Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“…we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:2)

That’s exactly who I want to be, Jesus!

Nothing under the table
Nothing shameful.

No deception.
Distortion-free.

A plain truth-teller of Your Word.

What others think matters
but the one I most want to please

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?”
(Galatians 3:1)

Well, there’s no question about that, is there, Jesus?

There’s only one who bewitches Your dearly-loved people:

the deceiver behind every deception
the head witch himself: Satan.

To my shame and disgrace

he’s succeeded in bewitching me a few times.

But thanks be to You, O LORD!

You rescued me from his clutches!

May I remain in deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with You

so he’ll never bamboozle me again.

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 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 in utter trust:

“They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them.”
(Judges 2:12)

That’s the danger of hanging around the wrong people, isn’t it, Jesus?

That the gods they worship –

success, fame, money
sex, drugs, alcohol
sport, entertainment, popularity –

might entice me to follow them, rather than You.

Fool move?

Yup.

Their gods are no gods at all.

But the more time I spend in their world of smoke and mirrors

the deeper I sink into the quicksand of their lies.

 Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led discernment:: 

“And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet…”
(Matthew 2:15)

Thank You for true prophets, Jesus –

all the more because charlatans
still roam the streets.

Perhaps the most dangerous are those who believe they’re truly hearing from You

when in fact, they’re prophesying the delusions of their own minds.

They mislead many, because in their mistaken sincerity
they could pass a lie detector test.

Protect me, Father!

May I never fall under their spell.
