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!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The pride of your heart has deceived you…”
(Obadiah 1:3)

Pride will do that, Jesus.

The moment I get to thinking it’s all me

and forget that everything I have is from You

I’ve committed the same fatal mistake as Your angel Lucifer

who lost his place in heaven.

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

May I never forget:

You’re the Giver of every good and perfect gift!

I’m the totally, wholly, utterly

unworthy recipient.

Better think twice, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…your destruction of animals will terrify you.”
(Habakkuk 2:17)

Seriously, Jesus?

Who cares that much about animals?

You do.

That means I’d be wise to care about them, too.

But a whole lot of people don’t.

They forget:

You’re their Creator!

which makes it a dangerous thing to ignore.

When You create

You’re invested.
You intend to fulfill Your purpose.

It would be a very good idea for me

to discover Your purpose for Your creation
and do my best to honor it.

Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“The couriers went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered.”
(Esther 3:15)

The deadly plot Haman hatched against Your people

quickly spread throughout the kingdom, Jesus

leaving fear in its wake.

No matter!

What you had planned for Haman and all like him

was about to backfire

and bring about their total destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of God:

“Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.”
(Hosea 4:17-19)

After repeated willful sin

there comes a point of no return, doesn’t there, Jesus?

when a person – even an entire nation –
are joined to their idols in unholy matrimony

till death and destruction come
and they perish together.

“Woe to you who live by the sea, you Kerethite people; the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you’…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

How does Your Word turn against me, Jesus?

It’s when I turn against Your Word, isn’t it?
That’s when utter destruction comes.

I’ll never turn against Your Word, Holy Father!

It’s a lamp to my feet
a light for my path
my comfort in great sorrow

my sure promise of eternal life.

(Ezekiel 3:14)

It’s seldom a good idea to go anywhere when I’m bitter, Jesus.

Even less so with an angry spirit.

But when You’re the one whose strong hand is creating both

look out, sin-ridden destination!

They’re about to find out what You can do to disrupt and destroy

through Your unworthy, chosen instrument.

Use me, LORD!
Use me!
