Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)

I need some of that strength, Jesus.

Right now.

Did I say, “some” of that strength?

Make that “a lot” of Your strength!

There are times when Satan’s attacks are relentless

day after day after day.

Without You, I’d never make it.

With You – in Your Strength –

I know I will!

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:1)

Oh, but Solomon was looking at the world

only under the sun, Jesus.
Viewing life without You.

You are the Comforter of the hurting, the downtrodden, the oppressed!

And You, dear LORD…oh, You, dear LORD!

are my Comforter.

Pray this Lazaroo with corrected vision:

“A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:24-25)

This is how far Solomon’s wisdom can take him, Jesus

limited to what he observes under the sun.

True, everything comes from Your hand!

But there is so much more that is better

than eating, drinking
and liking my work.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
(Proverbs 3:6)

I do acknowledge You, Jesus.

But that’s not what the verse says.

I’m to acknowledge You in all my ways.

Only then do You promise to make my paths straight.

To acknowledge You isn’t merely to give You lip service, either.

It’s to admit that You’re the only one who knows.

It’s to confess that I can’t truly fulfill my purpose on earth

without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a pure heart:

“…he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.”
(Luke 1:51)

Wow. Hidden pride.

Thank You for uncovering this one for me, Jesus.

Humble on the outside…

prideful on the inside.

Scuffing my toe in the dirt…aw, shucks…it wasn’t much…

while secretly thinking all the time: “I’m hot stuff!”

Seriously? I should know better. You sure do!

People may praise me for my accomplishments
but they’re not mine, are they?

They’re Yours.

Without You…I’m nothing.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“I heard you in the garden…”
(Genesis 3:10)

Adam had that 1on1 relationship with You, Jesus

and blew it.

He took it for granted, let Satan distract him, successfully tempt him

and lost it.

Now, for the first time in his life, he was hiding from You

didn’t want to talk.

So You pursued him!

Thank You for the countless times You’ve pursued me, LORD!
Sadly, I’ve experienced how scary, lonely and dangerous it is out there

without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the Israelites will live many days without king or prince…”
(Hosea 3:4)

At first, that may not have seemed like much of a threat, Jesus.

They had lived for more than a thousand years without either –
trusting Your prophets and judges to lead them.

Now, however, they had spent the last 300 years living under a king.

They were used to it.
Dependent on it.

Like I would be without You

they were leaderless…directionless.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!
