Pray this Lazaroo with unbounded gratitude:

“Can reeds thrive without water? While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. What they trust in is fragile; what they rely on is a spider’s web.”
(Job 8:11-14)

My trust is in You, Jesus.

You’re the only one who will never fail.

Thank You for rescuing me from the spider’s web

that traps all who are destined for destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgement:

“‘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.’ This is what they will get in return for their pride…”
(Zephaniah 2:9-10)

Solomon said it, Jesus:

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

Sadly, he experienced it.

So will I, unless I remember:
You are the Giver of my gifts.

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 from the depths of your heart:

“When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.”
(Jonah 3:10)

That’s what I’ve had to do times beyond counting, Jesus:

turn from my evil ways!

I don’t know why I keep having to do that.

You would think I’d learn by now:

Leaving Your path never pays.

But I marvel at the fact that no matter how many times I have to repent

You are faithful to forgive!

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

“Mordecai told him…the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther…and… instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy.”
(Esther 4:7-8)

When Satan attacks, Jesus

give me the wisdom and clarity of mind

to know exactly what to do

to defeat him and win the victory!
