Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
(Luke 1:78-79)

We don’t deserve it, Jesus!

But in Your tender mercy

cause your rising sun to shine down on us
as we desperately grope about in this land of darkness
battling the stench of death

…and guide us all the way Home.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God…”
(Luke 1:76-78)

When Zechariah spoke these words, Jesus

He was filled with the Spirit.

Through Him You were revealing that His son – John the Baptist –

had one overriding purpose:

“to prepare the way

for You.”

Pray this Lazaroo from your heart:

“If you have…any tenderness…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Oh, how I need tenderness, Jesus!

I don’t ask people for it very often.
I’m not sure why.

Maybe because I don’t want to appear weak and needy

but I am.

That’s the truth. I am.

Which is why I’m coming to You.

I can’t put up a front with You.
You know what’s inside me.

You know my fears, frustrations, failures

love me in spite of them

and are so, so tender.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…that those who love your name may rejoice in you.”
(Psalms 5:11)

I love Your Name, Jesus!

And oh, how I rejoice in You!

You’re guiding my every step.

You’re protecting me in all my ways.

Even when I make poor choices

You rescue me, pick me up
and set me once again on Your firm foundation.

You Are Tender, Forgiving, Loving, Merciful, All-Powerful. Helpful.

You’re my Best Friend.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are.”
(Ezekiel 3:8)

Some people wouldn’t call that Christian, Jesus.

They believe Your followers should always be
tender, loving and kind.

Most of the time they’re right.

But no one is as Christian as You Are!

You know I’m in a battle against the forces of evil.

When necessary…

You equip me to fight fire with fire.

And I am SO grateful

that Your fire is hotter than theirs.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the whole house of Israel is hardened…”
(Ezekiel 3:7)

How does a person get that way, Jesus?

Is it their response to disappointment?
Is it the byproduct of repeated sin?

I’m guessing this hardening is accompanied by cynicism.

That’s a form of unbelief, isn’t it?
maybe with some stubbornness mixed in.

Regardless, a hardened heart can’t be a good thing.

I don’t ever want to get that way, Father!

Keep me soft, tender, pliable, responsive
in Your loving hands.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone has caused grief…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

People don’t usually say something like this, Jesus

unless grief has been caused.

There’s seldom any “if” to it.

But for some, the word, “since” can be a little too strong.

Hence, the word, “if.”

Paul is trying to bring healing in the place of hurt

so with Your help, He’s choosing those words.

O God!

Give me Your words of healing
to share with those around me
who are hurting.
