Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…you know that our testimony is true.”
(3 John 1:12)

That was John’s reputation, Jesus.

People knew they could trust him
no matter the circumstances.

As with all reputations
it has to be earned.

With everything in me

I long for that to be my reputation too!

But I know it doesn’t happen because I’ve told the truth most of the time.

I need to be a person who tells the truth all the time
even when it hurts.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.”
(Proverbs 5:3-6)

This is true of every temptation Satan offers, Jesus.

Help me always give him one, emphatic, nonnegotiable reply:

“NO!”

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Although it is true that I am a guardian-redeemer of our family, there is another who is more closely related than I.”
(Ruth 3:12)

Naomi had it all worked out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

Boaz would marry Ruth and give Naomi grandbabies.

Well, in fact, that’s exactly what happened!

Eventually.

But first, they had to face a huge, unexpected roadblock.

May I never fear the roadblocks Satan sets up in my life, Father.

Because nothing and nobody
can thwart Your Will!

Give careful thought to your ways, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Give careful thought to your ways.’”
(Haggai 1:5)

Well, if You say it, Jesus

I’d better do it.

That’s true of everything You say.

In fact, that’s the key to giving careful thought to my ways.

What have You told me to do that I’m not doing?
What have You told me to stop that I’m still doing?

Very humbling…

…this giving careful thought to my ways.

Pray this Lazaroo with discerning wisdom:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.”
(1 John 2:26-27)

It would be so easy to take this out of context, Jesus!

True, Your Holy Spirit is my teacher.

But John is warning them not to listen
to those trying to lead them astray.

The gift of teaching Your Word accurately

is still in effect today

and is needed more than ever!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
(Revelation 3:14-16)

In the day-to-day struggle, Jesus

it’s so easy to lose my passion.

No, I don’t forsake You. I never stop believing. My love doesn’t grow cold.

But if it’s not burning hot
that has to change.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with ironclad conviction:

“Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.”
(3 John 1:11)

I’m sure that’s true, Jesus.

But I haven’t seen You
and I’m determined not to do evil!

When Your disciple Thomas believed after He saw Your resurrected body

You told Him those would be blessed
who believe in You even though they haven’t seen You.

I haven’t seen You in person

but with countless others

I see You by faith!

That will be enough

until my faith becomes sight.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4)

That’s not true only of Paul, is it, Jesus?

If I remain faithfully obedient to You
trials are bound to come.

Since I follow in Your footsteps
they are my destiny.

But that’s all right!

I count myself blessed
to suffer for You.

And this I know:

You’ve promised me eternal rewards
that will make it all worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in total repentance:

“Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.’”
(Romans 3:9-12)

This breaks my heart, Jesus!

I know it breaks Yours.

Somehow, someway…

through the infilling power of Your Holy Spirit
may this no longer be true of me.
