Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

But before I can do good, Jesus

I have to be good.

Bad people do bad things. Good people do good things.

I do what I am.

True, sometimes bad people do good things

usually from an ulterior motive.

Good people often do bad things

because we’re weak…still growing…battling temptation.

But by faith –

through my deepening, daily, 1on1 relationship with You –

those good works are on the way.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Will they not wake up…?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Your prophet is not talking about nice people, Jesus.

They’re the kind I’d rather see stay fast asleep.
I’m not too crazy about my enemies being sharp and alert.

You’re the only one who can keep them snoozing, Father –

or if they happen to be awake and on the prowl
You’re the only on who can put them to sleep.

On the other hand…

please help me keep my eyes wide open.

Stay focused as you pray this Lazaroo:

 “But you have turned from the way…”
(Malachi 2:8)

Your way is the only road worth traveling, Jesus –

where joy arises
where growth occurs
where good takes place
where people are healed
where hope springs eternal
where amazing things happen
where bad people become good
where good people become great
where nobodies become somebody
where broken relationships are restored

Why would I ever turn from Your way?

            There is not one good reason
            In all this sick old world.

Pray this Lazaroo without illusion:

“Not a word from their mouth can be trusted…”
(Psalms 5:9)

Some people believe everyone is good at heart, Jesus.

If only that were true!

But it isn’t.

Some people are bad to the bone.

They refuse to do right
resisting every effort to help them turn around.

They take delight
in doing what You abhor.

They’re never happier

than when they’re harming one of Your people
or leading one more gullible person astray.

Keep them away from me!
