Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“…to escape the clutches of ruin!”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

That’s certainly what I desire, Jesus!

Disappointments, losses, hard times and setbacks are one thing.
Ruin…hangs around a little longer.

However: Anyone who foolishly attempts to escape the clutches of ruin in their own strength

is cursed, marked, doomed to failure –

not only on this earth
but eternally.

There is only one way to escape the clutches of utter, total, permanent ruin:

Trust in You.
Trust in You.
Trust in You.

Take heed! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…before the day of the LORD’s wrath comes upon you.”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

Because we’ve never seen it, Jesus

it’s impossible to accurately imagine the horror of that day.

Just as no one loves like You

no one’s wrath could begin to compare to Yours.

When we’re doing something wrong and seemingly getting away with it

help us realize – in time! –

that in love You’re holding off a little longer
before the swift destruction of that day slams down.

Pray this Lazaroo with a listening ear:

“…send them on their way…”
(3 John 1:6)

That can be a euphemism for saying goodbye, Jesus.

But sometimes people don’t want to leave
even though I desperately want them to.

Maybe it’s because they’re lonely.

In that case, help me cut them some slack
and love on them a little more before they go.

But please help me recognize when it’s because they’re killing time!

so I can wisely, kindly, firmly
send them on their way without delay.
