Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the One who’s in charge:

“I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:15-16)

And that’s how it goes, doesn’t it, Jesus?

None of us is on top forever.
Some of us are on top

never.

People are fickle.
Times change.

But You never do!

I am so thankful that it’s not the crowd
that decides my fate.

It’s You!

Thank God, it’s You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Then Solomon said, ‘The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud’…”
(2 Chronicles 6:1)

I guess that’s something You told Solomon, Jesus

because that statement appears nowhere else in the Bible.

But I’m so thankful to hear it –

through every hard, torturous, dark cloud day I’m called to endure.

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

That means so much on my good days
but it means a thousand times more on the bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of gratitude:

“I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Thank You for reminding me to pray for the people I’m thankful for, Jesus.

Bless them richly for making such a difference in my life
and in the lives of so many others.

Cause others to be a blessing to them
as they are being a blessing to me.

Thank You, too, for reminding me to thank You for those on my prayer list

even if it’s only to give me
one more reason to talk with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in unbounded gratitude:

“…the priest…shall… burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord…In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest.’”
(Leviticus 5:12-13)

I’m so thankful that I don’t have to do this anymore, Jesus.

On the cross You gave Your life to become my sin offering.

I am wholly, completely, utterly forgiven!

Pray this Lazaroo with thanksgiving:

“They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.”
(Galatians 2:9)

How many times have I looked at the assignment You’ve given someone, Jesus

and thought, “I wish You had sent me there!”?

But how often have I looked at where You’ve sent someone else

and thought, “I’m so very glad that’s not me!”?

May I never second-guess Your calling, LORD!

You alone

know what You’ve put me on this earth to do.
