Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“You have wearied the Lord with your words. ‘How have we wearied him?’ you ask. By saying, ‘All who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord, and he is pleased with them…’”
(Malachi 2:17)

To forgive me, Jesus

is a totally different thing
than being pleased with me.

The first happens after I’ve sinned and confessed it.

The second happens when I’ve refused to sin
and remain faithful.

I’m grateful beyond words for Your forgiveness!

But I’d rather You be pleased.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble anticipation:

“…you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life…”
(Revelation 3:4-5)

Unlike those in Sardis, Jesus…

I’ve soiled my clothes.
I’ve sinned.

But I’ve cried out to You!

I’ve confessed, repented
put all my trust in You.

Great God of mercy:

Clothe me in white!

Pray this Lazaroo with re-burning zeal:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ…
(2 John 1:9)

I gave my life to You, Jesus

because You gave Your life for me.

I was determined to obey You from that moment forward.

But I haven’t.
I’ve sinned.
A lot.

I’ve confessed my sins.

I’ve forsaken them.

Only to pick them back up again.

I have no excuse – but You see it, LORD:

within the heart of my being
is a desire to continue in Your teaching.

Forgive me!
Fill me!
Save me!

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

“Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: ‘You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.’”
(Matthew 3:6-8)

John the Baptist didn’t mince words, Jesus!

When all is said and done
more is said than done.

Words are cheap.

I’ve got to back mine up with action.

Pray this Lazaroo in Spirit-led recognition:

“The man said, ‘The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then the LORD God said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:12-13)

We insist it’s someone else’s fault, Jesus.

Even though it isn’t.

No matter what the temptation, the threat, the incentive, the circumstances

if I said it or did it, it’s my fault.

Period.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“As you have heard from the beginning…”
(2 John 1:6)

I’m thinking back to my beginning with You, Jesus!

The day when You drew me to Yourself.
The moment when I realized I believed!

The prayer I prayed, confessing my sinfulness
asking You to forgive me, to save me

to enter my life and lead me wherever You desire
all the way to heaven.

I’m still on that journey!

Closer than ever
trusting You every step of the way.

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?

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant humility:

“…he has…sent me against the nations that have plundered you…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

That’s all I need to know, Jesus.

There will come a day when You will send Your mighty angel

to right the wrongs
to pay back evildoers
to make sure justice is served
to avenge me of my adversaries.

Of course, I don’t want that angel to visit me!

So I need to be sure that whatever wrongs I’ve committed
are confessed, repented of, forsaken, under Your blood.
