Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.”
(Isaiah 5:5-6)

I never want to turn You into my enemy, Jesus!

Please keep me close to You.
Please – never let me stray.

I choose to stay in deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You

forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted dedication:

“All these cities were fortified with high walls and with gates and bars, and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying every city—men, women and children. But all the livestock and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.”
(Deuteronomy 3:5-7)

Brutal, Jesus. Brutal.

But when You ordered it
You had a reason.

I will never stop trying to understand Your Ways…

but may I never second-guess You!

Pray this Lazaroo in compassionate urgency:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.”
(2 Peter 2:12-13)

My country’s disobedience has reached this very level, Jesus.

The God-defiant are gathering in large numbers
carousing in broad daylight.

Your judgment is on its way.

Please help me rescue as many as possible
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo…without excuse:

“We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago…But because our ancestors angered the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.”
(Ezra 5:11-12)

They knew, Jesus!

and didn’t try to hide it.

So often, we pretend we’re innocent.

We complain – as though we don’t deserve
the bad things happening to us.

But I know better.

I confess!
Have mercy on me!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“But to Jonah this seemed very wrong…”
(Jonah 4:1)

What was this horrible thing Jonah thought You did, Jesus?

He didn’t just accuse You of doing wrong
he accused You of doing very wrong.

The “awful” thing You did

was being merciful.

The people of Ninevah deserved to be destroyed.

But when they repented
because Jonah preached their doom
You relented.

May I never be upset when You treat others better than they deserve!

Your mercy
is the only reason
I’m drawing another breath.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“As you summon to a feast day, so you summoned against me terrors on every side. In the day of the Lord’s anger no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and reared my enemy has destroyed.”
(Lamentations 2:22)

We make a lethal mistake, don’t we, Jesus?

When we sin and nothing happens
we think nothing will happen.

We fail to realize You’re giving us time to repent.

But if we don’t

on a day seemingly like any other
suddenly the day of Your anger will arrive.

Pray this Lazaroo in unwavering trust:

“But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard for us to grasp the stunning reality of what You’re saying, Jesus:

You’ve placed some of the people on this planet

for the express purpose

of being examples of what happens

when we disobey You:

Anyone who repeatedly does so without repentance

will be cast into the lake of fire.

Pray this Lazaroo in totally trusting love:

“When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, the LORD our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. We completely destroyed them – men, women and children. We left no survivors.”
(Deuteronomy 2:32-34)

Our modern sensibilities can’t fathom this, Jesus –

the ruthless extermination of a whole nation of people.

But You – the God of love, forgiveness and mercy – ordered it!

So like it or not
that means it had to be done.

Pray this Lazaroo in bold, confident faith:

“That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place.”
(Deuteronomy 2:20-21)

No matter how big or how powerful my enemy, Jesus…

please help me remember:

The bigger they are

the harder they fall

when You’re the one

knocking them down.

Pray this Lazaroo with Godly skepticism:

“In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed. We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Trans-Euphrates.”
(Ezra 4:15-16)

This was a setup by the enemies of Your people, Jesus!

Next time somebody attempts to trash someone to me

remind me to ask You:

Why would they want to do that?
