Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ‘All this I will give you,’ he said, ‘if you will bow down and worship me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Away from me, Satan! For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’”
(Matthew 4:8-10)

Satan threw his best at You, Jesus

and every time You answered with Scripture.

What an example You’ve set for me:

For every Satanic attack
Your Word is the answer.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“To those who sold doves he said, ‘Get those out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!’ His disciples remembered that it is written: ‘Zeal for your house will consume me.’”
(John 2:16-17)

Does zeal for Your house consume me, Jesus?

It should.
I know it should.

I should care more about the place You have provided for me to worship

than I do about the house where I live.

You first.
Everything else second.

Always.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“He made a bronze altar…He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape…Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it. The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.”
(2 Chronicles 4:1-3)

These were huge objects for worship, Jesus!

The altar was 30’ wide and long, 15’ high.

The sea (a large, water reservoir)
was 7 ½’ in diameter and 45’ in circumference.

May I never skimp in my worship of You!

You deserve my all!
My very, very best.

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.”
(Proverbs 3:19-20)

You didn’t just fling a few planets, stars and galaxies out there, Jesus.

You didn’t give the earth a careless glance
leaving it to become whatever.

With great wisdom, knowledge and understanding

You created an incomparably vast, ever-expanding ecosystem
that drops our jaws in worshipful admiration.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god. As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove him from the tents of Jacob—even though he brings an offering to the Lord Almighty.”
(Malachi 2:11-12)

So much for trying to buy my way back into Your good graces, Jesus.

If I ever stoop that low, I’d do well to remember – while my head is still attached:

100% wholehearted repentance
is my only hope.

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…in answer to your prayers.”
(Philemon 1:22)

Answered prayer is a beautiful thing, Jesus!

It rewards my hope in You.
It draws the two of us together.
It further builds my faith
It gives me cause to praise You to others.

It brings me back to You
with gratitude, love, thanksgiving, worship

and more requests!

May I never overlook or ignore any prayer You’ve answered!

Show me, Holy Spirit!

So I will be prompted and re-prompted
to hold high Your Mighty Name!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“…had from the beginning.”
(2 John 1:5)

Some of Your commands came later, Jesus

but a handful were inserted deep in our hearts
right from the beginning.

It’s always been right to see what You’ve created

then bow in worship
in stunned awe

and give You thanks.

It’s always been wrong to murder the unborn and aged

no matter what some supreme court declares.

It’s always been right to love others

grateful for the love You continually show us.

Pray this Lazaroo in lavish worship:

“He adorned the temple with precious stones.”
(2 Chronicles 3:6)

As he oversaw the building of the temple

Solomon did his best to honor, worship and exalt you, Jesus.

That’s the desire of my heart!

I’m sure You enjoyed those precious stones, Father

but I have none to give.

What I’m offering You is the best of who I am and what You’ve given me.

Everything that is mine came from Your hand.

Back into Your hands they go.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”
(Exodus 3:15)

It’s not the only Name we call You, Jesus…Yeshua…Messiah…Savior…

Abba…Adonai…Creator…El Shaddai…Alpha and Omega…
Father…Son…Holy Spirit…LORD…God –

but it’s the one that says it all:

I AM.

You’re…Always.

Without beginning.
Without end.

No wonder I worship You!

No wonder I praise You for everything good
call on You when I’m in distress!

No wonder I desire deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You!

You ARE.
