Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only true God:

“…there were also false prophets among the people…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

Always have been, Jesus.

Way back in the day…
all the way to this very moment.

Some of them have wanted so badly to hear from You

that they’ve ended up deceiving themselves

actually believing that what they’re spouting originated with You

instead of in the dark recesses of their deluded minds.

Others are fakes, charlatans, phonies.

They’re lying to the gullible
and they know it.

Spare me, Father!

Be watchful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…unfit for doing anything good.”
(Titus 1:16)

It’s hard to imagine anyone that awful, Jesus…

but they’re out there.

Every good thing they appear to do

has a hidden agenda.

They attempt to lull me to sleep by displaying their seemingly upright actions

steal my trust
so they can take lethal advantage of me.

Sometimes I see them coming a mile away

but only You can protect me from the ones
who are, even now
way too close.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with…every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

May evil never deceive me, Jesus!

Of course, it has
too often.

But even while I partook of its lies, sampled Satan’s wares

I knew better.

When I’m tempted to sin, You continue to warn me

when I give in to temptation, You convict me

which is why I pray:

May evil never again deceive me!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…she took some and ate it.”
(Genesis 3:6)

No!

No! No! No!

Is that what You said when Eve bit the forbidden fruit, Jesus?

Was that the cry of Your holy angels
when she caved in to Satan’s temptation?

Better question:

Is that how You feel when I do the same?

When I read about Adam and Eve’s fall

I shake my head in sorrow.

“Why can’t they see what a foolish thing they’re doing?”

Then the thought:

“Why can’t I?”

Pray this Lazaroo in self-awareness:

“…he deceives himself…”
(James 1:26)

Is this the worst kind of deception, Jesus?

If not, it’s awfully close.

When somebody else deceives me, it’s tough enough

but at least I can identify the culprit
evaluate how I got duped
learn from my mistake.

But when I deceive myself I’ve got no one else to blame.

It’s much tougher to admit I’m the culprit

You’re my only hope, Holy Spirit!

Open my eyes
wise me up

Protect me from myself.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened…”
(Genesis 3:5)

In some ways, Jesus…

a half-truth is worse than a whole lie.

A half-truth borrows from what is good and perverts it.

A boldfaced lie, at least, keeps its dirty mitts off of the truth.

Just as he did to Eve in the garden

Satan loves to tell me half-truths.

When he does, please remind me:

Eve bit…and got kicked out of Your garden.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“Wisdom will save you…from men…who are devious in their ways.”
(Proverbs 2:12, 15)

Just as Herod lied to the magi claiming he wanted to worship You, Jesus

so there will be those who attempt to deceive me –

some of whom will hide behind seemingly “holy” purposes to do it.

It’s one thing to be able to tell that’s what’s going on…

quite another to have sufficient wisdom to know what to do about it.

That’s where You come in, isn’t it? 😉
