Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“The Lord their God…will restore their fortunes.”
(Zephaniah 2:7)

When things were going well for me, Jesus, I loved it.

I thought it was always going to be that way.

Then I discovered:

It wasn’t.

My sins caused some of it – maybe all of it.

But it might have simply been
that You needed me to fight some of Your battles.

If my suffering is caused by sin, I’ve got to repent!

Either way, I long to live once more

under the spout
where Your glory comes out!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.”
(Acts 3:1-2)

Peter and John thought they were there to pray, Jesus.

The lame man thought he was there to beg.

All three were about to discover:

You had a little something else in mind!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“See, I will make you small among the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:2)

That’s no threat to a small nation, Jesus.

It’s not much of a threat to one medium sized.

But if they thought it was the truth

if they knew Who was speaking –
the One Who can make good on His every Word –

that would scare the fire out of a big nation

like mine.

And given the increasing godlessness I see all around me

so it should.

Pray this Lazaroo in total awareness:

“King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up.”
(Daniel 3:1-2)

King Nebuchadnezzar got a bit full of himself, didn’t he, Jesus?

He thought he had made himself great.

He hadn’t.

As with every one of my accomplishments

it’s all You.

Pray this Lazaroo in respectful awe:

“So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

Paul longed to return to the believers in Thessalonica, Jesus

but Satan blocked him.

We don’t know how or why.

But You either let it happen or caused it to happen
because Satan can thwart no plan of Yours!

Was sending Timothy in his place second best?

No.

You’re Sovereign.

That was Your plan all along.

Trust God alone as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind…are these…”
(Daniel 2:28)

If somebody said that to me, Jesus

I’d be skeptical.

After all, my thoughts are private, known only to me.

Well…that’s not entirely true.
You know my every thought, vision and dream.

For somebody to tell them to me with 100%, detailed accuracy

they’d have to be directly in touch with You.

If that ever happens

I might want to listen to what else they have to say.

Pray this Lazaroo with focused attention:

“Give careful thought…”
(Haggai 2:18)

I do give careful thought to some things, Jesus.

But I confess that I’m on automatic pilot with others.

Give me wisdom!

On the one hand, I don’t want to take anything for granted.
On the other hand, I don’t want to obsess on the obvious.

Please don’t let me skip over something that requires deeper consideration!

Neither allow me to spend one precious moment on time-wasters.

I’m so glad I have You!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…though destroyers have laid them waste…”
(Nahum 2:13)

When I’ve been laid waste, Jesus

I’m tempted to think I’m done.

Without You perhaps that would be the case.

But with You, in You, through You, because of You –
I always have another chance.

And because of Your love, mercy and might

I’m not stuck with second-best!

You have a way of blessing me infinitely beyond

my highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes.
