Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2)

That seems an obvious statement, Jesus.

Of course wicked and evil people don’t have faith!

Oh, wait a minute…

are You referring to those who only pretend to have faith
but in their hearts are wicked and evil

doing incalculable damage behind my back
while smiling to my face?

Yes, LORD.

Please.
I beg You:

Deliver me from them!

Pray this Lazaroo in heart-melting gratitude:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

That’s what I long for, Jesus!

with all my heart.

But how?

Seriously, how?

You know me.
You know what a mess I am.

If You wanted to

You could remind me of every sin I’ve ever committed.
What are they, now? In the billions?

But wait a minute!

Because I’ve put my faith in You
You’ve erased all my sins from Your record.

Wow.
That’s how.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Deliverers will go up…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Oh, how we need that to happen, Jesus!

Please! Bring it to pass!

Raise up deliverers for our entire world

for our nation
for our churches
for our families
for me.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Do You desire to use me as one of Your deliverers?

Will You call me to go up in behalf of others

even as others are going up in behalf of me?

Now, that is a surprise!

Pray this Lazaroo with, “Now, I get it!” faith:

“…God…has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come.”
(Daniel 2:28)

I know You’re always right, just and fair, Jesus!

So why did you show the future to a heathen king?
There are a whole lot of righteous people who don’t get a peek!

Hmmm.

Is it to demonstrate that everyone belongs to You –
the good, bad and ugly?

Oh. Wait a minute!

Through Daniel and this sketchy king
You’re revealing the future to all of us!

Pray this Lazaroo…overwhelmed:

“He will give strength to his king…”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

That’s a great promise, Jesus

I’m really happy for the kings You’ve chosen.
They certainly need Your strength.

If only I were a king!

Wait a minute…

I am!

You’ve elevated me way above my station.

You’ve made it clear: I will reign in Your kingdom!

Oh, not on my own.
In and through You.

You’ve promised:

If I endure, I’ll reign with You –

not temporarily –

but forever and ever.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy…”
(Galatians 2:13)

What weak, wishy-washy follower of Yours are you referring to, Jesus?

Oh, wait a minute. I stand corrected.

This was none other than Your chosen Apostle Peter!

the man who was crucified upside-down for his faith.

He was just having a bad day. So were the other Jews.

So have I.

You didn’t give up on Peter when he slipped into hypocrisy…

and you will never give up on me.
