Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.”
(1 Corinthians 4:3-5)

You’re my judge, Jesus.

But even better
You’re my compassionate, loving, merciful Savior!

Others see my results.

You see my heart –
how passionately I long to please You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—”
(Joel 2:13-14)

Why do You treat us so much better than we deserve, Jesus?

It’s Your deep, abiding love, isn’t it?

Hallelujah!
Thank You!

But I can’t let it stop here, can I?

There are those who’ve wronged me
even as I have wronged You.

May I extend to them
Your deep, abiding love!

Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing gratitude:

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”
(Joel 2:13)

O Jesus!

Yes!

I never want to stray, never want to sin, never want to disappoint You.

But when I do –

for sadly, I have many times –

don’t let me stay out there in the wilderness!

Bring back this wandering sheep to You!

For You are indeed loving, gracious, compassionate!

You would far rather bless me

than punish.

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
(Mark 2:9-10)

It wasn’t really about healing paralysis, was it, Jesus?

True, that’s incredibly impressive and compassionate.
It meant the world to that man.

But it was only a temporary fix.

What’s awesome

is Your forgiveness of sins.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?”
(Amos 3:6)

Most people don’t know this verse is in the Bible, Jesus.

Many who do try to explain it away.

Others reel under its implications, forced to rethink their image of You.

You’re not the old grandfather who wouldn’t harm a flea, are You?
You’re Almighty God, who pours out wrath on wrongdoers every day.

You’re loving, forgiving, kind, compassionate, merciful

…but You absolutely hate sin.
