Pray this Lazaroo with a pure, humble heart:

“…you flood the LORD’s altar with tears.”
(Malachi 2:13)

There are tears, Jesus…

and then there are tears.

There are those who cry because they’re angry

or because of what they’ve lost.

Some are able to manufacture fake tears

in order to manipulate the tenderhearted and gullible.

Others sob in their punishment because they’ve been caught –

not because they’re sorry they did it.

But when I flood Your altar with tears

may it be in sincere, heartfelt repentance.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“…I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
(Hebrews 3:10-11)

You spell out pretty clearly what causes You to become angry with a generation of people, Jesus:

hearts that go astray
refusal to know Your ways.

O God!

Help me truly know You and Your ways!
Rise up within me so strongly –

that I never stray!

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, ‘Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.’”
(Judges 2:20-21)

That explains some things, Jesus –

about what happened to Israel
and what could happen to me.

May I keep Your covenant of love and listen to You!

so that You drive out every enemy
Satan sends against me.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-inspired discernment:

“…I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.”
(Ezekiel 3:14)

It’s seldom a good idea to go anywhere when I’m bitter, Jesus.

Even less so with an angry spirit.

But when You’re the one whose strong hand is creating both

look out, sin-ridden destination!

They’re about to find out what You can do to disrupt and destroy

through Your unworthy, chosen instrument.

Use me, LORD!
Use me!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“Is the Spirit of the LORD angry?”
(Micah 2:7)

I know You get that way sometimes, Jesus

because You say so!

That’s because we – for whom You have done so much –

give You good reason to be angry
when we defiantly disobey You.

But I’m still here – and not fried to a cinder by one of your lightning bolts –

because You’re slow to anger

which gives me at least a little time to change my ways

before it’s too late.
