Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”
(Micah 4:3)

What a promise, Jesus!

Certain, in the last days to come true.

Oh, not because there’s even a hint now that such a thing can happen

but because when You declare it
it’s as good as done.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.”
(1 Peter 2:11)

I can sense it, Jesus:

Whatever wrong I do with my body
harms my soul, my spirit, my 1on1 relationship with You.

So why do I cave in to these earthly temptations?

It’s because I fail to keep foremost in my mind
that this world is not my home.

Help me live like a citizen
of where I’m going to spend eternity!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

” to…Archippus our fellow soldier…”
(Philemon 1:2)

Paul knew, Jesus:

We’re in a war.

Right against wrong.
Good against evil.
God against Satan.

In a war, you’ve gotta have soldiers

and Paul was so grateful for Archippus!

Like Paul

I’m grateful for every soldier who understands this war
and comes alongside me in the fight.

Most wars are life and death –

small potatoes compared to this one –

which is eternal life and death.

With stakes this high

I need every fellow soldier You provide!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“When you come to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them to war, for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.”
(Deuteronomy 2:19)

Lot chose for himself what he thought was the best land, Jesus

leaving Abraham second-best.

His descendants were the offspring of incestual relations with his daughters

who took advantage of him when he was drunk.

And yet…You blessed them!

How great is Your love!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’”
(Deuteronomy 2:9)

Got it, Jesus.

You tell me who I can mess with and who I can’t.

If for any reason I think I can go it on my own

You make it clear I won’t succeed.

You’re the Boss.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7-8)

We want to focus on what we think are the positives, don’t we, Jesus?

But there’s a time for

tearing
silence
hate
war

The key is to look to You for our direction

at all times.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul.”
(2 Samuel 3:1,6)

Thank You for this reminder, Jesus!

Even while I’m enjoying Your favor
the enemy of my soul is plotting his next attack.

Keep me ever vigilant!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Joab…and David’s men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon.”
(2 Samuel 2:13)

This was a showdown, Jesus.

Mana a mano.
Shootout at the OK Corral.

Hundreds of brave, valiant soldiers were about to die.

Was there a better way to settle this?

Absolutely.

All they had to do was obey You.

But half of them wouldn’t
so the other half had no choice.

Give me the courage to fight

but always on Your side.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying hope:

“…nor will they train for war anymore.”
(Isaiah 2:4)

The best way to win a war is to train for it, Jesus.

So as long as the potential exists

for someone to go to war against me
or those for whom I’m responsible

I’d better train to fight it and win it.

That’s not how I prefer to spend my time.

But until You come and defeat all who desire to kill, steal and destroy

I’m left with no choice.
