Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect… the priest shall burn it on the altar…In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 4:32,35)

My sin has to be atoned for, doesn’t it, Jesus?

It can’t simply be ignored.

You are the Lamb that once and for all

paid for my sins

with Your own blood.

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
(Mark 2:9-10)

It wasn’t really about healing paralysis, was it, Jesus?

True, that’s incredibly impressive and compassionate.
It meant the world to that man.

But it was only a temporary fix.

What’s awesome

is Your forgiveness of sins.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.”
(Exodus 3:22)

You had a plan, Jesus.

You saw how ruthlessly the Egyptians treated your people.
So when the time came, You gave Your people a little payback.

I have no right to exact revenge on anyone.

But You do.

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

“Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: ‘You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.’”
(Matthew 3:6-8)

John the Baptist didn’t mince words, Jesus!

When all is said and done
more is said than done.

Words are cheap.

I’ve got to back mine up with action.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“The man said, ‘The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then the LORD God said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:12-13)

We insist it’s someone else’s fault, Jesus.

Even though it isn’t.

No matter what the temptation, the threat, the incentive, the circumstances

if I said it or did it, it’s my fault.

Period.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“You weep and wail because [the LORD] no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands.”
(Malachi 2:13)

When You refuse to look with favor on what I’m offering You, Jesus

I need to quit crying and start changing my ways.

Show me, LORD!

Are my tithes and offerings acceptable to You?
Are my attempts to serve You bringing You pleasure?

If not, please make it clear to me:

Where did I take a wrong turn?

Be empowered! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The LORD said to Satan, ‘The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you!’”
(Zechariah 3:2)

Satan was accusing Joshua, Jesus.

Then Your angel, speaking in Your behalf,
showed me and everyone who reads these words

how to respond to Satan’s accusations.

I don’t have the clout to rebuke Satan and shut his mouth.

But You do.

It is by Your Name and in Your power
that I take my stand against the enemy of my soul!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.”
(Haggai 2:21)

Getting an assignment like this from You would be a challenge, Jesus.

First of all, it’s hard to deliver bad news.

Secondly, news this huge and terrifying
would almost certainly directly impact me.

Finally, what if You didn’t do it in the governor’s lifetime?
I’d look like a false prophet.

But ultimately, none of that matters, does it?

My job is very simple:

Obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“…the word of the LORD is against you…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

Could there be any more chilling words, Jesus?

May they never be said about me.

But the question is, “How can I prevent that?

Actually, it’s simple, isn’t it?

If I learn and obey Your Word with all my heart
Your Word will always be for me –
never against me.

But that’s not just a concept, is it?

It’s a way of life.

The way of life.

My way of life.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Has not the LORD Almighty determined…”
(Habakkuk 2:13)

I can stop the sentence right there, Jesus.

You’ve determined it all.

Everything that has happened, is happening, will happen –

has been decided by You.

Obviously, I don’t know most of what You’ve got cooking

except for those things You’ve spelled out in Your Word.

So for me

following You every step of the way

is the adventure of my lifetime!

Show me what You want me know!

No more…
and no less.
