Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“I heard you in the garden…”
(Genesis 3:10)

Adam had that 1on1 relationship with You, Jesus

and blew it.

He took it for granted, let Satan distract him, successfully tempt him

and lost it.

Now, for the first time in his life, he was hiding from You

didn’t want to talk.

So You pursued him!

Thank You for the countless times You’ve pursued me, LORD!
Sadly, I’ve experienced how scary, lonely and dangerous it is out there

without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 2:8)

Seriously, Jesus?

They actually tried to hide from You –
the One who made them –

and the trees they were cowering behind?

There’s no hiding from You, is there?

Nor – unless like Adam and Eve I’ve sinned –
would I ever try to.

So since this whole “hiding from You” thing is utterly futile

help me refocus my mind, passions and energy

on wholehearted, guilt-free

obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Christ Jesus…the testimony given in its proper time.”
(1 Timothy 2:5-6)

Only looking back can we begin to understand the testimony of Your words to the serpent after he had successfully tempted Eve, Jesus:

“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

Satan indeed used the cross to strike Your heel

not realizing You would use it

to crush his head.

Pray this Lazaroo with sober assessment:

“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking…”
(Genesis 3:8)

What a thrill that must have been, Jesus –

to be able to hear You approaching…
to know they were about to see You!

Except, it wasn’t a thrill for them on that day.

They had sinned.

You were the last person – I mean God! –

they wanted to see.

I’m the same way.

So which is it for me today?

Allow your excitement to build, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“… the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”
(Revelation 2:7)

Because Adam and Eve sinned, Jesus

You banished them from the Garden of Eden.

Our sin became so great that You caused a flood to destroy the earth

and with it, the Garden of Eden.

Oh, but that paradise and tree of life on earth

was only a copy of the one in heaven!

reserved for all
who put their faith, hope and trust
in You.

Pray this Lazaroo in chastened acknowledgment:

“She also gave some to her husband…and he ate it.”
(Genesis 3:6)

Which of them can I blame for committing the first sin, Jesus?

Was it Eve?

After all, she bit first.

Was it Adam?

You created him first.
He should have known better.

Or was it the serpent?

Because nobody was sinning until he showed up.

The answer has to be: “All of the above.”

Each of them is fully responsible for their disobedient actions

as am I.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“She also gave some to her husband, who was with her…”
(Genesis 3:6)

So much for Adam being the innocent party, Jesus.

The guy was right there, keeping his mouth shut

until he took a bite.

Talk about no excuse!

He knew better.
But he didn’t do better.

However…even as I shake my head in judgment

I know someone else who has pulled the same stunt
time and time and time again:

Moi.

Help me, dear God!

Please.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…she took some and ate it.”
(Genesis 3:6)

No!

No! No! No!

Is that what You said when Eve bit the forbidden fruit, Jesus?

Was that the cry of Your holy angels
when she caved in to Satan’s temptation?

Better question:

Is that how You feel when I do the same?

When I read about Adam and Eve’s fall

I shake my head in sorrow.

“Why can’t they see what a foolish thing they’re doing?”

Then the thought:

“Why can’t I?”

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“Solomon took a census of all the aliens who were in Israel…”
(2 Chronicles 2:17)

I’d have been an alien in that census, Jesus

a foreigner
a stranger
a misfit

I’m not descended from Abraham, Isaac or Jacob.

I’m not even sure who all my ancestors are
except that if I go back far enough…

I’m pretty sure I go back to Adam. 😉

But I’m no longer an alien, am I?

Thanks to the cross
I’m family.
