Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.”
(Song of Songs 4:9)

You have stolen my heart, Jesus!

with one Promise from Your Word

followed by a thousand more

with Your death on the cross for me

followed by Your resurrection
and the certainty that because You live
I will live forever with You also.

Correction:

You didn’t steal my heart.
It was Yours before time began.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The Lord said to Satan, ‘The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?’”
(Zechariah 3:2)

Me too, Jesus.

That’s what I am –

“…a burning stick snatched from the fire.”

I was on my way to hell

trapped in my sins

when You rescued me!

You rebuked Satan in my behalf by Your death on the cross

then rising from the dead on the third day!

Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…loved by the Lord…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Still blows my mind, Father!

Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so.

Why, Jesus?

How can You love a sinner like me?

Because of the evil I’ve done

Your love for me cost You Your life
an ugly, excruciatingly painful, humiliating

death on the cross.

They laughed at You, taunted You, ridiculed You
slapped You, beat You, despised You

because of me.

Your incomprehensible love!

demands mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“It is a sin offering.”
(Leviticus 4:24)

The goat had to die, Jesus

because of the leader’s sin.

You no longer give us that command.

Your death on the cross
pays for our sins in full.

Your resurrection

proves You have the power and authority
to forgive every sin.

But how many of Your people have ended up scapegoats

for their leader’s sin?

O God!

Give us leaders after Your own heart
full of compassion for Your people.
