Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“I write to you…”
(1 John 2:12)

John wrote to them, Jesus

and 2000 years later
he’s writing to me.

It’s as fresh to me in the 21st Century
as it was to them in the first.

That’s exactly the way You designed it

because what John wrote is Your Word
and Your Word is eternal

transformative not only for those living 6,000 years ago

or in the first century

but also for me –

and all who come after.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep assurance:

“… prophets, though human, spoke from God…”
(2 Peter 1:21)

It doesn’t get much more amazing, Jesus –

that instead of doing everything Yourself
You work through people
like me.

The fact is, You’d do a much better job without us

but You love us!

You want to see us grow and develop into Your likeness

which requires some serious work on our part
and Yours. 😉

How patient You have to be!

Thank You so much
for including me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“So they went and saw where he was staying…”
(John 1:39)

That’s what I’d like to see, Jesus –

where You’re staying –

’cause that’s where I want to be.

It wasn’t in a castle.

You weren’t surrounded by wealth and privilege
at least not that the naked eye could see.

You went where You were needed

and still do.

Yes, You’re omnipresent – everywhere at once.

But I beg You!

Show me where You want to release Your power
through me.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you will worship God on this mountain.”
(Exodus 3:12)

You love to do this, don’t You, Jesus?

to turn a place of humiliating defeat
into a site of glorious triumph!

You met Moses at Mount Horeb where he was tending someone else’s sheep

informed him that he would return to this mountain

with three million people in tow
to hear Your voice and receive Your law.

O Father!

What will You do here one day

in this place
through me?

Pray this Lazaroo in fiery dedication:

“Listen, all you peoples…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s quite an opening line, Jesus.

Jeremiah isn’t merely speaking to a group of his friends.
He isn’t limiting his remarks to those under the hearing of his voice.
He doesn’t aim his words at the nation of Israel alone.

Instead, he sends this message to everyone on earth

not only to those living in his day
but to all people of all time

including me.

Why?

They’re not his words.
They’re Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They laid its beams…”
(Nehemiah 3:6)

There they were, Jesus…

repairing the Jeshanah Gate of Jerusalem.

When they laid those beams, they weren’t done.

There was a lot of work left to do.

Just as they were, I’m presented with a choice:

I can focus on the size of the huge task ahead of me
and become discouraged

Or I can be filled with thanksgiving for what You’ve accomplished through me

and be invigorated to get back to work.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple trust:

“God…was also at work in my ministry…”
(Galatians 2:8)

It’s so easy to look at what You’re doing through someone else, Jesus…

and not be able to see what You’re doing through me.

Forgive me!

It’s a miracle in and of itself
that You’re willing to work with me at all.

Wouldn’t it be wild to find out that while I’m enviously staring at them

they’re shaking their heads in wonder
at the amazing things You’re accomplishing through me?
