Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Awake! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, ‘We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!’”
(Isaiah 4:1)

Sin doesn’t end in triumph, Jesus

but in humiliation.

Satan packs all his pleasures into the first moments of my disobedience

then leaves me hurting, disgraced, bankrupt.

How many times do I have to see this outcome of temptation

before I reject it?

Be comforted! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed! The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.”
(Habakkuk 2:16)

This is Your promise, Jesus:

The day is coming

when You will repay every unrepentant, evil person
for the devastation they have caused!

When I see one of them getting away with it

please remind me:

They aren’t.

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Since that’s what You’re looking for, Jesus

that’s who I long to be.

There’s only one problem:

I’ve got a long way to go.

Make that a long, long, long way to go.

But no matter how many times I fall short, landing on my face in disgrace

I’m going to keep trying…and trying…and trying…

leaning on You, Holy Spirit
all the way

until my faith
becomes sight.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them. The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God.”
(Micah 3:6-7)

That’s the price of disobedience, isn’t it, Jesus?

The miracles disappear.
The true prophets come up empty.

All that’s left are false prophets
who prophesy the delusions of their own minds.

O LORD!

Send a revival!
Send a revival!
Send a revival!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?”
(Galatians 3:1)

Well, there’s no question about that, is there, Jesus?

There’s only one who bewitches Your dearly-loved people:

the deceiver behind every deception
the head witch himself: Satan.

To my shame and disgrace

he’s succeeded in bewitching me a few times.

But thanks be to You, O LORD!

You rescued me from his clutches!

May I remain in deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with You

so he’ll never bamboozle me again.

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They are…arrogant…”
(Romans 1:29-30)

Arrogance is pretty hard to stomach, Jesus.

When I see it, I cringe.

Sadly, it almost always shows up in those You’ve blessed!

Instead of realizing their gifts, skills and triumphs are from You
they believe it’s all because of them.

They think it’s due to their hard work, their brilliance
their superiority over others

which sets them up for Your inevitable punishment

and their disgrace.

May I never, ever – ever!

follow in their footsteps.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…disgrace will not overtake us.”
(Micah 2:6)

Those sound a lot like famous last words, Jesus.

None of us knows what the future holds.

In this case, they couldn’t have been more wrong.

Your prophets had warned them of the disaster that was coming
if they refused to change their ways and follow You.

But they were unwilling to listen.

No, I don’t know what my future holds.

But of this much I’m certain:

I know Who holds my future.
