Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…with nothing to fear…The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate, filling his lairs with the kill and his dens with the prey.”
(Nahum 2:11-12)

This is imagery, Jesus.

You’re not really talking about lions.

You’re rebuking a sinful nation
who once acted like the king of beasts

but who now, because of their disobedience
have lost their fangs.

Do I live in such a country, Father?

Among a people once righteous and strong
who have forsaken You?

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 sold-out surrender:

“…to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.”
(Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1)

Belief in You, Jesus.

That’s the difference between heaven and hell.

That’s the difference between entering Your rest

and falling into a downward spiral
that leads to eternal agony!

Pray this Lazaroo with holy boldness:

“Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, ‘Why do you disobey the king’s command?’”
(Esther 3:3)

The answer was simple, Jesus:

Haman was a wicked man who did not deserve to be honored.

But that wasn’t even the biggest reason.

Mordecai wasn’t about to bow down to anyone but You.
The fact that it was the king who ordered it was irrelevant

even though it might cost Mordecai his life.

May that kind of holy courage be mine!

Keep first things first, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Another thing you do…”
(Malachi 2:13)

Just when I think I’m getting away scot-free with my disobedience, Jesus

I’m reminded that You see everything I do
hear everything I say
know everything I think.

When I repent, do You refuse to remember my sins?

Yes. You do.

HALLELUJAH!

You remove my inexcusably wicked acts
as far away from me as the east is from the west!

But the operative phrase is:

“When I repent.”

Which I’d better do.

Right now.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.”
(2 John 1:6)

We’re not to obey everything, are we, Jesus?

Obedience – all by itself – is not the goal.

There are countless people issuing orders in my direction –

presidents, governors, mayors, bosses, doctors, experts, friends, family.

When should I obey them?

When their orders are in harmony with Your commands.

When should I wisely but staunchly disobey them?

When doing so would require me to disobey You.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Fear:

“…you said, ‘I will not serve you!’”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

What a foolhardy, terrifying declaration, Jesus.
Most of us aren’t that blatant with our defiance.

We give you lip service that makes us sound righteous
until our disobedient actions reveal our words to be lies.

That’s not my intent, LORD!

I know I’ve overpromised and underperformed.
But every time I promise You something I mean it.

Please help me overcome my weakness!
I so long to obey You.
Every time.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“They displease God…”
             (1 Thessalonians 2:15)

How dare I, Jesus?

Unthinkable. Inexcusable. Indefensible.

But I have.

Dear God, I have displeased You –
more times than I can count.

That wasn’t my aim.

All I was doing…was what I wanted to do.

The reason I said what I did…
was that’s what I felt like saying.

I just wasn’t thinking.

No…that’s not quite right.
I was thinking, all right – about myself.

But not about You.

I’m truly sorry.

That changes.
Today.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes.”
(Micah 2:9)

You love the women You’ve created, Jesus –

especially those descended from Abraham.

But when they sin again and again –

rejecting You, following other gods –

they’ll pay for their disobedience
and their detestable idolatry.

Though You’ve blessed me time after time beyond measure

If I reject You and put other things and people before You
You’ll do the same to me

because You discipline those You love.

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“…he was afraid to go there.”
(Matthew 2:22)

You haven’t given me a spirit of fear, Jesus –

but a spirit of power, love, self-discipline.

There’s no place You send me

that I need fear.

But there are places You forbid me to go.

I’d blessed well better be scared to go there!

How can I expect You to protect me

when I blatantly disobey?

Lead me in Your way everlasting, Father!

And keep my britches
out of the ditches.
