Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid determination:

“People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.”
(Isaiah 2:19)

If we love and fear You now, Jesus

we’ll shout for joy in that day
fearless and triumphant!

But if we disdain and ignore You now

that day will be horrific terror
like nothing we’ve ever known.

I’m taking my stand with You.

Now!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

Some people say they’d rather party in hell with the sinners, Jesus

than be bored to death in heaven with the saints.

But You add that in those gloomy dungeons

“the worms that eat them do not die,
and the fire is not quenched.”

How blind they are, Jesus!

Hell is nonstop, eternal agony.
The party’s in heaven.

Get a grip! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves…”
(Song of Songs 3:1)

A bed may not be the best place to conduct a thorough search, Jesus. 😉

Perhaps she didn’t want to get out of bed.

Where am I snuggling down in a warm bed of sleepy comfort –

instead of diligently searching to achieve
those things You’ve called me to do?

If they’re out there somewhere in the dark and cold

help me haul out to find them.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…rid yourselves of all…slander of every kind.”
(1 Peter 2:1)

Got it, Jesus.

You don’t want me to say anything false and harmful.

About anyone.

But why would I want to?

Only if I’m tempted to do so by Satan –

to harm someone I don’t like
to get back at someone who’s hurt me
by passing along a rumor I think is true.

O God! Don’t let me sow that seed!

I sure don’t want to reap it.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

Well, it’s not a meaningless great misfortune for the person who inherits all that, Jesus! 😉

Isn’t that the whole point of what I’ve accumulated –
to have the joy of passing it on to those I love?

Love isn’t fair!
It’s outrageously generous.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered recognition:

“…whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
(James 2:10)

Thank You for clarifying this, Jesus.

The law doesn’t hand out grades of A, B, C, D or F
The law is pass/fail.

If I miss one question, I flunk.

Thank You for Your amazing grace!

Thank You for accepting me on the basis of faith!

Because when it comes to the law

I flunked a long time ago.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“So, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…’”
(Hebrews 3:7-8)

That’s a big “if,” Jesus.

Most people haven’t heard Your voice.

Except…if I’ve read the Bible

or heard a preacher or teacher proclaiming Your Word

I guess I have heard from You.

So I’m not off the hook, am I?

Looks like I’d better not harden my heart. Smile

O God!

Help me make my heart totally responsive to You!

“Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.”
(Psalms 6:8-9)

I’m so glad You hear my weeping, Jesus.

I try not to weep.
I want to be strong.
I don’t want to be a complainer.

But even when I keep it bottled up so no one knows

You hear my silent weeping
from deep within my soul.

Thank You!

Pray this Lazaroo with new understanding:

“Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus…”
(Philemon 1:23)

Misery loves company, Jesus.

That got Epaphras a mention in the pages of Scripture!

But as much as it helps to have someone else suffering like I am

it’s a whole ‘nuther level when we’re both suffering
because of our love for You.

That’s a brotherhood…a sisterhood –

a bond so strong that no words can do it justice!

To find someone else who loves You that much

is priceless.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
(Job 3:26)

You allowed Job to suffer in a way that few, if any of us have, Jesus!

All his children were killed at once
leaving him only his critical, heartless wife.

Without warning, he went from vast riches to total poverty
in a single day.

He went from being most respected to ridiculed.
Even his closest friends turned against him.

May I never again complain!
