Feel God’s pain to the bone, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord said to me, ‘Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there. I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.”
(Jeremiah 3:6-7)

When we turn to other gods, Jesus –

anything or anyone we value ahead of You –

in Your eyes
it’s adultery

and Your eyes are the only eyes that matter.

Pray this Lazaroo in eye-opened trust:

“…whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
(1 John 2:23)

Right, Jesus –

…because anyone who sees You

has seen the Father.

There aren’t millions of gods, three gods, two gods.

Just One.
You.

You’re the Father of all

the Savior of my soul

my indwelling Best Friend!

You’re the Creator of heaven and earth

of all that is
or ever will be.

You Are Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Three in One.
One in Three.

The only time it’s grammatically correct to say:

“They Is…He Are.”

Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.”
(Isaiah 3:24-26)

So this is what a curse looks like, Jesus

Your punishment –

doled out not upon the heathen
but upon Your people, who’ve forsaken You.

Keep me true, Jesus!

May Your curse never fall on me.

Be humbly forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.”
(2 Peter 2:10-11)

What a lesson, Jesus!

Even though You command me to resist the demonic work
of those powerful angels who followed Satan

because You created them
I’m to treat them with respect

as I do my earth-bound enemies.

Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.”
(Song of Songs 4:10-11)

Such over-the-top language may embarrass us, Jesus.

But unless I miss my guess

Solomon’s Shulammite bride
loved every word of it!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
(1 Peter 2:10)

Once I was lost, Jesus

but now I’m found.

by You.

Of course, You knew me the whole time – even before I was born

even before You created the world.

I was the clueless one.

I was the one who was lost and on my way to hell
because I didn’t have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful anticipation:

“And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.”
(Ecclesiastes 4:3-4)

And so we’re blessed with another uplifting word from Solomon, Jesus.

For somebody so wise
he sure was in a snit of depression.

But he was almost right about one thing:

People in heaven are definitely happier
than those of us still on earth!

Pray this Lazaroo…thoughtfully:

“We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.”
(James 3:2)

Of the many ways I can sin, Jesus

it’s most likely to happen
when I open my mouth.

That makes me want to keep my mouth shut.

But the problem with that solution is this:

If I only think it,
it’s still a sin.

No one else may know it
but You do

because You read minds.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”
(Proverbs 4:7-9)

It doesn’t do a whole lot of good to have opportunities, tools and ability, Jesus

if I don’t know how or when or why or where or with whom
to use them.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.
