Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…the fish…vomited Jonah onto dry land.”
(Jonah 2:10)

All these miracles, Jesus!

You send Jonah to preach to Ninevah.
When he hops a boat in the opposite direction, You create a storm.
When they throw him overboard, You send a fish to swallow him.
When he repents, You order the fish to spit him out –

not into the ocean, but onto dry land!

Thank You for reminding me how serious You are

when You send me to tell others about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“…and tell him…”
(John 1:41)

That’s what I’ve got to do, Jesus –

tell somebody about You.

The news is too good to keep to myself!

the consequence too great for those who don’t understand

or hear.

How dare I worship with Your saints, rejoicing in Your salvation

without thought for those who’ve never heard Your Name?

O God!

Help me tell all those around me about Your salvation
and proclaim to the four corners of the earth:

Jesus saves!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed devotion:

“Instead, he went out and began to talk freely…”
(Mark 1:45)

You healed this man, Jesus –

strongly warning him to tell no one
knowing it would increase the Jews animosity.

But he couldn’t shut up!

He was too astonished and thrilled to keep quiet.

Interesting.

When You save us You strongly urge us
to tell everyone about You.

But when You provide me an opening to do so

how much of the time am I too timid to take it?

Pray this Lazaroo, unashamed:

“The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon…”
(John 1:41)

What an example, Jesus.

Andrew finds You…but doesn’t keep it to himself.

I’ve found You, too.

But the excitement of first discovery
too often gives way to taking it for granted.

I’m so used to the 1on1 relationship with You I enjoy each day

that I may not be telling as many people about You
as desperately need to hear.

Open my eyes!

and my mouth.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“But if you tell what we are doing…”
(Joshua 2:20)

It’s a scary thing to be at the mercy of what someone else knows, Jesus!

All they have to do is speak
and I’m done.

That’s the dilemma I’m in with You.

You know too much about me.

All the more terrifying

because You’re Prosecutor, Witness and Judge.

My only hope is my faith in what You did for me on the cross

which makes You

my Ultimate Defender.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.”
(Malachi 2:7)

What a privilege, Jesus!

…and what an awesome responsibility.

To be one whose job it is to share Your truth with others

is a glorious, fearsome calling.

Once that was the task You assigned to Your priests, Your prophets

but today…on this side of the cross…

no longer just them.

That glad pleasure…that terrifying mission…

has been given to every one
of those who by faith follow You

including me.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…light dwells with him.”
(Daniel 2:22)

Knowing that makes things so simple, Jesus!

If I need to shed a little light on some problem

I need to hang out with You

because You’re where light hangs out.

Of course, the more I hang out with You

the less I’ll choose to live in darkness.

The only good reason I can think of to return to that sad, depressing gloom

is to point them to You
and Your amazing light.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.”
(John 1:37)

Would you please use me in that way, Jesus – 

so when I talk to others about You
they decide to trust You as their Savior?

I don’t possess such words…

because it takes infinitely more than words!

It takes You, moving on their hearts

calling them
drawing them to Yourself.

But in Your wisdom, You’ve chosen to use ordinary people to accomplish that extraordinary thing.

Use me.
