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 in steadfast faith:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.”
(Galatians 2:16)

I keep forgetting this, Jesus!

Should I obey You?
Absolutely!

But You don’t want me living in fear when I sin

as though my place in heaven with You is in jeopardy.

Do I believe in You with all my heart?

Yes!!!

Then…

I’m in.

Beg God for supernatural discernment, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman…”
(Esther 3:1)

You don’t tell us why the king honored this awful man, Jesus.

Maybe it was because of Haman’s family connections.
Perhaps the king’s advisers thought it was a good idea.
Maybe Haman possessed skills the king needed.

But honoring Haman was an absolutely atrocious decision

because the man was evil to the bone.

Help me never forget, LORD:

If a person is great in every area except character

they’re poison.

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent spirit

“The river gates are thrown open…”
(Nahum 2:6)

When Ninevah’s river gates were opened, Jesus

their city was flooded.

The very thing that had been a blessing to them

became their undoing.

Are there areas in my life that carry that risk, Father?

People, work, sports, foods, entertainment, behaviors –

given to me as blessings from You

that I might misuse, turning them into self-inflicted harm?

Absolutely.
Every one of them.

Help me enjoy Your blessings in the right way!

Pray this Lazaroo with a willing heart:

“Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the LORD their God…”
(Hosea 3:5)

Sometimes You have to run me through the ringer, Jesus

to get my obedient attention.

I don’t like to admit that.

I wish it wasn’t true about me.

I much prefer to think like You want me to

say what You want me to

do what You want me to

…without needing negative reinforcement.

Come to think of it…

that’s absolutely what You long for, too.
