Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7-8)

We want to focus on what we think are the positives, don’t we, Jesus?

But there’s a time for

tearing
silence
hate
war

The key is to look to You for our direction

at all times.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh…”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

This is so good to know, Jesus!

You’re telling me if it’s not happening right now, don’t worry.

It’s just not the right time.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob,’ declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.”
(Amos 3:13)

Some things are hard to hear, Jesus

so we plug our ears
making noises with our mouths
engaging in frenetic activity

trying to keep Your warnings of doom
from penetrating all the way to our hearts
forcing us to repent.

But it’s the hardest messages from You

that I most need to hear, isn’t it?

Forgive me, LORD!
I’m listening.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…that day sweeps on like chaff…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I’ve had a few days that felt like that, Jesus.

Nothing but chaff –
the sweepings of husks separated from the grain.

Filler…but no nutrition.
Activity…without accomplishment.

But the wild thing is that even on those days

You were with me.
You’re always with me!

And You – Redeemer of Lost Days –

were working, teaching, moving even then –
one more step in Your loving, lifelong plan

to transform me into Your amazing likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Their land is full of idols…”
(Isaiah 2:8)

So is mine, Jesus.

Some obvious.
Others less so.

If an idol is anything that so captures my devotion

that when forced to choose

I prefer that person, place, thing or activity to You

then my city, state, nation and world
are overrun by idols.

Of course, that’s not the big question I need to answer:

Are there any idols in my life?

Please help me smash them

before You have to.
