Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless repentance:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’ Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: ‘Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?’”
(Haggai 1:2-4)

There’s a time for everything, Jesus.

But when I claim it’s not the time to serve You
because I’m too busy serving myself?

You see through me –
straight to my selfish, me-centered heart.

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.

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.”
(2 John 1:10-11)

I’m no innocent bystander, am I, Jesus?

Even though  I claim to belong to You

while welcoming and befriending
buddying up and hanging out

with people who deny Your Name
with those who reject Your Word

I’m in the same boat with them

which is going to sink.

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 in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo with informed faith:

“I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.”
(Revelation 3:9)

Only You can do something like that, Jesus.

You can make any of us do anything –

anytime You please.

Of course, most of the time You give us information

leaving it up to us to make the right choice.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
(2 Corinthians 3:5-6)

I do long to obey You right down to the letter of the law, Jesus!

But I can’t.

Thank You, thank You, Thank You

for Your new, loving, mercy-drenched covenant

of grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me. Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for, that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!”
(Job 6:4, 8-9)

Some people claim You don’t do such things, Jesus.

But Job knew better.
He lived it.

Help me trust You!

even when to me

it makes no sense.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…to find some of your children walking in the truth…”
(2 John 1:4)

One of the great finds of all time, Jesus!

There are so many people who aren’t committed to the truth
still others who have no regard for the truth
and a distressing number who hate the truth.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s one thing to claim to love the truth
another thing entirely to walk in it –

which is who I’m determined to be.
