Pray this Lazaroo in chastened submission:

“…he who said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ also said, ‘You shall not murder.’”
(James 2:11)

This isn’t about compiling a list of all Your prohibitions, is it, Jesus?

You’re making it clear to me
that I have no room to judge someone’s sin as worse than mine.

You hate all sin!

Big and little.

You want me to focus on eradicating my so-called “little” sin

instead of attempting to excuse it
by pointing out someone else’s “big” sin.

Pray this Lazaroo with the humility that comes from honesty:

“…there will be false teachers among you.”
(2 Peter 2:1)

Why, Jesus?

Why would You allow false teachers in Your Church?

I suppose that’s the same question as

why would You allow liars, addicts, adulterers, gluttons, gossips?

It’s who we are, isn’t it?

Thank God, not who You’re helping us become!

But we haven’t arrived.

Every single one of us has such a long way to go.

Since You’re lovingly correcting me…

I guess I can lovingly correct them.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…you must not be a prostitute…”
(Hosea 3:3)

Well, duh, Jesus.

That’s kind of a standing rule, isn’t it?

Why would Hosea say this to his wife?

It was because You told him to take her back, wasn’t it?
Even though she’d been unfaithful to him.

Broken laws need to be restated.

Am I in violation of any of Your commands, LORD?
If so, please tell me again

and in Your great mercy
give me another chance to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“…he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you…”
(2 Corinthians 2:5)

Paul actually cared more about how this man’s sin was affecting the whole church

than he did about how it was affecting him.

That’s the heart of an apostle…a pastor…a Christian.

At some point in our daily walk with You
we’ve got to transition from a life that’s all about

me

to a life that’s all about You

and Your precious people.

Open your eyes, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.”
(Hosea 3:1)

Satan knows these false gods he parades in front of people

are no gods at all, Jesus.

So he always finds a way to sweeten his lies, to make them easier to swallow –

sometimes with sacred raisin cakes
at other times with drugs, drunkenness, adultery.

But there’s a catch.

As with all poisons
there’s a lethal aftertaste.

Pray this Lazaroo in sold-out surrender:

“None who go to her…attain the paths of life.”
(Proverbs 2:19)

Terrifying words, Jesus.

At first glance, they leave no hope.

It sounds as though anyone who has ever committed adultery

is condemned to hell
no matter what.

But that’s not what You’re saying.

The word, “go” is present tense.

If a person stops sinning

that makes it past tense.

If they quit for You, turning to You with all their heart, they have Your promise:

They will live.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress.’”
(Hosea 3:1)

Seriously, Jesus?
Seriously?

Seriously.

For a husband to take his cheating wife back is hard enough.

But to show her love?

Who can do that?

You can.

And You do…

every time I sin against You and come crawling back.

If that’s how You treat me

how can I do less for others?

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…her paths [lead] to the spirts of the dead.”
(Proverbs 2:18)

You’re speaking of those who commit adultery, Jesus

who betray their marriage partners
in affairs and one night stands.

That choice leads to death of so many kinds, doesn’t it?

Death of trust, hopes, dreams
stability, innocence.

But having said that

I cannot begin to thank You enough
for the new life of Your mercy.

Even for the worst of us

You’re the God of the Second Chance.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The LORD said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife…”
(Hosea 3:1)

Most husbands might have trouble showing love to a wife who is cheating on them, Jesus.

But the whole point is:

That’s what You want us to do for one another
because that’s what You do for us.

Sin is cheating on You with Satan.

But in spite of the fact that we’re spiritual adulterers
we still long for You to show us Your love.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Wisdom will save you…from the wayward wife…who has left the partner of her youth…”
(Proverbs 2:12, 16-17)

There’s not a man alive who doesn’t need that wisdom, Jesus

not a wife who doesn’t need Your help
to keep from becoming that woman.

The more conscientious the person

the less worried they are it will happen to them
the more vulnerable they become to Satan’s trap.

Better people than I have fallen!

Don’t allow me
to let down my guard.
