Pray this Lazaroo in Bible-led caution:

“They have become filled with every kind of…depravity.”
(Romans 1:29)

What a heartbreak, Jesus!

And what a danger.

Those who are giving themselves wholeheartedly to You can scarcely imagine the evil that lurks in the hearts of some.

They innocently think of them as good people who’ve made mistakes.

But it’s worse than that.

The infection coursing through their veins is lethal.

Even so, we cannot give up on them.

How can we?
You never gave up on us.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“They are detestable…”
(Titus 1:16)

A lot of things are detestable, Jesus…as are a lot of actions.

But this time You’re not talking about those.
You’re referring to detestable people.

There are those who insist all people are good

who from time-to-time slip up.

That’s true enough about good people.

But it misses the reality:

Some people aren’t good.
They’re bad to the bone and proud of it.

I beg You, LORD!
Help me see them coming a mile away.

Be on your guard, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They have become filled with every kind of wickedness…”
(Romans 1:29)

It’s hard to imagine that people like this actually exist, Jesus

until I run into one of them.

At first, I can’t believe it.
I keep thinking I’m overreacting.

But the longer it goes
the more it’s confirmed.

Once my eyes are opened, I do my best to warn others

to no avail.
They can’t believe it either.

O God!

Deliver them and me
from those evil clutches.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered awe::

“…he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under…”
(Matthew 2:16)

No wonder You destroyed this man, Jesus!

He ordered the slaughter of innocents
in an attempt to keep Himself from being overthrown

by You.

To no avail.

When his time came, You took him down
in a manner befitting the ugliness of his evil soul.

As You will do to all evildoers

who fail to sincerely repent.

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

“…welcome him…”
(Philemon 1:17)

Some people are easy to welcome, Jesus.

They’re outgoing, gracious, humble, fun.

Other people…not so much.

They’re surly, selfish, egotistic.
Some are downright mean, devious, evil.

Do You want me to welcome everybody?

No, You don’t.

You tell me to have nothing to do with some of them

not even eat with them.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t change.

With You, all things are possible.

My prayer?

In heaven

that You will welcome me.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise anticipation:

“They will beat their swords into plowshares…”
(Isaiah 2:4)

That’s a wonderful thing to do with a sword, Jesus –

reshape it into a tool that digs in the ground
rather than into a human being

turn a megaton bomb into a megawatt power station
retool a lethal dagger into a life-saving scalpel.

Sounds good.

We need to keep working on that.

But until evil is eliminated from the earth
good people need to keep a few swords handy

just in case.
