Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”
(Proverbs 3:5)

It’s impossible to trust You with all my heart, Jesus…

while leaning on my own understanding.

My understanding trips me up because it’s woefully incomplete.

I don’t have the whole picture.
My brain’s not that big.

One day in heaven I’ll be like You.
Maybe then I’ll see it for what it is.

But that day is not yet.

Help me trust!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“He has…lifted up the humble.”
(Luke 1:52)

You humble those who toot their own horns, Jesus

and honor those who don’t have a horn to toot.

You also honor the owners of many horns
who toot them not for themselves, but for You.

You own all the horns. You created all the people.

So long as I acknowledge those facts and live accordingly
I have every reason to trust that in Your good way and time

You’ll lift me up.

Stuff to check as you pray this Lazaroo:

“’What!’ exclaimed the king of Israel. ‘Has the Lord called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?’”
(2 Kings 3:10)

They had been marching through the desert for a week, Jesus. Now they were out of water.

Faced with this terrifying development
the King of Israel blames You.

Help me go to school:

1. Make sure I get my marching orders from You.

2. If I have, trust You to supply everything I need.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer.”
(Revelation 2:10)

That’s a tough command to obey, Jesus!

That word, “suffer” gets my attention.

For You to tell me not to be afraid of it is a challenge.

I don’t like to suffer.

That’s like telling me, “I’m about to hit you, but just relax.”

Not my strong suit.

But You’re encouraging me to trust You

because You’ll make sure
I’ll come out better on the other side.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given confidence:

“…filled with gladness…”
(Job 3:22)

There are lots of reasons to be filled with gladness, Jesus

but Job’s was pretty bleak.

He was so deeply depressed over the loss of his loved ones, his possessions and his health that he wanted to die.

He assumed when he did, he would be filled with gladness.

He had no clue this was happening

because You bragged about him to Satan!

Teach me to trust You

when life doesn’t make sense.

Pray this Lazaroo in stubborn faith:

“Teach the older men to be…sound…in endurance.”
(Titus 2:2)

By the time these men reach their advanced years, Jesus

You expect them to exhibit this amazing trait of endurance.

Of course, in many cases, that has to be taught

because none of likes what it means:

hardship, disappointment
waiting, waiting, waiting.

The only way to teach it or learn it

is to believe or discover
that when You promise it

in Your perfect way and time
You come through.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb…”
(1 Chronicles 6:56)

Some of us get the big cities, Jesus

others the fields and smaller towns.

You place each of us where – if we trust You with our whole hearts –

we can thrive.

Interestingly, one may be best for a season

and the other best in the next season of life.

I may have to learn these truths the hard way

but it’s worth the cost.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…disgrace will not overtake us.”
(Micah 2:6)

Those sound a lot like famous last words, Jesus.

None of us knows what the future holds.

In this case, they couldn’t have been more wrong.

Your prophets had warned them of the disaster that was coming
if they refused to change their ways and follow You.

But they were unwilling to listen.

No, I don’t know what my future holds.

But of this much I’m certain:

I know Who holds my future.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“How long must this go on?”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

Sometimes I’m stuck in what seems an intolerable situation, Jesus

which makes it feel like it will never end.

I cry out to You for relief, as though You don’t see and hear and feel.

But You do.

You don’t bring me to such places to hurt me.

You lovingly place me in them to teach me.

All I ask

is that You help me learn my lessons
really, really fast.

Pray this Lazaroo with a grateful heart:

“…the Lord will give you insight into all this.”
(2 Timothy 2:7)

I’m grateful for every insight You’ve given me, Jesus.

But to think there’s coming a day when You’ll give me insight

into all this?

Wow.

I believe You, but try though I might

my mind can’t fully take it in.

There are so many things I don’t understand

but there’s a perfect, satisfying answer

for now known only to You

which one day with me

You’ll share
