Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
(Proverbs 3:6)

I do acknowledge You, Jesus.

But that’s not what the verse says.

I’m to acknowledge You in all my ways.

Only then do You promise to make my paths straight.

To acknowledge You isn’t merely to give You lip service, either.

It’s to admit that You’re the only one who knows.

It’s to confess that I can’t truly fulfill my purpose on earth

without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…whom we confess.”
(Hebrews 3:1)

Okay, Jesus…

I confess that I know You –

not as well as I should
but enough to love You with all my heart.

I confess that I need You!

Because of my sins, I was on my to hell
before You saved me.

I confess that I’m not living for You as I should –

but that I’m giving it all I’ve got
to become everything You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled zeal:

“I have been most rebellious.”
(Lamentations 1:20)

That’s quite a confession, Jesus…

especially because of who’s making it.

This is no rapist, murderer, pillager, criminal.

The great prophet Jeremiah is speaking!

He’s the one who faithfully obeyed You throughout his life –

and suffered greatly for it.

He’s the one You appointed over nations and kingdoms –

to tear down, destroy, build and plant.

If he could be this humble and self-aware of his sins

who am I to be less?
