Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.”
(Proverbs 4:13-15)

As instructions go, Jesus

this is one of the best:

protecting me from horrific consequences
on earth…and eternally.

Help me hold on to this instruction and never let it go!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Does [the LORD] do such things?”
(Micah 2:7)

Unbelieving people accuse You of doing so much wrong, Jesus.

But is that what You do?

No!

Because it’s not who You are.

Do You punish wrong? Yes –

though not as our sins deserve.

Are You unfair in Your judgments? Absolutely not.

Instead, just the opposite – You are uncomprehendingly merciful.

Is there an eternal hell that awaits all evildoers? Certainly –

along with an eternal, glorious heaven
for every sinner who repents.

Pray this Lazaroo without illusion:

“Not a word from their mouth can be trusted…”
(Psalms 5:9)

Some people believe everyone is good at heart, Jesus.

If only that were true!

But it isn’t.

Some people are bad to the bone.

They refuse to do right
resisting every effort to help them turn around.

They take delight
in doing what You abhor.

They’re never happier

than when they’re harming one of Your people
or leading one more gullible person astray.

Keep them away from me!

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant humility:

“…he has…sent me against the nations that have plundered you…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

That’s all I need to know, Jesus.

There will come a day when You will send Your mighty angel

to right the wrongs
to pay back evildoers
to make sure justice is served
to avenge me of my adversaries.

Of course, I don’t want that angel to visit me!

So I need to be sure that whatever wrongs I’ve committed
are confessed, repented of, forsaken, under Your blood.

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.

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.
