Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones. He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead. He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.”
(Lamentations 3:4-7)

Jeremiah is talking about You, Jesus.

He believed in You.
He obeyed You.

And He knew exactly Who Is In Charge of Everything –

even the most brutal challenges of life.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.”
(Luke 1:80)

Just like John the Baptist, Jesus

I want to grow in You!
I want to become strong in spirit!

In short, I want to become everything You’ve created me to be!

But that means I have to deliberately carve out time to do what he did

and get away for Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
1on1 relationship with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.”
(1 John 2:22)

That clears up a few things, Jesus.

The atheist is a liar.

So when the atheist marshals their arguments against You

underneath every statement, every carefully-chosen fact
is hidden a deeply ugly secret:

The atheist isn’t seeking truth.

The atheist is desperately searching for a way
to escape Your authority over their life.

But their attempts are futile.

For one day soon they will stand before You

condemned.

Pray this Lazaroo with heightened intensity:

“…be like a gazelle…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Lover talk, Jesus.

Good stuff. Wow.

But as with most of this fascinating book

there’s a spiritual application too, isn’t there?

I can’t match the gazelle’s 50 mph speed –

almost, but not quite as fast as the cheetah –

which loves to dine on gazelle.

But maybe I can match the gazelle’s intensity

as it attempts to elude its hunter.

O Great God:

Enable me to escape from Satan’s relentless pursuit!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your being:

“…to escape the clutches of ruin!”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

That’s certainly what I desire, Jesus!

Disappointments, losses, hard times and setbacks are one thing.
Ruin…hangs around a little longer.

However: Anyone who foolishly attempts to escape the clutches of ruin in their own strength

is cursed, marked, doomed to failure –

not only on this earth
but eternally.

There is only one way to escape the clutches of utter, total, permanent ruin:

Trust in You.
Trust in You.
Trust in You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?”
(Amos 3:5)

I think I can answer that one, Jesus:

No. Not usually.

If my own sin has trapped me, show me exactly where I’ve misstepped

so I can repent, stop doing it and escape!

But if You’re the one who’s put me in a position where I can’t move

in order to get my attention and teach me something?

You’ve succeeded.
I’m all ears.

Pray this Lazaroo in steely commitment:

“Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!”
(Zechariah 2:7)

That pretty much says it, Jesus.

The Daughter of Babylon is where I live.

I hear You:

“Escape!”

But how am I going to do that?

Sure, I can leave this country…
but where am I going to go?

There’s not a nation on earth

that isn’t acting like a Daughter of Babylon.

When I escape, it won’t be with my feet

but with my head and my heart.
