Pray this Lazaroo with immediate correction:

“All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not.”
(Joshua 5:4-5)

Why do I put off doing the right thing, Jesus?

Why don’t I instantly obey?

It’s a spirit of rebellion, isn’t it?

Disguising my disobedience behind:

“Yes, I’m going to do it…but not right now.”

Away with that ugly sin, LORD!

This very moment: I choose You!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
(John 3:14-15)

Anyone bitten by those venomous snakes in the wilderness, Jesus

had only to look at the bronze snake on Moses’ pole

and they lived.

They lived because they believed what You told them

just as I will live because I believe what You’ve told me.

Pray this Lazaroo in awe:

“Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: “Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.”’ Pharaoh said, ‘Who is the Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord and I will not let Israel go.’”
(Exodus 5:1-2)

Pharaoh would have been wise to learn Who You Are, Jesus

before disobeying You.

But since he did not

You proceeded to introduce Yourself.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.”
(Luke 1:80)

Just like John the Baptist, Jesus

I want to grow in You!
I want to become strong in spirit!

In short, I want to become everything You’ve created me to be!

But that means I have to deliberately carve out time to do what he did

and get away for Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt gratitude:

“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
(Matthew 4:1-3)

This was Your plan, Jesus –

to be tempted by Satan to show me that he attacks when I’m weak

and so that when I cry out to You

You can answer:

“I know.”

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir.”
(Deuteronomy 2:7-8)

Thank You, Jesus, for watching over my journey through my own vast wilderness.

And yes…

from time to time

it’s been necessary to move on

past some of my relatives! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in awed anticipation:

“Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant? Look! It is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel, all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.”
(Song of Songs 3:6-8)

What an amazing sight, Jesus!

But a far better one is coming

when I follow You on Your great white horse

into end-time battle!

(Joel 2:13)

O Jesus!

Yes!

I never want to stray, never want to sin, never want to disappoint You.

But when I do –

for sadly, I have many times –

don’t let me stay out there in the wilderness!

Bring back this wandering sheep to You!

For You are indeed loving, gracious, compassionate!

You would far rather bless me

than punish.
