Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…turn around and set out toward the desert…”
(Deuteronomy 1:40)

That was a hard instruction to hear, Jesus.

Your people had been headed toward the Promised Land.
But their spies convinced the majority they couldn’t succeed.

So You told them to do an about face
and head back into the desert.

I, too, have encountered a few of Your instructions that are hard to hear.

But O God! Hard or no –

may there be none I’m unwilling to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

That’s the last thing I want, Jesus!

I know You’re unimaginably longsuffering.
I know You’re loving, merciful and kind.
You’re unbelievably patient with me.

But there’s a line, isn’t there?

One I’d better never cross.

The thing is, I can’t see it, can’t tell when I’m close.

So I’d better turn around now

change whatever I know needs to be corrected
while I still can.
