Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!”
(Nahum 3:2)

Sounds I don’t want to hear, Jesus!

Sounds of my impending doom
for all the sins I’ve committed against You.

There’s no denying.

There have been many.
They’re what I deserve.

But they’re not what I want!

Forgive me, LORD!
Rescue me!

Do not hold against me the sins of my past
nor the sins of this very hour.

In Your mercy

Give me my second billionth chance.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…Hymenaeus and Philetus…have departed from the truth.”
(2 Timothy 2:17-18)

Why would they do that, Jesus?

Truth is a beautiful thing.

It creates crystal clarity
shedding brilliant light in the darkness.

Even when the truth reveals what we don’t want to hear or see

it dispels lies, wishful thinking, illusion
showing us how to respond appropriately.

Your Word is Truth.

You Are Truth.

Make me a lover of the Truth

all the days of my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with Golden Rule Godliness:

“How painful are honest words!”
(Job 6:25)

That’s so true, Jesus.

Honest words can be incredibly painful –

Especially when I’m telling someone
something they don’t want to hear
but need to hear.

Help me be honest with everyone!

But also…

help me be kind.

There’s a way to tell a hard truth
using soft, encouraging, uplifting, hope-filled words

and to do so with a humble spirit
in mutual respect

telling others the truth
the way I want it told to me.
