Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted acceptance:

“…it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.”
(1 Peter 2:15-17)

You know how hard it is to obey those last three words, Jesus!

Especially when I despise their words and actions.

But You have Your reasons.

Bottom line?
That’s good enough for me.

Passionately call on God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.”
(Nehemiah 4:4-5)

You hear the prayer of Your desperate followers who are doing Your will, Jesus!

I qualify as desperate.

Now I just need to make sure I’m following You

and doing exactly what You’ve called me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…they realized they were naked; so they sowed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.”
(Genesis 3:7)

That’s what happens every time I sin, Jesus.

First the shame
then the cover-up.

Sin must be covered

because it’s so foul!

I could attempt to cover my sin

with lies, excuses, misdirection
trying to change the subject –

all for naught.

The only way sin can ever be covered

is by sincere repentance
trusting in Your shed blood on the cross.
