Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
(Philippians 3:13)

That’s what I’ve asked You to do, Jesus!

I don’t want anything but what You want.

By myself…

I don’t know enough
I don’t understand enough
I don’t love enough.

But You do!

You’ve saved my life.

Therefore I trust You with my life.

Did I say, “my” life?

No.

My life is Yours!
Forever and ever and ever.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“And the Lord God said, ‘The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden…”
(Genesis 3:22-23)

You want us to live forever, Jesus

but not on this earth.

The longer we live on this planet

the way it is

the more we understand why!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…Abraham ‘believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’ Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.”
(Galatians 3:6-7)

So far as I know, Jesus

I’m not a physical Jew.
I’m not directly descended from Abraham.

But those who are the true children of Abraham

are those whose faith is in You –
which makes Abraham my father!

while those who trace their physical lineage from Abraham

but don’t trust in You
are, in fact, illegitimate children.

Add this strategy to your toolbox, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”
(Ezra 4:3]

Their enemies didn’t get it, Jesus.

They couldn’t grasp
why Your people didn’t want their help to build the temple.

So the heads of Your families spoke their language –

answered them with a reason they could understand.

When I experience opposition from Your enemies

help me answer them with words supplied by You

that’ll stop them in their tracks.

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
Peace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.”
(Daniel 2:30)

You gave Daniel the ability to interpret dreams, Jesus.

That could have gone to his head.

But it didn’t.

He gave all the glory to You.

Though I’m no dream interpreter
that’s exactly what I intend to do!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:12)

So, Jesus:

You’re telling me that people who have only the spirit of the world
can’t understand what You’ve freely given those who trust You.

That makes sense.

It also explains the blank stares I get from those tied to this world

when I tell them about You.

Seek understanding, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind…”
(Zechariah 2:13)

There’s a time to talk, Jesus.

Solomon told us so.

But there’s also a time to hush up.

Solomon told us that, too.

Without question, on countless occasions

You invite me to speak to You – even call to You.

But there are times when I’d be wise to hold my tongue and just listen –

as on those occasions when I start to complain.

You know what You’re doing.
I don’t.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent, longing love:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

‘cause I sure can’t figure a whole lot of stuff out.

I can’t even figure myself out –
let alone other people and situations.

But it’s “the deep things of God” that I most long to understand!

I suspect that if I knew those

I’d be able to better understand what’s going on
everywhere else in the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with enlightened awareness:

“The LORD Almighty has a day in store…for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)…”
(Isaiah 2:12)

It’s easy to be envious of those who are being exalted, Jesus.

When we’re the ones being exalted
we rejoice at our good fortune.

But it’s not only bad people who will be humbled.

You’re saying every single person You’ve exalted
will also be humbled.

So when you lift me up, I need to understand:

Healthy humbling…

is on the way.
