Pray this Lazaroo in compassionate urgency:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

My country’s disobedience has reached this very level, Jesus.

The God-defiant are gathering in large numbers
carousing in broad daylight.

Your judgment is on its way.

Please help me rescue as many as possible
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other…”
(Joel 2:27)

The heathen world worships gods of their own invention Jesus

creating idols

supposing there must be
gods of the sun, moon, sea,
plants and animals

not understanding that You created them all.
You’re the God of all.

Please help me not think, talk or act like a heathen

while pointing the lost to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

That’s both a harsh word, Jesus

and an immensely comforting one.

Do I want everyone to get what they deserve?

No.

In that case, I’d go to hell.

But when evil people arrogantly, relentlessly, unrepentantly harm others?

The purity of Your righteousness
demands an accounting.

Nevertheless, I will pray for their repentance and restoration

until it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
(James 3:7-8)

That explains a lot, Jesus.

I can’t control what someone else says.

Only You have that power.
Only You can make them speak up

or shut up.

I can’t even control what I say

without Your help.

I need help.

Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard for us to grasp the stunning reality of what You’re saying, Jesus:

You’ve placed some of the people on this planet

for the express purpose

of being examples of what happens

when we disobey You:

Anyone who repeatedly does so without repentance

will be cast into the lake of fire.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus!

You’ve created us all in Your Image.

Some of us act like it most of the time.
Others seldom act like it.

But sadly, none of us acts like it all of the time.

Please forgive me for the times
when I’ve acted like an animal!

and may I increasingly
reflect Your likeness.

Better think twice, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…your destruction of animals will terrify you.”
(Habakkuk 2:17)

Seriously, Jesus?

Who cares that much about animals?

You do.

That means I’d be wise to care about them, too.

But a whole lot of people don’t.

They forget:

You’re their Creator!

which makes it a dangerous thing to ignore.

When You create

You’re invested.
You intend to fulfill Your purpose.

It would be a very good idea for me

to discover Your purpose for Your creation
and do my best to honor it.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Surely he has done great things! Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.”
(Joel 2:20-22)

It’s all about You, Jesus

not my circumstances.

It doesn’t matter that my present landscape is barren.

You’re faithful.
You’re on Your way.

As I keep my eyes fixed on You

my desert will blossom!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the Levites took up the ark…and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it…and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.”
(2 Chronicles 5:4-6)

Oh, Jesus.

I’m so glad I don’t have to kill a bunch of animals
to worship You.

You sacrificed Yourself for me!

In grateful devotion for the rest of my days
I sacrifice myself in passionate service for You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”
(Psalm 8:6-8)

It’s hard to believe You’re talking about me, Jesus…

but You are.

I’m one of those You appointed to be a ruler over the works of Your hands!

In that case
I’d better step it up a notch.
