Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the One who’s in charge:

“I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king’s successor. There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:15-16)

And that’s how it goes, doesn’t it, Jesus?

None of us is on top forever.
Some of us are on top

never.

People are fickle.
Times change.

But You never do!

I am so thankful that it’s not the crowd
that decides my fate.

It’s You!

Thank God, it’s You.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“The Lord said, ‘What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.’”
(Genesis 4:10-12)

What have I done, Jesus?

I deserve to be a restless wanderer…

but in Your stunning mercy to me through the cross

I rest in Your loving arms!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn recognition:

“His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.”
(Psalm 10:7-9)

The key to this description, Jesus?

“…like a lion…”

You’re the Lion of Judah.

Satan is trying to be like You

and spectacularly failing.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
(Romans 3:19-20)

Well, I’m certainly conscious of mine, Jesus.

My sins stare me in the face.
I live with their consequences.

But Hallelujah!

Through my faith in Your death and resurrection
I’m no longer under the law!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo in total repentance:

“Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.’”
(Romans 3:9-12)

This breaks my heart, Jesus!

I know it breaks Yours.

Somehow, someway…

through the infilling power of Your Holy Spirit
may this no longer be true of me.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.”
(1 Samuel 3:1)

My guess, Jesus?

Most of us can identify.

In these days, there aren’t many visions.
Some, yes. But not many.

The question is: Why?

It’s certainly not because You have nothing to say.

Could it be because You’re waiting for us to obey Your Word in its written form

before there’s any reason to tell us something else?

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Because he had nine hundred chariots fitted with iron and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the Lord for help. Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. She held court under the Palm of Deborah…and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided.”
(Judges 4:3-5)

Jabin’s army commander Sisera didn’t know it yet, Jesus

but his nine hundred iron chariots were like straw before You.

May I never forget:

The Power is with me
when I’m with You!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over…”
(Joshua 4:10)

It’s incredibly hard to stand still, Jesus –

especially when everybody else is hurrying past
under the shadow of a towering wall of water!

But may I move when You say move

and stay put when You so command.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble surrender:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.”
(1 Timothy 3:1,6)

This is good advice for overseers, Jesus.

It’s also an eye-opening insight into what happened with Satan.

You entrusted him with amazing gifts
but he deliberately ignored the fact

that You were the one
who gave them to him.
