Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“I asked the angel, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand…these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?’ He replied, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ ‘No, my lord,’ I said. So he said, ‘These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.’”
(Zechariah 4:11-14)

Like Zechariah, Jesus

there’s so much I don’t understand.

But I trust You!

No matter what.

Pray this Lazaroo with full confidence in God:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:17-18)

I know You can do it, Jesus.

I just don’t know if You will do it!

But this much I know:

You’ll do what’s best.

And I’ll trust You no matter which.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”
(Malachi 3:1)

You gave this revelation to Malachi, Jesus –

more than 400 years before it was fulfilled
in your cousin John the Baptist.

Your Way. Your Time.

Always perfect.

My way. My time.

Usually flawed!

May I always remember how much You know

and how little I know

how much You see
how little I see.

So when You do it differently than I would

on a different schedule

Help me trust You

completely.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people…”
(1 Peter 2:8-9)

I hardly know what to do with this, Jesus.

To think that some people are destined to reject You
seems so unfair.

But to think that You chose and destined me to accept You?
That’s awesome!

Bottom line?

I trust You!
Your ways are far superior to mine.

And I am beyond grateful

to be included in Your wholly undeserved, unfathomable love!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…you see something dreadful and are afraid. Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth, deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’? Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.’”
(Job 6:21-24)

Job had no clue that You were proving his greatness to Satan, Jesus.

Help me trust You, LORD!

even when to me
what’s happening makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me. Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for, that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!”
(Job 6:4, 8-9)

Some people claim You don’t do such things, Jesus.

But Job knew better.
He lived it.

Help me trust You!

even when to me

it makes no sense.

Be energized, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“When the news reached the king of Ninevah…”
(Jonah 3:6)

For the average person

it’s almost impossible to get a message to a big country’s leader, Jesus.

Even if it affects a huge number of people

telling them what they need to hear seems hopeless.

But it isn’t!

Not for You!

If the message on my heart for that leader comes from You

show me how to send it in the most effective way!

I’ll trust You to deliver it.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…I looked for him but did not find him.”
(Song of Songs 3:2)

Frustrating, Jesus!

When there’s somebody I need to see
somebody I want to spend time with
somebody with whom I need to talk things through 

it’s truly upsetting not to know where they are.

But I’ve got to trust You, don’t I?

to show me if I need to look harder
or if the time to find them

hasn’t yet arrived.

Maybe what I really need

is to look to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:12)

So, Jesus:

You’re telling me that people who have only the spirit of the world
can’t understand what You’ve freely given those who trust You.

That makes sense.

It also explains the blank stares I get from those tied to this world

when I tell them about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
(1 John 2:17)

Well, sign me up for Your will, Jesus!

I’ve come to the place where I don’t trust my will.
The only will I trust is Yours.

I don’t know enough to tell You which way I want to go.

As a matter of fact, I no longer care where I go
so long as I go where You want me to go.

Your will. Your way.

Always and forever!
