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?

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, overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you, and none will be left.’”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

It’s one thing to be defeated in battle, Jesus

to be shamed and disgraced
taken captive, reduced to slavery.

But this time it was worse.

The Philistines so infuriated You with their blatant idolatry
that You threatened to annihilate them

leaving no survivors.

That’s what my sins deserve.

But instead of wrath –

through the cross –

You’ve offered me mercy!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, ‘It’s no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.’ As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets.”
(Jeremiah 2:25-26)

I don’t have to sin, Jesus!

No matter how many times I’ve caved in to Satan’s temptation

Your power is still mine

to say NO!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Also, the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have cracked your skull.”
(Jeremiah 2:16)

Total humiliation, Jesus.

It was not as though all of Egypt had attacked Israel.

All it took was a couple of cities
to bring Your chosen ones to their knees.

You broke Egypt to set Your people free

but because those You rescued
enslaved themselves to idols

the vanquished became conquerors.

Which is precisely what happens to me

when I choose anything or anyone over You.
