Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“Now Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let’s go out to the field.’ While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’”
(Genesis 4:8-9)

Cain struck out, Jesus:

He deceived his brother.
He killed his brother.
He lied to God.

But I’ve struck out more times than Cain.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’”
(Obadiah 1:3)

When I ask myself a question, Jesus

I’m asking the wrong person.

I would do well to ask the wise –

or even better, to ask You –

through openhearted, open-minded study of Your Word

and in fervent, ready-to-receive Your answer prayer!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

I might think I’ve found a little hidey-hole, Jesus

a place where I can do what I want to do

unseen by others
safe from all harm.

But if I think that, I don’t know You.

You. See.
You. Know.

There isn’t anywhere I can go to hide from You.

So next time I head to my hideout

help me think, say and do
only what brings honor to You!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

“Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.”

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Watch out! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh…”
(2 John 1:7)

On the one hand, I don’t blame them, Jesus.

Your coming to this world as a 100% human baby

was a stunner.

No wonder we’ve created an entire holiday called, “Christmas”

to celebrate Your virgin birth!

But these are not sincere truth seekers, Father.

They’re deceivers.

Which means they’re not contradicting Your Word because they’re confused

but in order to manipulate others to their own advantage.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“The woman said, ‘The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’”
(Genesis 3:13)

Who among us cannot identify with those words, Jesus?

Not one.

Every human being on earth old enough to know right from wrong

knows what it is to be deceived by Satan
and to give in to temptation.

I’d do well to remember that my soul has an enemy and a name:

Satan!

So that in the strength of Your superior Name

I can tell him:

“NO!”

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…rid yourselves of…all deceit…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

I hate being deceived, Jesus!

I long to take people at their word.

It’s so much work to study their body language
and facial giveaways.

I fervently wish I lived in a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” world.

But I don’t.

So that means I have to be a good evaluator, doesn’t it?

Except…some people are really good deceivers.

Looks like I need to tap into one of Your priceless treasures –

the supernatural gift of discernment.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast hope:

“…the God of Abraham…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Abraham had flaws, Jesus.

He argued with You.

He was so afraid You wouldn’t protect him

that He told everyone his beautiful wife was his sister
and allowed her to be taken by another man to be his wife.

Twice.

But You chose him anyway

to be the founding father of Your great nation of Israel.

Like Abraham, I too am flawed, Father!

But You’ve chosen me anyway.
Use me for Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-led caution:

“…with their tongue they speak deceit.”
(Psalms 5:9)

I don’t want to believe there are people like this, Jesus.

I’d rather think they accidentally misspoke.
I prefer to believe they didn’t mean what they said.

Perhaps that’s why You mention the terrible practice of deceit

more than 100 times in Your Word.

I have to remove my rose-colored glasses, don’t I?

The evidence all around me is too great to ignore.

Open my eyes to those whose tongues speak deceit!

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit caution:

“They are full of…deceit…”
(Romans 1:29)

A deceiver is a scary person, Jesus.

You’re not just talking about someone who does it occasionally, are You?

A person who is full of deceit
lives by deceit.

Everything they say is meant to deceive
even when there’s no discernible reason to do it.

I can spot some deceivers a mile away, Holy Spirit.

but other deceivers are professionals.

I won’t ever see them coming

unless You give me a heads up.
