Pray this Lazaroo buttressed by faith:

“This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

That’s wild, Jesus.

They were exiles in the very land You had promised them.

Everybody looked at them like outsiders, intruders

not knowing they were looking down on people
to whom they would one day look up

not realizing these trespassers
would one day become the land’s owners.

I can identify.

Today I walk this land as a foreigner

but my Dad owns it all
and I’m Your heir.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.”
(John 1:43)

Where do You want to go today, Jesus?

‘Cause wherever that is
I’m with You.

Sometimes it’s fun.

Sometimes it’s not.

Depending on where You decide to take me, on any given day it can be

thrilling…terrifying
teaching…tiring
terrific…taxing.

But regardless of my emotions, it doesn’t matter

because there’s nowhere I’d rather be
than with You.

Every single day…all along the way…

I’m sticking to You like glue.

Pray this Lazaroo with yearning:

“But go, show yourself…”
(Mark 1:44)

You were telling this man whose leprosy You had just healed, Jesus

to go show himself to the priest
so he’d be allowed back in normal society.

But that’s what every one of us You’ve touched should do.

We should go show ourselves
to anyone who’ll look.

They need to see what You can do for them

if they will open themselves to You.

Like Moses after being with You

make me radiant!

Pray this Lazaroo in unvarnished self-awarness:

“…mercy…from God…”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s absolutely where mercy comes from, Jesus –

You.

The closer I get to You
the more time I spend with You

the more merciful I become.

The less time I spend with You
the greater the distance that develops between You and me

the more I care about

punishment
vengeance
payback.

Odd, isn’t it?

That someone so in need of outrageously huge helpings of mercy
would have such a hard time offering it.

Pray this Lazaroo with unfathomable joy:

“…God raised us up with Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:6)

That past tense language gets my attention, Jesus.

I know that because I’ve put my faith in You alone
one day I’ll be raised up to heaven.

But that’s future.

At least…
I’ve thought it is.

But You’re talking about it like it’s already done.

Of course, since You know the future
to You it’s a done deal.

But it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Even now
I’m alive in You.
