Pray this Lazaroo in growing wisdom:

“…the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!’”
(Nehemiah 4:18-21)

 

Nehemiah knew what to let go of, Jesus

and what to keep close.

The trumpeter was key!

With so much at stake

No way was Nehemiah going to send him
to somebody else!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

But they weren’t lazy, Jesus!

They were obeying You!

May I always remember:

Even when I’m doing exactly what You desire
this can happen to me.

When others judge me harshly

should I quit obeying You?

No!
Never.

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

“…half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor…Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked.”
(Nehemiah 4:16-18)

Those are extreme measures Jesus

needed only when the threat level is high.

Because I’m sold out to You

the threat level from the enemy of my soul is always high.

Better strap on my sword of the Spirit
and suit up in the full armor of God!

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don’t reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Make the work harder for the people so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies.”
(Exodus 5:8-9)

Pharaoh was 100% wrong about their being lazy, Jesus.

He was wrong about their motivation, too.
They did intend to go sacrifice to You.

But his instincts were right about one thing:

Thanks to Your amazing power
They weren’t about to come back.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“The Lord said, ‘What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.’”
(Genesis 4:10-12)

What have I done, Jesus?

I deserve to be a restless wanderer…

but in Your stunning mercy to me through the cross

I rest in Your loving arms!

Pray this Lazaroo in Bold, Brave, Belief!

“’Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.’ When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.”
(Nehemiah 4:14-15)

They were outnumbered, Jesus.

Their enemies’ armies were powerful.

But You responded to their total faith in You with deliverance!

Fill me with such faith, Holy Spirit!
I need You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unwavering devotion:

“…the king of Egypt said, ‘Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people away from their labor? Get back to your work!’’…That same day Pharaoh gave this order: ‘You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw.”
(Exodus 5:4,6-7)

When I obey You, Jesus

sometimes things get worse.

At first.

But when I continue to obey You no matter what

the outcome is always more than worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting confidence:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’”
(Haggai 1:2)

That doesn’t sound like discernment, Jesus.

It sounds like laziness.

May I never put off doing Your will because it requires a lot of work!

And by the same token:

May I never put off doing Your will
because I realize my very best work won’t be enough!

May I always trust that Your All-Powerful Hand

will be able to accomplish what I cannot!

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.”
(2 John 1:10-11)

I’m no innocent bystander, am I, Jesus?

Even though  I claim to belong to You

while welcoming and befriending
buddying up and hanging out

with people who deny Your Name
with those who reject Your Word

I’m in the same boat with them

which is going to sink.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, ‘The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.’ Also our enemies said, ‘Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.’”
(Nehemiah 4:10-11)

Lies, Jesus. All lies.

That’s who Satan is:

a liar.

May I never allow the false words of my friends or enemies

to hinder my service to You!
