Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.”
(Mark 3:25-27)

In the midst of defending Yourself against their false accusations, Jesus

You gave us this principle that has guided us for all time.

May my house never be divided!

But if that happens
work through me to restore it.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“But now many nations are gathered against you. They say, ‘Let her be defiled, let our eyes gloat over Zion!’ But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord; they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.”
(Micah 4:11-12)

I don’t understand all the details of Your Plan either, Jesus.

But I am 100% confident of Your Plan’s Big Picture:

You will punish those who defy You
and save those who turn  to You!

Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“’…if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband…May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen. So be it.’”
(Numbers 5:20-22)

It’s great to know when I’m innocent of the charges against me, Jesus

and terrifying when I know I’m guilty.

Human beings may guess wrong

But You never do

because You’re not guessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.’ So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: ‘How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.’”
(Mark 3:22-24)

No one can make that charge against You, Jesus

nor any other.

Not only did you put them in their place

You taught us an invaluable truth for all time.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes-wide-open love:

“I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.”
(Lamentations 3:1-3)

Jeremiah didn’t sugarcoat it, Jesus.

He knew You had the power to stop the attacks against him.

You’re my Protector, too.

When bad things happen to me
it’s Your choice to cause or allow them…

because You know what’s best.

Pray this Lazaroo with a yearning soul:

“At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.”
(1 Samuel 3:12-13)

I, too, have failed to restrain some of the people in my life, Jesus.

Of course, You haven’t given me full control over someone else.

But You have given me a measure of influence.

Please maximize Your mighty power through me
to accomplish what only You can do.

Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“As you summon to a feast day, so you summoned against me terrors on every side. In the day of the Lord’s anger no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and reared my enemy has destroyed.”
(Lamentations 2:22)

We make a lethal mistake, don’t we, Jesus?

When we sin and nothing happens
we think nothing will happen.

We fail to realize You’re giving us time to repent.

But if we don’t

on a day seemingly like any other
suddenly the day of Your anger will arrive.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority…to the emperor, as the supreme authority…”
(1 Peter 2:13)

This one’s hard to do, Jesus

whether the supreme authority is an evil dictator
or somebody I voted against.

But it has nothing to do with them, does it?

You command me to submit to them
for Your sake.

So for your sake – when it comes to preference –

I will.

But if they ever require me to disobey You

they can take a hike.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.
