Pray this Lazaroo with eyes that see:

“How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals’? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done.”
(Jeremiah 2:23)

It’s much easier for me to see how they defiled themselves, Jesus

than it is to see how I’ve done the same.

No, I haven’t run after anything called, “Baal.”

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t idols in my life –

anyone or anything I honor above You.

Open my eyes!

Pray this Lazaroo, trusting God’s design:

“This too is meaningless.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

Yes it was, Jesus…

…and no, it wasn’t.

Meaningless to Solomon?

Sure. He was stuck with what he could see.

Because You had given him unprecedented wisdom

he supposed that if he couldn’t figure it out

there was nothing to it.

But meaningless to You?

No, no, never-never, huh-uh, uh!

Every person, plant, animal, behavior, event and substance

on or off this earth

has meaning to You!

Because You do nothing without purpose.

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“…the upright will live in the land…”
(Proverbs 2:21)

The “upright” You’re talking about

is a little bit more than merely standing erect, isn’t it, Jesus?

In fact, a person hurting and sick while flat on their back

can remain upright before You.

The posture You most value is uprightness of heart, spirit, mind.

When my inside is right
the outside of me follows.

So when my behavior’s not right

the place I need to correct
is inside.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:


“…on the day of the LORD’s wrath…the whole world will be consumed…”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

As terrifying as that day will be, Jesus

it’s Your right.

You’re the Creator of everything. You put us here.

You can take us out.

In fact, in light of our inexcusable, outrageous behavior

it’s only because of Your great mercy
that You haven’t done it already.

I know You’re the God of the second-googolth chance.

But one day
the last chance will run out.

Pray this Lazaroo with clear-eyed humility:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9)

I’ve seen some lawless ones running around, Jesus.

It’s good to know where that comes from.

The devil might not make them do it

but they sure are buying what he’s selling.

Of course, it’s easy to recognize that behavior in others

rather than deal with it in the face of that person
who looks back at me in the mirror.

Pray this Lazaroo with sobered clarity:

“…his religion is worthless.”
(James 1:26)

What a blow that would be, Jesus!

To spend a lifetime thinking my religion is doing me good
that You’re pleased enough with me to take me to heaven

then find out that I’ve wasted my time and energy
that all my religious behavior and cherished beliefs

were dead wrong.

Which is why I’m not depending on my ideas, traditions and customs.

My only hope – and I know it to the bone –

is You.
