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

“My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?”
(Psalms 6:3)

How many times have I been there, Jesus?

You alone know.
It’s too many for me to count.

But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

It reminds me that in Your perfect way and time
You rose up and showed Yourself strong!

I don’t have to tell You –

my soul remains in anguish about some things
and especially some people.

But I know:
You’ll come through.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you surround [the righteous] with your favor as with a shield.”
(Psalms 5:12)

What a promise, Jesus! What incredible assurance!

If only I were righteous.

I don’t have to tell You: I’m a sinner.

You’re the one who’s righteous.
I’m the one who’s not.

Except…

because I put all my faith and trust and hope in You
and because You’ve forgiven every sin I’ve ever committed…

am I now standing –

not in my own righteousness –

but in Yours?

Oh, hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Confident of your obedience…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I wish You could be confident of mine, Jesus!

I wish my friends and family could be.
I wish I could be.

But I’m not.

Oh, I’m confident of my good intentions.

You know all about those, too.

I sure do mean well.

But my follow-through needs some work.

I don’t have to tell You that last statement was an understatement.

My follow-through needs a lot of work.

Help me. Please.
Help me.
