Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

I need some of that strength, Jesus.

Right now.

Did I say, “some” of that strength?

Make that “a lot” of Your strength!

There are times when Satan’s attacks are relentless

day after day after day.

Without You, I’d never make it.

With You – in Your Strength –

I know I will!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the One who’s in charge:

“I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:15-16)

And that’s how it goes, doesn’t it, Jesus?

None of us is on top forever.
Some of us are on top

never.

People are fickle.
Times change.

But You never do!

I am so thankful that it’s not the crowd
that decides my fate.

It’s You!

Thank God, it’s You.

Pray this Lazaroo in confident desperation:

“His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength. He says to himself, ‘God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.’ Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.”
(Psalm 10:10-12)

There are times when I feel helpless, Jesus.

This is one of them.

But I’m not helpless, am I?

Not so long as I have You.

And that’s a long time!

Because You’ve promised never to leave me nor forsake me.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep longing:

“I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink.”
(2 John 1:12)

Of course, John didn’t have available what we do, Jesus.

He didn’t have a cell phone.
He didn’t have email or text.
He didn’t have social media, Face Time or Zoom.

No doubt He would have used the living daylights out of those tools!

But something tells me there would still be times for him

as there are today

when nothing but face-to-face will do.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…the anointing you received from him remains in you…”
(1 John 2:27)

That is so comforting, Jesus!

so good to know.

When I sin – which I sadly confess is way too often –

Satan tries to make me afraid that I’ve lost what I had with You.

That’s a terrifying thought.

But it’s not true!

You’ve promised to never leave me nor forsake me.

And though I’ve let You down countless times

I will never turn my back on You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts. Therefore the prudent keep quiet in such times, for the times are evil.”
(Amos 5:12-13)

When the courts are corrupt, Jesus

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

When the courts are righteous

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

In good times and bad

in hard times and pleasant
in sickness and in health
in happiness and sorrow

to whom can we turn?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple, profound trust:

“Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.”
(Psalm 10:1-3)

In a heartbeat, Jesus

You could stop every evil person
from saying or doing anything wrong.

which would make us all nothing more than robots.

Instead, You’ve chosen to give us the freedom to choose You

or reject You.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
(Psalm 9:7-10)

You’re my Refuge, Jesus!

My Stronghold!

I know Your Name, JEHOVAH RAPHA!

You will not forsake us

for we seek You with all our hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.”
(Joshua 4:6-7)

O Jesus!

Help me build into the fabric of my life
memorials to the wonderful times

when You intervened in my life!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast love:

“Jesus answered him, ‘It is also written: ”‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”’”
(Matthew 4:7)

You were battling Satan at the beginning of Your public ministry, Jesus.

He tried to get You to jump off the temple
to prove You’re the Son of God.

You’ve proved that over and over again!

But not in that foolish way.

I have no right to demand anything from You.

You’ve already proved Yourself to me and the world

times beyond counting.
