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!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!”
(Nahum 3:2)

Sounds I don’t want to hear, Jesus!

Sounds of my impending doom
for all the sins I’ve committed against You.

There’s no denying.

There have been many.
They’re what I deserve.

But they’re not what I want!

Forgive me, LORD!
Rescue me!

Do not hold against me the sins of my past
nor the sins of this very hour.

In Your mercy

Give me my second billionth chance.

Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.”
(Psalm 9:15-17)

They will suffer, Jesus

but it’s their own doing.

When their punishment befalls them

they’ll cry out against You

but they’ll have only themselves to blame.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.”
(1 John 2:22)

That clears up a few things, Jesus.

The atheist is a liar.

So when the atheist marshals their arguments against You

underneath every statement, every carefully-chosen fact
is hidden a deeply ugly secret:

The atheist isn’t seeking truth.

The atheist is desperately searching for a way
to escape Your authority over their life.

But their attempts are futile.

For one day soon they will stand before You

condemned.

Shake your head in disbelief, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“At the beginning of the reign of Xerxes, they lodged an accusation against the people of Judah and Jerusalem. And in the days of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. The letter was written in Aramaic script and in the Aramaic language.
(Ezra 4:6-7)

Anyone who lodges a complaint against Your people, Jesus

is hurling an accusation against You.

Last time I checked

that’s not an especially good idea.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“‘Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns. Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 2:28-29)

We play with our idols until they get us in trouble, Jesus…

then we cry out to You for help

and wonder why You don’t respond to us.
