Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:14)

Well, it’s working, Jesus.

I fear You!

Not because I think You don’t love me.

I know You do.

It’s just that You Are so Awesome! So Powerful!

You’re Bigger than big, Wiser than wise.

I love that You and I are close – 1on1.

But Your attributes are so mind-boggling
that I can’t help but tremble in Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo with incentivized gratitude:

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”
(Proverbs 3:13, 17-18)

Some people think doing the wise thing is no fun, Jesus.

But that’s a lie, isn’t it?
Straight from the pits of hell.

Pleasantness
P
eace
Life
Blessing

Those sound awfully good to me!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…take on one of the young men…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

Asahel wanted to take down the enemy leader, Jesus –

a noble goal, to be sure –

but one he wasn’t equipped to accomplish.

Abner was older and slower…but more experienced.

Sadly, when Asahel refused to pick on someone his own age

it cost him his life.

Am I chasing anything I shouldn’t be, Father?

If so, show me!

I don’t want to waste Your precious gift of time

nor lose my life.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“Like the fool, the wise too must die!”
(Ecclesiastes 2:16)

Solomon’s right, Jesus.

But the death of the fool who says You don’t exist
is radically different from the death of the wise person

who knows You do –
and trusts You as Savior!

In fact, it’s the wise person who is most aware that death is coming.

Fools do their best to ignore their mortality
living each day for themselves, rather than for You.

Big…big…BIG mistake.

Be grateful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as Mordecai had told her to do…”
(Esther 2:20)

Blindly following the orders of another human being

can end up in tragedy, Jesus.

But not this time.

Esther was young, inexperienced.
Mordecai was not only older, but wise.

Moreover, Mordecai had only Esther’s best interests at heart.

In addition, he had proven himself to Esther –
taking her in and treating her like a daughter
when her parents died.

Most importantly – 

Mordecai knew and wholeheartedly followed You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was…desirable for gaining wisdom…”
(Genesis 3:6)

Most of us want to know more than we do, Jesus

at least about some things.

But that’s not what Satan was marketing to Eve.

He claimed that all she had to do was disobey God
to become wiser.

And she did.

Shortly after she and her husband were expelled from the garden
she learned that she’d have been wiser

to disobey Satan.
