Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…like a crackling fire consuming stubble…”
(Joel 2:5)

If a non-farmer saw a field of burning stubble, Jesus

they might try to put it out
thinking something bad is happening.

But that would be a mistake.

After harvest, farmers burn the severed stalks of stubble into the ground as fertilizer for next season’s crop.

Next time You set my stubble on fire, please remind me:

You’re not harming me!

You’re preparing my soil for a greater-than-ever crop

next season.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife…”
(Hosea 3:1)

Most husbands might have trouble showing love to a wife who is cheating on them, Jesus.

But the whole point is:

That’s what You want us to do for one another
because that’s what You do for us.

Sin is cheating on You with Satan.

But in spite of the fact that we’re spiritual adulterers
we still long for You to show us Your love.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Repent…”
(Revelation 2:5)

One word, Jesus

the only hope this repeat offender has.

Words are cheap.

I can say I’m sorry and mean it.

But I’ve got to hate what I did
not just hate the fact that I got caught.

I’ve got to turn it around
make amends
do something different.

And the next time that same temptation shows up at my door selling its filthy wares

I’ve got to spit in its face
and slam the door.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Praise be to the name of God…He reveals…hidden things…”
(Daniel 2:20, 22)

It’s useless to try to hide something from You, Jesus.

Can’t be done.
You know everything I think, say and do.

Not only can I not hide anything.

I can’t justify it
excuse it
evade it
spin it
explain it away.

If I thought it/said it/did it
I’m accountable for it

unless I confess it and forsake it
       in which case, in Your eyes
              it never happened.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame…”
(Jude 1:13)

What a graphic picture of these godless, wicked people, Jesus!

Just as wave action
causes pollutants in the water to create sea foam

so the stressors of life
bring the evil hidden in these people to the surface.

It’s an old story, isn’t it?

Anyone can look good while sailing calm seas.
But when the storm hits

whatever’s inside me
rises up for all to see.
