Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Mordecai told him…the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther…and… instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy.”
(Esther 4:7-8)

When Satan attacks, Jesus

give me the wisdom and clarity of mind

to know exactly what to do

to defeat him and win the victory!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they allowed no one to cross over. At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace for eighty years.”
(Judges 3:28-30)

What an amazing victory, Jesus!

But the Israelites were not that superior to the Moabites.

It wasn’t them.
It was You.

Do I need to work on my skills and improve in every way possible?

Sure.

But to truly win?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.”
(Esther 4:1)

Mordecai felt exactly the way most of us would feel, Jesus

when confronted with horrific, disastrously unacceptable news.

He was right.

The threatened annihilation of all the Jews was catastrophic.

But He was also wrong.

Because You were about to turn this unthinkable situation
into stunning victory.

Help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to lose it over bad news.

Ask God to open your eyes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“’That’s blood!’ they said. ‘Those kings must have fought and slaughtered each other. Now to the plunder, Moab!’ But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and fought them until they fled. And the Israelites invaded the land and slaughtered the Moabites.”
(2 Kings 3:23-24)

The Moabites weren’t stupid, Jesus.

You’re the one who made them fall for that ruse.
You’re the one who gave Your people that stunning victory

…as You always are.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“…the Lord of peace himself…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

You Are That, Jesus:

My Peace!

You warned me that in this world I’d have trouble.

But then You comforted me with this promise:

“But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I need not be surprised when trouble comes.

You warned me it would.

But the good news is:

Trouble doesn’t have the power to rob me of Your peace!

“This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

Pray this Lazaroo in baffled amazement:

“So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

Talk about being unequally yoked, Jesus…

the king of Judah was honoring You
the king of Israel was not.

Still, You worked stunning miracles and gave this flawed partnership victory against their enemies on that day.

Why? Because it further advanced Your Plan of the Ages.

You’ll work through the worst of us and the best of us, won’t You?

…along with everybody in-between.

 Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul: 

“Meanwhile, Abner…had taken…”
(2 Samuel 2:8)

There’s always a “meanwhile,” isn’t there, Jesus?

No matter how many victories You give me

somebody isn’t pleased
was fervently hoping I’d lose

while Satan is always there
plotting to take back the ground I won.

It’s good to celebrate every victory, praising Your great Name

but I never want to take it to the point where I brag and gloat

because there’s always a “meanwhile”
lurking just around the corner.
