 Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal: 

“Therefore, as it is written…”
(1 Corinthians 1:31)

That settles it for me, Jesus!

If it’s in Your Word
I’m doing it.

Period.

Of course I should attempt to understand why!

You love explaining things to me.
I love figuring them out.

(Although I wonder how many things I’ve “figured out”
are a total miss.)

Which acknowledges the elephant in the room:

I want to faithfully obey Your Word
but first I have to understand it.

O Holy Spirit…

help me!

 Pray this Lazaroo in faithful allegiance: 

“…the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.”
(Judges 2:11)

How could this happen, Jesus –

especially to Your people?

They decided You were the God to turn to in times of crises

but Baal was the god of everyday life
whom they could worship with temple prostitutes.

But You’re not only the God who can part the Red Sea

You’re also the God of my morning, noon and night

the Friend

who sticks closer than a brother.

 Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God: 

“Men committed indecent acts with other men…”
(Romans 1:27)

You just lay it right out there, don’t You, Jesus?

As with heterosexual sin, Your Word makes it clear:
homosexual acts aren’t new.

You detested that perversion thousands of years ago
and continue to do so today.

For a while, homosexuality went underground.

No longer.

Today it’s out and proud

doing its best to become mainstream
recognized as a civil right

just as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

 Pray this Lazaroo from an obedient heart: 

“This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us unless…”
(Joshua 2:17-18)

There’s always a catch, isn’t there, Jesus?

Every time I hear something wonderful
there’s fine print.

Every promise
comes with strings attached.

We celebrate Your “unconditional love”
because we don’t want to face a stubborn fact:

Hell exists.

No, I can’t earn heaven.

But if I want heaven to be my home
neither can I refuse to believe:

that You are God the Son who died for my sins
and rose from the grave.

 Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith: 

“…all of you who live in Jerusalem…”
(Acts 2:14)

What an honor to live in Your chosen city, Jesus!

What a privilege
what a responsibility

what danger.

Countless millions hate Jerusalem, Father!

what she stands for
along with the people who live there.

Again and again throughout history she has been the center of attention.

But because You love her

there is coming a day when what happens within her borders
will determine the future of the world.

Think again…as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God…”
(Deuteronomy 1:32)

Unthinkable, Jesus!

You created the heavens and earth
parted the Red Sea.

You were born to a virgin
healed the sick, cast out demons

In love, You gave Your life for me on the cross
rose from the dead

so then, like a spoiled child who doesn’t always get his way because he doesn’t begin to know what’s best for him

I don’t trust You with this?

Unthinkable.

 Pray this Lazaroo with eyes of faith: 

“…he saw Jesus passing by…”
(John 1:36)

I do want to see You, Jesus!

but not passing by.

I long to see You walking toward me

a big grin on Your face
Your arms open wide to give me a bear hug

ready to get an excited, scrufty cub hug right back. 😉

Now that I think about it…looking back on my life…

that scene has been repeated over and over and over again.

Wow.

Thank You!
