Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“‘Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.’ So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished.”
(Ezra 5:15-16)

How many of the assignments You’ve given me

remain unfinished, Jesus?

That’s unacceptable.

In Your strength, favor and blessing –

before You call me Home –

it is my desire to complete every one!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

I need some of that strength, Jesus.

Right now.

Did I say, “some” of that strength?

Make that “a lot” of Your strength!

There are times when Satan’s attacks are relentless

day after day after day.

Without You, I’d never make it.

With You – in Your Strength –

I know I will!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears?”
(Malachi 3:2)

In Your strength, Jesus

It is the passionate desire and firm intention
of my mind, will and heart

to stand for You
come what may.

Of course, that raises a humbling, terrifying question:

If I’m not obeying You in everything now
who am I to believe I will stand for You then?

Pray this Lazaroo in confident desperation:

“His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. He says to himself, ‘God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.’ Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.”
(Psalm 10:10-12)

There are times when I feel helpless, Jesus.

This is one of them.

But I’m not helpless, am I?

Not so long as I have You.

And that’s a long time!

Because You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, ‘The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.’ Also our enemies said, ‘Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.’”
(Nehemiah 4:10-11)

Lies, Jesus. All lies.

That’s who Satan is:

a liar.

May I never allow the false words of my friends or enemies

to hinder my service to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with thanksgiving:

“I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.”
(Ephesians 3:14-15)

It all comes from You, Jesus!

No matter what we call ourselves

we will always be Your creation.

No matter how much we accomplish

it will always be with Your strength.

No matter how many good days we enjoy on this earth

You are the Giver of every one.

May I always remember…

and may my heart continually be filled with gratitude.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
(Revelation 3:8)

When You’re the one who opens the door, Jesus

no one can shut it in my face.

Even when my strength wanes

may I always keep Your Word
and glorify Your Name.

So long as that’s true of me

may You keep opening doors.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age, and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.”
(1 Samuel 2:31-32)

Eli honored his sinning sons over You, Jesus.

Bad mistake.

You’ve commanded me to care for my family

but never if it dishonors You.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“You have wearied the Lord with your words.”
(Malachi 2:17)

I don’t want to do that to You, Jesus!

In fact, I didn’t think I could.
I didn’t think You ever grew tired or weary.

But You don’t become weary from the mighty miracles You perform.

What wearies You is when I don’t do
what I say I’ll do.

You’re sick to death of empty words.

O God! Forgive me!

May I always – in Your strength –
keep my word to You.
