Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“…saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s sure not by my work, Jesus.

Thank You, Holy Spirit!

My work is spotty.

Sometimes pathetic.

Even when I’m having what for me is a pretty obedient day

my track record says it won’t last.

Oh, I intend for it to!

I beg You to make it happen.

But time and again I drop the ball

and come crawling back to You

asking for forgiveness and mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled concern:

“…even Barnabas was led astray.”
(Galatians 2:13)

Oh, no, Jesus.

Not Barnabas!

Not the one who lived up to the meaning of his name:

“son of Encouragement.”

Not the one who convinced the others to accept Paul

through whom You preached and blessed so many

who was willing to disagree with Paul
in order to give quiiter-Mark a second chance.

Dear God.

If he can be led astray, so can I.

But I beg You:

Don’t let that happen!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…they invent ways of doing evil…”
(Romans 1:30)

That’s a different level of evil, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not satisfied with every manner of wickedness that has gone before
they’re intent on coming up with brand new ways to do wrong.

Some of what they come up with is to satisfy their own perversions.

But they also seek new ways to do harm to those who belong to You.

Great God Almighty, I beg You:
Spare me from such people!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…you have…shown partiality in matters of the law.”
(Malachi 2:9)

Not something that pleases You, Jesus.

You gave Your law to be applied equally, fairly, to all.
Instead, they used it inconsistently

holding some to its righteous standards
excusing others.

I can’t begin to imagine how displeased You are

with my inconsistency, LORD.

Please forgive me!
I am utterly without excuse.

All I can do is give it everything I’ve got

and beg You to be Yourself in me.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“May God deal with me, be it ever so severely…”
(1 Kings 2:23)

Until You, Jesus

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived.

But that was one of the most foolish things he ever uttered.

I would never ask You to deal with me severely
if I didn’t follow through on something –
no matter how important.

I beg You to be far gentler with me than I deserve!

so I can keep trying

until I get it right.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Wisdom…will save you also from the adulteress…”
(Proverbs 2:12, 16)

There are a lot of people who need that kind of wisdom, Jesus…

certainly, the man who is tempted to cheat on his wife needs it
but so does the wife of the man who is tempted to cheat
the husband of the woman who’s a cheater
the children and/or grandchildren of both couples
their friends and relatives who see what is happening

and desperately beg You to intervene.
