Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.”
(Titus 2:11)

That’s just what it took for me, Jesus –

Your grace.

Not my gifts, skills and abilities

not my sterling character

not my spotless behavior.

I’m woefully lacking in all of that.

But You, in Your love, mercy and grace

plucked me from the fiery pits of hell where I was headed

saved me from myself
and chose me for Yourself.

I am eternally grateful!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful faith:

“…show mercy…”
(Jude 1:23)

That’s what You did when You came to earth, Jesus.

In stunning mercy,

You deliberately chose
to experience what it means to be human..

Because You’re God, You already knew.

But when You entered this world as a baby

for the first time ever
You felt what we feel.

Now, when we come to You with our hurts and sorrows

You’re not limited to intellectual understanding.

You feel it
You get us

You share our emotions
in a way You never did before.

Pray this Lazaroo with awed admiration:

“Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’ And he says in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.’”
(Hebrews 5:5-6)

You could have done that for Yourself, Jesus!

You have all power and authority.

Instead, You chose to model for us the beautiful humility

that You desire to see in my daily life.

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

“…God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘The Lord knows those who are his…’”
(2 Timothy 2:19)

Your Word is that foundation, Jesus

not because it’s in writing
not because it’s the Bible
but because it’s You.

You Are The Word.

That’s
Solid.

But what means the world to me is knowing I belong to You!

You know me.
You chose me.
You saved me.
I’m Yours.

Not merely for my time on this earth
but through all eternity!

You’re right:

That seals it!

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“When you come to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them to war, for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.”
(Deuteronomy 2:19)

Lot chose for himself what he thought was the best land, Jesus

leaving Abraham second-best.

His descendants were the offspring of incestual relations with his daughters

who took advantage of him when he was drunk.

And yet…You blessed them!

How great is Your love!
