Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…”
(Jonah 4:1)

What was this horrible thing Jonah thought You did, Jesus?

He didn’t just accuse You of doing wrong
he accused You of doing very wrong.

The “awful” thing You did

was being merciful.

The people of Ninevah deserved to be destroyed.

But when they repented
because Jonah preached their doom
You relented.

May I never be upset when You treat others better than they deserve!

Your mercy
is the only reason
I’m drawing another breath.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him…”
(Colossians 2:6)

You didn’t promise, Jesus

that those who claim to believe in You will be saved.

It’s one thing to claim it
a totally different thing to live it.

You’ve declared that those who endure to the end

are those who will be saved.

I’ve made my start with You.

I intend to stay true to You
till my final breath.

Tremble in Awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…‘as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah’…”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When You say, “…as surely as I live,” Jesus

it’s a done deal!

because You are more Alive
than all the rest of us put together.

You’re the Living One!

You’ve Always Been
You Are
You’ll Always Be.

Everything and everyone who draws a breath on this planet –

or anywhere else in Your vast creation

received their life from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it.”
(Habakkuk 2:19)

Is anything more important to me than You, Jesus?

If so, that’s an idol.

The thing is

I can claim You’re most important in my life

while putting someone or something
ahead of You.

If I’m lying to myself about this, please show me!

‘cause You smash idols.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Jesus declared, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’”
(John 3:3-4)

The New Life You grant to all who put their faith in You, Jesus

is a fresh, brand-new start
even more profound

than the miracle
of a baby’s first breath
on this earth.
