Pray this Lazaroo with deep desire:

“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

I need to pray that prayer over those I love, Jesus!

Some of them desperately need You to encourage their hearts.

I would love for someone to pray that prayer over me, too.

You know what’s going on in my heart.
You know how much I need Your encouragement!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…Ehud had made a double-edged sword…which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man. After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it.”
(Judges 3:16-19)

Eglon never would have trusted Ehud, Jesus

If he had known what was coming next.

I have no idea who’s carrying a sword to use on me

or on those I love, Holy Spirit

but You do.

I beg You:

Protect us!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles…”
(Jonah 3:7)

That’s what kings do, don’t they, Jesus?

They issue decrees.
They make sweeping statements that become the laws of the land.

They rely on a cadre of experts who advise them
or rubber stamp whatever they say.

I’m no such king.

I’ve never issued a decree –
at least not one anyone paid much attention to.

But I do have one request:

Direct the decrees of people in power
who affect the lives of those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. ‘He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.’”
(Ruth 2:20)

No, You haven’t, Jesus –

nor will You ever!

Because the so-called righteous “dead”
are alive in heaven with You!

What a thrill it will be for me one day in heaven

when I am by Your side
looking down in grateful amazement
on the unending stream of blessings
You are showering on those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”
(Philemon 1:25)

When my spirit is low, Jesus

it affects everything I think, say and do.

It dramatically and negatively affects

all the people who come
into contact with me
including those I love and need the most.

But when I realize I’m the recipient of Your loving, unmerited grace

my spirits begin to lift!
I have hope!

which in turn raises the spirits
of everyone around me.

Cry out to God for protection, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.”
(Esther 3:8)

Haman was plotting to destroy Your chosen people, Jesus!

Please deliver Your Church and those I love
from those whose hearts Satan has filled
with the same evil intent!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

Well, no, Jesus.

If unwise, it doesn’t have to be done that way.

Does it usually happen the way Solomon describes it? Yes.

But is that necessarily bad? No.

One of the joys of life is working hard

so I can pass the fruit of my labors on to those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…refresh my heart in Christ.”
(Philemon 1:20)

There are a lot of ways I might try to get refreshed, Jesus:

take a shower.
down a delicious glass of iced tea.
experience the luxury of a good night’s sleep.

But nothing in this world compares

to the refreshment of my heart in You!

You fill me with spiritual energy

higher purpose
boundless hope.

To see You at work in my life and in the lives of those I love?

Priceless.

Stay on the edge of your seat as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘We have found the Messiah’ (that is, the Christ).”
(John 1:41)

Did they find You, Jesus…

…or did you find them?

Maybe You helped them find You

because they were looking for You.

That’s who I want to be!

Constantly watching for You, listening for You
eyes wide open, antennae all the way up
hanging on Your every Word.

I don’t want to miss a thing You’re doing

in this world
for those I love
in, through and for me.
