 Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion: 

“…they will taunt you…”
(Micah 2:4)

Is there anything rougher, Jesus?

Well, sure.
There are a lot of things worse than being made fun of.

But it’s still tough to take –

especially when the taunts appear to be true.

It’s bad enough to be down, hurting, defeated…

but when people show up to laugh about it?

Whew!

Is there any better way to shut their mouths

than when You rise up within me to come back strong?

Nope.
There isn’t.

 See if you identify with Jonah as you pray this Lazaroo 

“…the earth beneath barred me in forever…”
(Jonah 2:6)

Thank You for this glimpse into Jonah’s despair, Jesus!

He was certain he was doomed in the belly of that great fish You created to swallow him.

You put him there to punish him, to give him a little time to think

while screaming.

You’ve had to do the same for me a few times, Father –

I didn’t thank You while I was going through it

but now…
I do.

 Allow gratitude to flood your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy…”
(Obadiah 1:17)

And so it was, Jesus –

the place where sacrifices for sins were made
the place Your people gathered to worship
the dwelling place of Your Presence

a deeply holy place –

as are the places where I’ve received Your deliverance.

They’ve become holy to me.

But of all those wonderful places

none are holier to me
than Mt. Calvary

where You won my eternal salvation

on the cross.

 Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith: 

“…the horseman will not save his life.”
(Amos 2:15)

You’re my only hope, Jesus.

If things go south
I can’t hop on my horse
ride away and hide.

No horse can gallop that fast.
No hideaway can’t be found.

Except You.

You’re my deliverer.
You’re my Rock.

You’re my salvation.
You’re my rescuer – faster than a speeding bullet.

When I’m in You, no one can catch me.

When I hide myself in You
I can’t be found.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion: 

“…nothing escapes them.”
(Joel 2:3)

This is bone-chilling, Jesus.

When You send punishment
nothing escapes.

You don’t do a half-way, hit-or-miss job.
It gets done.

Punishment delivered…
in full.

But all You need is my, sincere, heartfelt apology

coupled with genuine repentance –
an about-face in my actions

to deliver me from Your wrath.

You look straight into my heart.
You see whether or not I fully intend to follow You.

That’s all it takes
for You to give me another chance.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“I will show my love…”
(Hosea 2:23)

If I have a loving emotion I don’t express, what good is it, Jesus?

You’ve taught me that love is action:

It’s patient and kind.
It doesn’t envy or boast.
It’s not proud.

It’s not rude, self-seeking or easily-angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
It rejoices in the truth, not in evil.

It always protects, trusts
hopes, perseveres.
Love never fails.

Please help me follow Your example

and show my love.

 Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul: 

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name…”
 (Revelation 2:3)

A lot of people have persevered over a long period of time, Jesus.

Many have endured unimaginable hardships.

All for naught.

What I do doesn’t matter nearly as much

as why I do it.

Whatever I do for my fame, my comfort, my pleasure

has a very short shelf life.

But when I hang in there without quitting

when I go through hell on earth

for You

the rewards are eternal.
