Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Declare them guilty, O God!”
(Psalms 5:10)

David didn’t pray this prayer over people who’ve merely slipped, Jesus.

When I run into one of those, I beg You to forgive them,
pick them up, teach them, give them another chance.

After all…that’s what You keep doing for me.

But David has run into a few pathological liars

whose souls are wicked to the core.

He knows the heartbreak, ugliness and devastation that bunch can cause

…and so do You.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Salvation comes from the LORD.”
(Jonah 2:9)

Okay, Jesus…that’s true!

But not exactly a news flash.
That’s pretty much Your specialty.

But this statement comes from the mouth of the runaway prophet Jonah

from inside the belly of a great fish
who had swallowed him
and was trying to digest him.

So this was a statement of pure faith!

I love that You give those who run from You
the chance to repent, turn around
and run back.

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 with burning emotion: 

“…nothing escapes them.”
(Joel 2:3)

This is bone-chilling, Jesus.

When You send punishment
nothing escapes.

You don’t do a half-way, hit-or-miss job.
It gets done.

Punishment delivered…
in full.

But all You need is my, sincere, heartfelt apology

coupled with genuine repentance –
an about-face in my actions

to deliver me from Your wrath.

You look straight into my heart.
You see whether or not I fully intend to follow You.

That’s all it takes
for You to give me another chance.
