Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”
(Ephesians 3:16-17)

It really does take a miracle to accomplish that, doesn’t it, Jesus?

Do I have a part?
Sure.

But try though I might, I can’t conjure up saving faith.

That kind of faith is a gift from You
straight from heaven.

That faith is mine!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.”
(Ephesians 3:13)

It’s hard not to be discouraged by suffering, Jesus

especially when it’s happening to me, personally.

But that wasn’t why Paul was suffering.

He was suffering for others!

O God.

Grow me up in my faith.
Give me Paul’s compassion for others!

Correction: That’s not Paul’s compassion.

That kind of compassion
comes straight from You

proven 2,000 years ago
on the cross.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.”
(3 John 1:11)

Okay, Jesus.

I’m absolutely done with evil!

Show me the good You want me to imitate.

There are the awesome examples in Your Word.
The Bible’s chock full of them!

Then there are the Godly people walking this earth.
May I be inspired by those You’ve placed in my life!

It would be pretty cool

if one day I could be that kind of example to others.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.”
(Nehemiah 4:6)

That’s the key to real progress, isn’t it, Jesus?

To work with all our hearts.

And not just one or two of us.
All of us.

It’s rare, though.

Why is it that only some of us serve You with that kind of passion?

What we need is all-out revival!
Will You bring that to pass in our lifetimes?

Revive us again!

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel. Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, now that Ehud was dead. So the Lord sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.”
(Judges 3:31-4:2)

You keep supplying Your people with helpers, Jesus.

They keep repaying Your kindness by disobeying You.

There are consequences for that kind of behavior –
consequences I don’t want to reap.

Take notes, as you pray this Lazaroo::

“Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’ Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.”
(Matthew 4:10-11)

You’re teaching me how to successfully battle the devil, Jesus:

1. Tell him to get away.
2. Quote the Word to him.
3. Make it clear that I will serve no one but You.

That kind of encounter with the enemy of my soul can be exhausting.

But when needed

You’ll send Your angels to attend me!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel…”
(Haggai 1:1)

I would love to experience that kind of specificity, Jesus

when You give a message to me.

Not that I deserve it.
I don’t.

But oh, would it be nice!

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out
exactly how to apply Your Word

which…come to think of it…
is exactly what You intend.
