Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up…”
(Jude 1:20)

This isn’t a suggestion, is it, Jesus?

It’s a command.

Apparently, getting spiritually stronger

isn’t something that’s going to happen to me
while I lie back and wait.

I’ve got to hit the spiritual gym:

Studying your Word
Praying
Forsaking my sin
Attending church services
Serving
Sharing my faith

Salvation? That’s free.

All I have to do is believe.

But if I truly believe

I’ve got to get to work.

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 with bulldog faith:

“…and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
(Hosea 2:23)

Is there any greater joy, Jesus?

than to share You with a friend, neighbor,
family member, coworker, stranger

and discover You’ve used me to draw them to Yourself?

to have them unashamedly declare in grateful worship:

“You are my God!”?

No matter how pleasurable, meaningful or important

nothing holds greater weight
none has deeper significance

because eternal life in heaven
eternal suffering in hell

were hanging in the balance.

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.
