Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.’ ‘I will do whatever you say,’ Ruth answered. So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.’”
(Ruth 3:4-6)

Naomi – the ultimate matchmaker, Jesus.

Worked out pretty well, too –
since Ruth became
Your many times removed great-grandmother.

Put me with the right people, Jesus!

so I and they

can become everything You’ve created us to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Jude 1:21)

We may have to wait a while for Your ultimate mercy to be revealed, Jesus

but we don’t have to wait long to experience Your mercy
in a thousand ways – small and large –
through the passage of our days.

You are so good to us!
You take care of Your own.
You watch over us like a mother with her newborn.

No…even better.

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

“Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
(Genesis 3:11)

You had just asked the ultimate rhetorical question, Jesus.

Obviously, You knew he had eaten from the tree you told him not to.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have bothered him to be without clothing.
Just as obviously, he knew You knew.

What do I do when You nail me off-base through Your Word?

Do I excuse myself…

…or confess and repent?

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“The reason I wrote you…”
(2 Corinthians 2:9)

There’s always a reason, isn’t there, Jesus?

Every person who does anything has a reason.
They may not admit it to anyone – perhaps not even to themselves –

but they always have a reason.

Still, the reason I do what I do and they do what they do

is not the ultimate reason for everything that takes place.

You Are the Prime Mover.
You make it – or permit it to – happen

or it doesn’t.
