Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…the anointing you received from him remains in you…”
(1 John 2:27)

That is so comforting, Jesus!

so good to know.

When I sin – which I sadly confess is way too often –

Satan tries to make me afraid that I’ve lost what I had with You.

That’s a terrifying thought.

But it’s not true!

You’ve promised to never leave me nor forsake me.

And though I’ve let You down countless times

I will never turn my back on You.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

Who knows? He may turn and relent…”
(Joel 2:14)

You Are Just, Jesus!

Your righteousness demands it.

You hate sin.
Sin has a penalty.

You’ve dished out that penalty countless times.

If You were only Just, though – who could stand?

We’ve all sinned
fallen short of Your glory.

But praise Your Holy Name, You’re also Merciful.

Again and again, You’ve treated us all
better than we deserve.

In behalf of those who themselves are merciful You declare:

Your tender Mercy
triumphs over judgment.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred gratitude:

“…during the time of testing in the wilderness…your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.”
(Hebrews 3:8-9)

How could they do that, Jesus?

Forty years of seeing Your love, majesty and protection
and still they tested, tried and flat-out disobeyed You countless times!

The same question could be asked of me.

After all You’ve done and continue to do for me
how dare I give You anything less than my absolute best?

Pray this Lazaroo in repentant, trusting submission:

“O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.”
(Psalms 6:1)

Amen, Jesus!

Amen! and Amen! and Amen!

I know I deserve rebuke. I’m fully aware I need to be disciplined.

But not in Your anger, please LORD!
Not while You’re full of wrath!

And You never have.

You’ve walked me to the woodshed countless times
but it’s never been as bad as I’ve deserved.

Thank You!
Thank You!

Gratefully rejoice as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the exiles from Judah…”
(Daniel 2:25)

Anytime a leader comes across an exile from Judah, Jesus

they’d be wise to give that person a second look.

Your people who’ve been torn from their homeland

still retain Your blessing wherever they go.

I’m blown away that even while You punish one of Your own

You keep blessing them.

I can testify!

Though You’ve had to discipline me countless times

I’m the grateful recipient of more blessings
than I can count.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the fierce anger of the LORD…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

I don’t like to think of You this way, Jesus

but I know it’s real.

You’re longsuffering, slow to anger, abounding in love…

but there’s a line.

When one of Your children repeatedly, willfully, unapologetically crosses it

You make certain they realize
that they have done a foolish thing.

I’ve known Your well-deserved discipline countless times, LORD

but never Your wrath.

With Your help

I’d like to keep it that way.
