Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with joy!

“…she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, ‘Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.’ ‘Did I ask you for a son, my lord?’ she said. ‘Didn’t I tell you, “Don’t raise my hopes”?’”
(2 Kings 4:27-28)

You had worked a miracle for this woman, Jesus.

Now, she thought You had taken it away.

But it was only to set up everything

for an even greater miracle!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Barak said to her, ‘If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.’ ‘Certainly I will go with you,’ said Deborah. ‘But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.’”
(Judges 4:8-9)

Through Your prophet Deborah

You commanded Barak to battle Israel’s enemies.

But he was unwilling to go without Deborah.

May I always obey You LORD
regardless of who tags along.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep respect:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Say to the Israelites: “Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way and so is unfaithful to the Lord is guilty and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.”’”
(Numbers 5:5-7)

I’ve gotta believe, Jesus…

if we followed Your rule today

a lot fewer of us
would choose to wrong another.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

[The man:] “’You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.’ [The woman:] ‘Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.’”
(Song of Songs 4:15-16)

The man praises her, Jesus…

the woman responds in kind.

Give me Your words to brighten someone’s day!

And when they brighten mine
help me respond in kind.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes riveted on Jesus:

“In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet!”
(Ruth 3:8)

Ruth had broken protocol, Jesus.

It was not their custom to allow women in the threshing floor.

But Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi told her to do it

and as far as Ruth was concerned, that trumped their customs.

You honored it!
Naomi was right.

Give me the wisdom to know when to do what’s expected

and when You’ve called me
to take the road less traveled.

Go and do likewise, after you pray this Lazaroo!

“One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. He said to his servant Gehazi, ‘Call the Shunammite.’ So he called her, and she stood before him. Elisha said to him, ‘Tell her, “You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you?”’”
(2 Kings 4:11-13)

I love that Elisha did that, Jesus.

So do You.

You had prompted this Shunammite woman to be good to Elisha

so he wanted You to do something special for her!

Pray this Lazaroo in tender love:

“…also to Apphia our sister…”
(Philemon 1:2)

Who is this woman Apphia, Jesus?

Although she was obviously
someone of standing and influence
a key person in the church

Paul doesn’t say –

except to call her his sister.

Not his biological sister.
His sister because of their mutual faith in You.

For all of us who trust You as our LORD and Savior

are family –
brothers and sisters under You
our God and Father.

And one day in heaven…

I’ll get to meet my sister Apphia!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.”
(Genesis 3:20)

You gave Adam the privilege of naming every animal in the Garden of Eden, Jesus.

But when Adam named Eve
that was utterly, profoundly different.

He knew it.

So he named her in accordance
with what she would become.

Adam was the first man.
Eve was the first woman.

Adam knew every child born in the future
would come from them.

Who will experience New Birth, Father…

because of me?

Heed the warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?’…he answered…’This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!’”
(2 Samuel 3:7-8)

Yeah, Jesus.

I want to be certain that I have all the facts
before I accuse someone of wrongdoing.

If all I have is hearsay and circumstantial evidence
I’d better keep my mouth shut.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in.”
(Jeremiah 2:32-34)

How could I ever forget You, Jesus?

And yet when I repeatedly sin the same sins

that’s exactly what I’ve done.
