Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.”
(Jonah 4:1)

There are a lot of things going on right now, Jesus

that seem very wrong to me.

Am I going to be like Jonah?

Am I going to be angry about it
shake my fist in Your face

and charge You with wrongdoing?

Even worse

am I going to lose faith
conclude You no longer intervene
in the affairs of earth?

NO!

I put all my trust in You!

Seek correction, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the Lord has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them.”
(Jeremiah 2:36-37)

Egypt and Assyria are not my problem, Jesus.

But you see. You know.
Is there anything or anyone I’m trusting instead of You?

If so, show me!
I hereby reject them

and fully, wholeheartedly, irrevocably embrace You!

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.

Consider carefully, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Ephraim mourned for them many days, and his relatives came to comfort him. Then he made love to his wife again, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. He named him Beriah, because there had been misfortune in his family.”
(1 Chronicles 7:22-23)

Ephraim was lost in grief, Jesus.

Even after You gave him a son in place of those who died
he rhymed his name with “misfortune.”

When I’m dealt a huge blow

please help me trust You
and move on!

Pray this Lazaroo in peace-filled trust:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”
(Philippians 2:3)

This is so opposite of the world I live in, Jesus.

What an opportunity in this darkness
to allow Your Light to shine!

It begins with total trust in You, doesn’t it?

If I know You’re taking care of me every step of the way
I’m freed from thinking about myself all the time

and able to focus on blessing others.

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 from the depths of your being:

“…to escape the clutches of ruin!”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

That’s certainly what I desire, Jesus!

Disappointments, losses, hard times and setbacks are one thing.
Ruin…hangs around a little longer.

However: Anyone who foolishly attempts to escape the clutches of ruin in their own strength

is cursed, marked, doomed to failure –

not only on this earth
but eternally.

There is only one way to escape the clutches of utter, total, permanent ruin:

Trust in You.
Trust in You.
Trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in healing trust:

“You suffered from your own countrymen…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

That’s the worst, Jesus!

Not attack from a stranger
betrayal from someone I thought was a friend.

I guess I’m kind of slow on the draw.

I never see it coming.

Maybe that’s because of how good You Are to me!

I know as I walk in deep, daily, moment-by-moment
1on1 relationship with You

You’ve got my back.

That frees me to relax!

trusting not in them
but in You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…from Jesus Christ…”
(2 John 1:3)

I’ll take anything that comes from You, Jesus!

Anything.

You do all things well. Make that: perfectly.

You’re generous beyond all measure.
You’re the Giver of every good gift.

I know.

That includes some things I won’t like.
At the time.

But I trust You!

I know that anything You do to me or require of me that is hard, distasteful or even heartbreaking

is not only for Your good
but for mine.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“He walked with me in peace…”
(Malachi 2:6)

May that be said of me, Jesus

now…

and after I depart –

when my time on earth is through.

Can that be said of me?

On my good days, yes.

But there are still too many days of my life that I surrender to

doubt
fear
worry
turmoil
unrest.

My fault. Not Yours.

You’ve promised to keep me in perfect peace

if I will keep my mind steadfast
trusting You.
