Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!’”
(Nehemiah 4:18-21)

 

Nehemiah knew what to let go of, Jesus

and what to keep close.

The trumpeter was key!

With so much at stake

No way was Nehemiah going to send him
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, ‘Wherever you turn, they will attack us.’ Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.”
(Nehemiah 4:12-13)

When I’m warned, Jesus

I have to respond.

But only You know whether the threat is real.

If it is, only You know the proper response.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God, you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites, neither the land along the course of the Jabbok nor that around the towns in the hills.”
(Deuteronomy 2:37)

You have all power, Jesus!

I can go wherever You tell me to go.

But may I never go to a place You’ve declared off limits.

If I try, Your power will leave me

and I’ll fail.

Pray this Lazaroo with an eagerly waiting heart:

“‘The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’ ‘How can this be?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘You are Israel’s teacher,’ said Jesus, ‘and do you not understand these things?’”
(John 3:8-10)

So much of Your Word, Jesus

I cannot understand on my own.

Teach me, Holy Spirit!

I long to see through Your eyes
and hear with ears You’ve opened!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.”
(James 3:3-4)

You’re talking about my tongue, Jesus.

It’s a tiny part of me

but because it’s like the bit in a horse’s mouth
or the rudder on a huge ship

I surrender my tongue to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Peter…an apostle to the Jews…”
(Galatians 2:8)

True, Peter’s primary ministry was to the Jews, Jesus…

but every now and then
You sent him to the Gentiles.

Certainly, You have a primary ministry for me, for which I am deeply grateful.

But every now and then

You send me somewhere else
to someone else.

When you do, may I never hesitate, object, or balk.

Help me be faithful to what You’ve said

but always sensitive
to what You’re saying.
