Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of love:

“Be merciful…”
(Jude 1:22)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why is it so hard for me to be merciful to others

while being the grateful recipient
of all this mercy I’m receiving from You?

I know what I deserve –

and it ain’t peaches and cream.

I deserve dismemberment, humiliation and hell.
Instead, You’ve given me life, golden opportunities and heaven.

Surely, I can muster up a little of Your mercy toward others!

You’ve made it pretty clear:

If I don’t

my own mercy could come to a halt.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.”
(Ezekiel 4:9-10)

My guess, Jesus?

When You called Ezekiel to be one of Your prophets
he couldn’t have imagined it would be to do something like this.

When You called me to be one of Your followers

same here.

But I wholeheartedly embrace
everything You have in store for me.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.”
(3 John 1:11)

Okay, Jesus.

I’m absolutely done with evil!

Show me the good You want me to imitate.

There are the awesome examples in Your Word.
The Bible’s chock full of them!

Then there are the Godly people walking this earth.
May I be inspired by those You’ve placed in my life!

It would be pretty cool

if one day I could be that kind of example to others.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“He has overthrown you without pity, he has let the enemy gloat over you, he has exalted the horn of your foes. The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. You walls of Daughter Zion, let your tears flow like a river day and night; give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest.”
(Lamentations 2:17-18)

It’s hard to see You like this, Jesus

but absolutely essential.

You’re giving me a clear picture of the horror of sin.

May I hate and reject the sin in my life
as much as You do.

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house…”
(2 John 1:10)

The people who enter my home influence me, Jesus

for good or bad.

They can encourage me in the right direction

or hinder me from following You with my whole heart.

The people I permit to enter my home

also send a message to everyone on the outside.

Rightly or wrongly, my acceptance of them
causes people to conclude I agree with them.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.”
(Jeremiah 3:8-9)

Spiritual adultery, Jesus –

Your people worshiping idols instead of You

betraying the covenant You made with them
as an adulterous violates her marriage vows.

May I never put anyone or anything ahead of You!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser focused intent:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you.”
(1 John 2:24)

It doesn’t do much good, Jesus

to hear the great, life-changing truths of Your Word

then fail to remember them

not build every aspect of my life upon them.

You’ve told me to see to it that I don’t let that happen.

That means I’m the one responsible.

If I don’t do it
I have no one to blame but myself.

Awake! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, ‘We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!’”
(Isaiah 4:1)

Sin doesn’t end in triumph, Jesus

but in humiliation.

Satan packs all his pleasures into the first moments of my disobedience

then leaves me hurting, disgraced, bankrupt.

How many times do I have to see this outcome of temptation

before I reject it?

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent humility:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand.”
(2 Peter 2:12)

Am I doing that, Jesus?

I don’t think so…

but if it’s in an area I don’t understand
I could very well be guilty and not know it.

I have to face it:

There’s a whole lot I don’t understand!

You’re the one who gives understanding.

You know what I need to know
and what I don’t.

Help me grasp what I need
and respond exactly as You desire!

Pray this Lazaroo in supernatural awareness:

“You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.”
(Song of Songs 4:12-14)

Solomon had a way with words, Jesus

and no wonder:

You’re the one who gave them to him!

Please give me the words I need to

bless
encourage
uplift
strengthen

those You’ve placed in my life!
