to You

You can answer:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent trust:

“As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house…”
(1 Peter 2:4)

Others may have rejected You, Jesus…

but not I!

You’re my All…my Everything – the Ever-Living Stone!

You’re precious not only to Your heavenly Father
but precious beyond all measure to me.

Make me into the perfect living stone for my place

in Your spiritual house.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“’You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones.’ The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.”
(2 Kings 3:19-20)

That didn’t make sense, Jesus!

Water? They hadn’t asked for water!

But water was exactly what they needed.

Like I, so often…

they just didn’t know it.

Let realization dawn, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The stones of the wall will cry out…”
(Habakkuk 2:11)

I’m guessing this is poetic language, Jesus

though if anyone can get stones to talk
and understand their language

it’s You!

Still…I’ve entered places for the first time

and felt something I couldn’t define.

Each home, each building has a certain feel, doesn’t it?

Maybe its stones, bricks, plaster, shiplap
are crying out!

If the walls of my home could talk, Father

what would they say about me?

Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.
