Commit to stand! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense…”
(3 John 1:9-10)

John wasn’t about to let this pass, Jesus.

Truth is too important.
Reputations are priceless.

If somebody is spreading malicious lies

they need to be stopped.

If what they’re claiming is utter nonsense

the holes, inconsistencies and fallacies
have to be pointed out.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“The Lord…did not withhold his hand from destroying. He made ramparts and walls lament; together they wasted away. Her gates have sunk into the ground; their bars he has broken and destroyed.”
(Lamentations 2:8-9)

It’s easy to have a false idea of who You are, Jesus

believing You would never do such a thing.

Are You the Creator – the very embodiment – of love?

Yes! Absolutely! Hallelujah!

But maybe I’d better get a firmer grasp

on how much You hate sin!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Watch out…”
(2 John 1:8)

Warnings like these don’t exactly relax me, Jesus.

I wish I didn’t have to watch out.
I wish You’d do all my watching out for me.

And You would
if that’s what was best.

Actually, I know You do watch out for me, 24/7.

Only in heaven will I discover
what all You’ve protected me from.

But clearly, there’s real benefit in me keeping my eyes peeled, too.

So since You want me to
I will.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. On your clothes is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in.”
(Jeremiah 2:32-34)

How could I ever forget You, Jesus?

And yet when I repeatedly sin the same sins

that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.”
(1 John 2:20)

At first, that sounds so encouraging, Jesus –

and it is.

I’m thoroughly, totally, absolutely equipped to succeed!

But at second look, it scares me to death.

I do know the truth…

which makes me responsible to live it.

I can’t plead ignorance.

So maybe I’d better plead for Your mercy, grace and power

to do what I know to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Jerusalem staggers, Judah is falling; their words and deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.”
(Isaiah 3:8-9)

This is terrifying, Jesus.

You’ve just described what is happening now
before my very eyes.

Sins that people used to commit in shame and darkness
they now proudly display in broad daylight
urging others to join them.

No!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“For if God…protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others…if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless…then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials…”
(2 Peter 2:4-5, 7,9)

You did protect Noah, Jesus.

You protected Lot, too.

The thing is…

I’m not as righteous as Noah or Lot.

All I have going for me is Your forgiveness for my countless sins.

But praise Your Holy Name!

That’s enough.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate commitment:

“King Solomon made for himself the carriage; he made it of wood from Lebanon. Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior inlaid with love.”
(Song of Songs 3:9-10)

What was the costliest ingredient in Solomon’s carriage, Jesus?

It wasn’t the wood, silver, purple or gold, was it?

It was the love.

May the interior of my life – the heart of me – my very being!

always be inlaid with love.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
(1 Peter 2:5)

What are “spiritual sacrifices,” Jesus?

They have to be something I do – or don’t do –

with my own spirit.

What does my spirit want that isn’t best for my relationship with You?

I’ll give that up.

What does my spirit not want to do, that You desire?

That…I will do.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7-8)

We want to focus on what we think are the positives, don’t we, Jesus?

But there’s a time for

tearing
silence
hate
war

The key is to look to You for our direction

at all times.
