Pray this Lazaroo with desperate faith:

“…never again will my people be shamed. And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.”
(Joel 2:27-28)

I long for the day when we will no longer be shamed, Jesus!

Pour out Your Spirit on all Your people!
Grant us holy dreams and visions!

Yes, we read Your Word and do our best to apply it to our lives.

But we’re so weary of wondering
if we got it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord…and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: ‘a pair of doves or two young pigeons.’”
(Luke 2:22, 24)

Joseph and Mary did what they knew to do for You, Jesus.

Such small things.

But they were obedient to Your Word

leaving the outcome in Your Father’s Hands.

That’s all I can do

but I had better make sure I do it!

Watch it happen! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will leave you no prey on the earth.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

What happens to a carnivore when there’s no longer any prey, Jesus?

If they have nothing to kill

they can’t eat.

If they have nothing to eat

they’ll die.

You’re slow to anger, abounding in love.

But when Your patience is met by unrelenting, vicious behavior

You pronounce sentence.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

The young lions are the future, Jesus.

If You punish a nation by destroying the best of their youth
You doom that country to become increasingly weak

eventually to disappear

which is exactly what happened in 637

to the once great city of Nineveh.

O God!

I beg You: Spare our young lions!

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

“Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.”
(Esther 3:13)

How could such an evil thing happen, Jesus –

especially to Your chosen people?

It was because You were about to rescue them
and also destroy their enemies!

Help me to remember that

next time something evil shows up at my door.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother…”
(Philemon 1:1)

He was the great Apostle Paul, Jesus

but not one molecule of his body wanted to make it all about him.

He willingly shared his leadership with the young man Timothy

to encourage him and validate his ministry with others.

How can I do less?

Show me the younger people You’ve placed in my life

for that very purpose –

and may I be as generous with them

as You have been with me.

Accept the honor, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good…”
(Titus 2:6-7)

I can’t just tell them how to behave, can I, Jesus?

I’ve got to show them what it looks like.

Of course, it’s a whole lot easier to point the way
than to lead the way.

But that’s only fair.

Because it’s a lot harder for them to follow my advice
than to nod with an indulgent smile
pretending to agree.

Be grateful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…just as Mordecai had told her to do…”
(Esther 2:20)

Blindly following the orders of another human being

can end up in tragedy, Jesus.

But not this time.

Esther was young, inexperienced.
Mordecai was not only older, but wise.

Moreover, Mordecai had only Esther’s best interests at heart.

In addition, he had proven himself to Esther –
taking her in and treating her like a daughter
when her parents died.

Most importantly – 

Mordecai knew and wholeheartedly followed You.
