Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…there is no end to their treasures.”
(Isaiah 2:7)

At least that’s how it seems, Jesus.

Some of the world’s worst people
seem to have more than their share of the best.

While some of the world’s best people
seem to experience more than their share of the worst.

But the operative word is:

“seems.”

What seems a certain way to me

is seldom – if ever – the case.

You alone know what’s really going on.

And I trust You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“But if you tell…we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”
(Joshua 2:20)

Sounds like they didn’t trust each other, Jesus.

But how could they?
They had just met.

Sometimes that’s the reason I don’t trust somebody:

I don’t yet know them well enough.

Of course, there’s a reason I don’t trust other people:

I know them all too well!

But You I trust with my life.

You’ve proven Yourself –
over and over and over again.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.”
(Revelation 2:5)

I do want you to come to me, Jesus

but not for that reason!

So I repent –

of all the evil thoughts I’ve entertained
of all the unkind words I’ve spoken
of all the things I’ve done that did not honor You

knowing that repentance is not mere words.

It’s action –

changing course
doing a 180

from this moment forward.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“If he…owes you anything, charge it to me.”
(Philemon 1:18)

Is there anything more loving than this, Jesus?

Well, yes, I guess there is:
Your death on the cross!

But still…this one’s right up there.

It’s signing a blank check in behalf of another person.

Not only does that show love for the person
but it demonstrates significant trust in the creditor.

May more and more of my relationships

be marked by this kind of love and trust!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…she won his favor and approval…”
(Esther 2:17)

There’s no doubt about it, Jesus –

Esther was beautiful.
Beautiful people win favor and approval more easily than others.

But that’s not why this king was so attracted to her.

You made it happen.

You positioned her in the crucially important role

You designed her to carry out.

If I’m obedient, You’ll grant me the favor and approval I need

to carry out every task and role You’ve designed for me.

Beg God for His strength, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name and have not grown weary.”
(Revelation 2:3)

You’ll never say those words to me, Jesus.

Oh, maybe the perseverance part.
Through it all…I’m still here.

And the part about enduring hardships?
Yup. I’ve seen a few.

But that part about not growing weary?

I flunk.

Some days I catch myself whining and complaining about what’s going on

forgetting that You
are what’s going on.

Forgive me, Father!

Think again…as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32)

Unthinkable, Jesus!

You created the heavens and earth
parted the Red Sea.

You were born to a virgin
healed the sick, cast out demons

In love, You gave Your life for me on the cross
rose from the dead

so then, like a spoiled child who doesn’t always get his way because he doesn’t begin to know what’s best for him

I don’t trust You with this?

Unthinkable.
