Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.”
(Isaiah 5:5-6)

I never want to turn You into my enemy, Jesus!

Please keep me close to You.
Please – never let me stray.

I choose to stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You

forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

Thank You for this promise to the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus!

According to Your will, may we be that Church!

Make me increasingly, passionately faithful to You
during every remaining day You have ordained for me
on planet earth.

Awake! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, ‘We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!’”
(Isaiah 4:1)

Sin doesn’t end in triumph, Jesus

but in humiliation.

Satan packs all his pleasures into the first moments of my disobedience

then leaves me hurting, disgraced, bankrupt.

How many times do I have to see this outcome of temptation

before I reject it?

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“These were the descendants of Ehud, who were heads of families of those living in Geba and were deported to Manahath…”
(1 Chronicles 8:6)

The old rule of warfare, Jesus –

decapitate the enemy’s leaders
replace them with Your own leaders
to maintain control over the people.

But that never works against Your people

even when we’re invaded
even when it looks as though we’re completely conquered.

No matter who they take away

we always have our Powerful Leader:

You.

Open your heart in total trust, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He takes it from me!”
(Micah 2:4)

There may be things more terrifying, Jesus –

but right now I can’t think of any.

When You take something precious from me –

something I thought You’d given me for keeps

I’m utterly helpless.

How can I quarrel – and win – with You?

But when I get over the shock of my loss, I rest in this:

When You take it from me

You will either give it back
or give me something better.
