Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”
(Revelation 3:18-19)

Thank You for loving me that much, Jesus!

Forgive me for not being grateful at the time.

I’m ashamed to admit that It’s only when I look back

that I can feel the love.

You could have abandoned me in my sin

but You didn’t!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.”
(Song of Songs 5:6)

Few feelings are worse, Jesus

than to be abandoned by someone I love
someone I thought loved me.

But You are the Friend who sticks closer than a brother!

You will never leave me!
You will never forsake me!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.”
(Acts 2:30-31)

You made that promise to King David, Jesus

and You kept it.

You keep all Your promises.

Please, LORD…

help me keep mine.

Take it to heart! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins. At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted.”
(Zephaniah 2:4)

Wow, Jesus:

“Abandoned. Left in ruins.
Emptied. Uprooted.”

I wouldn’t want any of those to happen to me

let alone all of them!

But this is exactly what will happen on the day of Your wrath

to the cities of this –

or any country –

that repeatedly defies You.

O God!

Send a revival to my nation!

To the world!

Pray this Lazaroo with a corrected attitude:

“…receiving no help…”
(3 John 1:7)

When I ask for help and no one responds

it makes me feel lonely, abandoned, even unloved, Jesus!

But should I have that response?

It’s not like I’ve helped everyone
who would have appreciated my help.

So what’s my problem?

It’s a learning opportunity, isn’t it?

Maybe the time wasn’t right.
Maybe I didn’t ask the right people.
Maybe I’m supposed to do it myself.

After all, I’m never alone.

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful confidence:

“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

That’s the hardest, Jesus.

When I keep my suffering to myself
it’s not a surprise that no one comforts me.

But when my pain increases to the point that I’m forced to cry out
and still no one shows up with love and compassion

my agony is multiplied by the stunning realization
that I’m abandoned
forsaken
alone.

Except I’m not!
Hallelujah!!

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered assessment:

“You have abandoned your people…”
(Isaiah 2:6)

It certainly seems like that during some seasons, Jesus

and in reality, You do abandon Your people
for a time.

When we repeatedly sin against You

You withdraw.

It’s one thing when we try and fail

repent, get up and try again.

But it’s an entirely different matter

when we willingly, knowingly, deliberately reject You.

That’s when You back off for a while

and let us stew
in our own foul juices.
