Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“‘How gladly would I treat you like my children and give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation. I thought you would call me “Father” and not turn away from following me. But like a woman unfaithful to her husband, so you, Israel, have been unfaithful to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:19-20)

I have no intention of turning away from You, Jesus!

Not ever.

It is my desire to remain faithful to You

every moment
of every hour
of every day

until You call me home to be with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in trembling awareness:

“The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”
(Zechariah 5:4)

Pretty scary, Jesus.

So…what are You going to send out?

That flying scroll that carries a curse.

Is that flying scroll hovering above the earth right now?

…above my country…my family…

…above me?

If so, only this will prevent it from entering:

Repentance and Obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“‘In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘people will no longer say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.’”
(Jeremiah 3:16)

Well one thing’s for certain, Jesus:

These are not those days.

We still remember Your ark.
There are many who miss it.

But Your Presence has moved beyond that ark

to indwell each of us who believe
by Your Holy Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever. As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.’”
(Micah 4:6-8)


You love us too much, don’t You, Jesus?

We deserve so much worse.
But You give us so much better.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“‘Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,’ declares the Lord.”
(Obadiah 1:4)

You said it, Jesus:

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

I can testify!

You’ve had to drop me to my knees.
More than once.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Again and again and again
You’ve lifted me back up!

May I never forget:

The way to stay up
is to stay down.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.’”
(Jeremiah 3:14-15)

You know those who are Yours, Jesus –

no matter where we are
no matter what label has been placed on us
no matter what anyone thinks.

Look into my heart and see my love for You!

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“‘Therefore, as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When only a remnant of survivors is left, Jesus

common sense says they’re probably finished.

But You supersede common sense!

You achieve the impossible through Your holy people!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.

Tremble in Awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…‘as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah’…”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When You say, “…as surely as I live,” Jesus

it’s a done deal!

because You are more Alive
than all the rest of us put together.

You’re the Living One!

You’ve Always Been
You Are
You’ll Always Be.

Everything and everyone who draws a breath on this planet –

or anywhere else in Your vast creation

received their life from You.
