Pray this Lazaroo in compassionate urgency:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

My country’s disobedience has reached this very level, Jesus.

The God-defiant are gathering in large numbers
carousing in broad daylight.

Your judgment is on its way.

Please help me rescue as many as possible
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard for us to grasp the stunning reality of what You’re saying, Jesus:

You’ve placed some of the people on this planet

for the express purpose

of being examples of what happens

when we disobey You:

Anyone who repeatedly does so without repentance

will be cast into the lake of fire.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple, profound trust:

“Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.”
(Psalm 10:1-3)

In a heartbeat, Jesus

You could stop every evil person
from saying or doing anything wrong.

which would make us all nothing more than robots.

Instead, You’ve chosen to give us the freedom to choose You

or reject You.

Pray this Lazaroo in sober reflection:

“The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.”
(Psalm 9:15-17)

They will suffer, Jesus

but it’s their own doing.

When their punishment befalls them

they’ll cry out against You

but they’ll have only themselves to blame.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Though you, Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty.”
(Hosea 4:15)

A command like that is hard to obey, Jesus.

Certainly, a person caught in sin might wish for better
for someone they truly love.

But it’s incredibly hard to tell someone:

“Don’t do as I’ve done.
Do as I say.”

A bad example is a tall, tall mountain to climb.

From this moment forward, help me set a good example

for everyone I want to see live for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, ‘It’s no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.’ As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets.”
(Jeremiah 2:25-26)

I don’t have to sin, Jesus!

No matter how many times I’ve caved in to Satan’s temptation

Your power is still mine

to say NO!

Pray this Lazaroo in unashamed desperation:

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.”
(Psalms 6:2)

All over the world, Jesus

people battling COVID-19 are praying prayers very similar to this one.

But they’re not the only ones.

So are those battling sicknesses and diseases of every kind.

Nor does it stop with them.

They’re joined by men and women

caught in impossible situations of every imaginable –
and sometimes unimaginable – kind.

O God! Please!

Intervene!
