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 determination:

“In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.”
(1 Timothy 3:8-10)

All these things really matter to You, don’t they, Jesus?

That’s why they matter to me.

May I live out each day
the holy life to which I’m called!

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“…we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:2)

That’s exactly who I want to be, Jesus!

Nothing under the table
Nothing shameful.

No deception.
Distortion-free.

A plain truth-teller of Your Word.

What others think matters
but the one I most want to please

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with transparent love:

“…the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them. This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.”
(Romans 2:15-16)

Our secrets, Jesus…

all of them.

Accusing…defending.

If that day hasn’t yet arrived

I suspect some of us
have had a good taste of it already.

May all my secrets

be pleasing in Your sight!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves…They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.”
(Romans 2:14-15)

I have the law, Jesus –

along with the prophets, gospels and epistles.

But I don’t want to depend solely on my conscience to apply them.

I’m relying on You, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…their minds and consciences are corrupted.”
(Titus 1:15)

Having a corrupted mind would be bad enough, Jesus…

but a corrupted conscience?
unable to feel any regret for a harmful decision?

Such a person is severely handicapped beyond recovery

unless You intervene.

But that’s what it takes for any sinner to give up control of their own life and submit totally to You!

Your supernatural intervention.

Otherwise, we’d all choose our own way.

O God!
Thank You for rescuing me.
