Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her…”
(Esther 5:1-2)

Help me follow Esther’s example, Jesus.

Before You required her to break the rules and ask for an exception

she followed Your rules religiously

planting the good seed
one day
she would need to reap.

Stand strong! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace.”
(Daniel 3:19-20)

That had to be terrifying, Jesus!

They stood strong for You
and it was about to cost them their lives.

Satan set up this moment, confident they would back down.

But they didn’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’ And the Lord said to Samuel: ‘See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle.’”
(1 Samuel 3:10-11)

When You call, Jesus

I’m ready to listen.

Something tells me that whatever You have to say

will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord.”
(2 Chronicles 5:12-13)

You’ve given me gifts, too Jesus.

From the bottom of my heart:

Thank You!

May I work to fully develop them

to bring maximum glory to Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo humbled with gratitude:

“…as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the Lord and the priests came to the other side while the people watched. That day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him all the days of his life, just as they had stood in awe of Moses.”
(Joshua 4:11, 14)

When You give me a job, Jesus

You grant me the power – and when necessary –

the respect from others
required to achieve it.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Gehazi said, ‘She has no son, and her husband is old.’ Then Elisha said, ‘Call her.’ So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. ‘About this time next year,’ Elisha said, ‘you will hold a son in your arms.’ ‘No, my lord!’ she objected. ‘Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!’”
(2 Kings 4:14-16)

Some of us can’t believe how good You’re willing to be to us, Jesus!

But You’ve already given Your life for me.

Why wouldn’t You do amazing things for me…

and through me!

Go and do likewise, after you pray this Lazaroo!

“One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Call the Shunammite.’ So he called her, and she stood before him. Elisha said to him, ‘Tell her, “You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you?”’”
(2 Kings 4:11-13)

I love that Elisha did that, Jesus.

So do You.

You had prompted this Shunammite woman to be good to Elisha

so he wanted You to do something special for her!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.”
(Joshua 4:9)

What an awesome reminder of that miracle, Jesus!

We need reminders.

Because too often
we forget.

That usually happens

when we ask You for something that isn’t best
and don’t get it.

Maybe I need to set up some physical reminders

of the things You’ve done for me!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“…Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, ‘Stand up in front of everyone.’”
(Mark 3:1-3)

You didn’t hide the miracle You were about to perform, Jesus!

You stood against them boldly
in behalf of the hurting.

O God!

Rise up within me
as I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God…”
(2 John 1:9)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

I often wonder how in the world someone who

attended church
served in ministries
donated to causes
seemed to be a Christian brother or sister

could suddenly abandon everything they supposedly stood for.

Now I know:

They had religion
but they didn’t have You.
