Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.”
(2 Thessalonians 3:2)

That seems an obvious statement, Jesus.

Of course wicked and evil people don’t have faith!

Oh, wait a minute…

are You referring to those who only pretend to have faith
but in their hearts are wicked and evil

doing incalculable damage behind my back
while smiling to my face?

Yes, LORD.

Please.
I beg You:

Deliver me from them!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.”
(1 Kings 2:21)

How many times have I made Bathsheba’s mistake, Jesus?

She thought she was doing her son’s brother a favor.

But if Solomon had granted her request

Adonijah may have overthrown his brother as king
and killed her and Solomon.

How many times have people plotted behind my back?
How many times have You rescued me from dangers I couldn’t see?

Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule…”
(Habakkuk 2:6)

No one likes to be made fun of, Jesus

especially when the accusations are true.

Most people do it behind the person’s back.

But when they taunt them to their face
they not only think the person is incompetent
but powerless.

In my own strength I’m both, Father:

incompetent and powerless.

Which is why I choose to live my life

in Your ability
fueled by Your incomparable power.

Keep your eyes wide open as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…deceitful men the LORD abhors.”
(Psalm 5:6)

I abhor them too, Jesus.

As uncomfortable and unpleasant as it is to face someone who blatantly detests me

I far prefer dealing with their honest hatred
than thinking someone likes me

who doesn’t.

You know everyone’s heart.

You see their outward speech and behavior
when it masks an evil intent.

Point them out to me, LORD!

Don’t let me fall for their smooth talk
or be undone by their wicked schemes.
