Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night—oh, what a disaster awaits you!—would they not steal only as much as they wanted?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

What a scary warning, Jesus!

Those who blatantly ignore Your love, goodness and mercy
will receive punishment beyond the norm.

Is there any way, shape or form in which I have committed this grievous sin?

If so, please forgive me!
In Your Might, help me turn around!

out of love and gratitude
not only from fear of punishment.

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”
(Jude 1:18)

In that case, Jesus…

these must be the last times.

I see both happening:

People making fun of the truths of Your Word

Men and women living blatantly disobedient lives
with no thought of You.

In this environment, taking my stand for You and Your Word is extremely unwelcome.

But that’s okay.

I’m standing.
I’m not gonna budge.
I know how this ends.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Fear:

“…you said, ‘I will not serve you!’”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

What a foolhardy, terrifying declaration, Jesus.
Most of us aren’t that blatant with our defiance.

We give you lip service that makes us sound righteous
until our disobedient actions reveal our words to be lies.

That’s not my intent, LORD!

I know I’ve overpromised and underperformed.
But every time I promise You something I mean it.

Please help me overcome my weakness!
I so long to obey You.
Every time.
