Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.’”
(Micah 4:6-8)


You love us too much, don’t You, Jesus?

We deserve so much worse.
But You give us so much better.

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 catalytic dedication:

“In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem.”
(Isaiah 4:2-3)

You’re the Branch, Jesus –

the promised Messiah!

You came, You taught, You worked miracles

then gave Your life on the cross
that all who trust You will have eternal life!

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 an open heart:

‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
(Zechariah 3:10)

That is a day, Jesus! A very special day.

It’s one thing to have enough for my family, my friends and myself.

But it’s a new day
when I have enough to share with my neighbors
some of whom, perhaps, I hardly know.

You love generosity.

But there’s a reason for that:

Unimaginable Generosity is who You Are!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring’…”
(Haggai 2:23)

Why were You so pleased with this governor of Judah, Jesus?

It was because He had the courage to obey You!

He delivered Your warning to Your people
even though it was the last thing they wanted to hear.

He valued pleasing You
ahead of pleasing them.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.’ Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”
(Acts 2:40-42)

To this very day, Jesus…

those who’ve accepted Your message continue to be baptized.

May we, too, devote ourselves

to Your teaching
to fellowship
to the breaking of bread
and to prayer!

May God give you a wonderful Christmas, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
(Ezekiel 3:21)

Sometimes I get tired of warning people who don’t want to hear it, Jesus!

I become the bad guy.
It makes them angry.

But ultimately, it’s not about preserving my relationship with them, is it?

On that Day

my relationship with You
is the only one that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”
(Proverbs 3:5)

It’s impossible to trust You with all my heart, Jesus…

while leaning on my own understanding.

My understanding trips me up because it’s woefully incomplete.

I don’t have the whole picture.
My brain’s not that big.

One day in heaven I’ll be like You.
Maybe then I’ll see it for what it is.

But that day is not yet.

Help me trust!

Pray this Lazaroo from a heart full of praise:

“…the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Clearly, that day hasn’t arrived, Jesus –

though it’s long, long overdue.

On every day since anyone in heaven or earth existed

You should be the only one exalted.

Everything good that we think, say, have or do

comes from You.

I can’t control what others do or don’t do about that

but I am determined to exalt You alone
each and every day on earth
and throughout eternity.
