Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“The LORD will…again choose…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

When I’ve done what I shouldn’t have, Jesus

sinning against You

when my sins have forced You to discipline me

bringing me pain, sorrow, suffering, excruciating regret

it can feel like You and I will never be close again
that I’ve forever lost the precious intimacy we had –

until, in repentance, I look up in happy, near disbelief

to realize You choose once again

to experience deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with me.

Pray this Lazaroo in repentant, trusting submission:

“O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.”
(Psalms 6:1)

Amen, Jesus!

Amen! and Amen! and Amen!

I know I deserve rebuke. I’m fully aware I need to be disciplined.

But not in Your anger, please LORD!
Not while You’re full of wrath!

And You never have.

You’ve walked me to the woodshed countless times
but it’s never been as bad as I’ve deserved.

Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank You!

Gratefully rejoice as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the exiles from Judah…”
(Daniel 2:25)

Anytime a leader comes across an exile from Judah, Jesus

they’d be wise to give that person a second look.

Your people who’ve been torn from their homeland

still retain Your blessing wherever they go.

I’m blown away that even while You punish one of Your own

You keep blessing them.

I can testify!

Though You’ve had to discipline me countless times

I’m the grateful recipient of more blessings
than I can count.
