Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.’”
(John 1:49)

I’ve had moments like that too, Jesus!

When You’ve done something for me that never could have happened

had You not answered my fervent prayers.

Of course, when I testify about Your provision to others

not all of them are convinced.
In their minds, some attempt to explain it away.

But I know.

And You know.

And that’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?”
(Amos 3:6)

Most people don’t know this verse is in the Bible, Jesus.

Many who do try to explain it away.

Others reel under its implications, forced to rethink their image of You.

You’re not the old grandfather who wouldn’t harm a flea, are You?
You’re Almighty God, who pours out wrath on wrongdoers every day.

You’re loving, forgiving, kind, compassionate, merciful

…but You absolutely hate sin.

Beg God for spiritual sight, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.”
(1 Corinthians 2:5)

Better indeed, Jesus.

Human wisdom is limited.
Your power is limitless.

We can raise questions all day and into the night.

But when You raise the dead
heal the sick
break an addiction
restore the broken
save a soul

only the spiritually blind can disbelieve.

Doubters can always find a way
to explain it away.

But the one who experiences it

knows.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Praise be to the name of God…He reveals…hidden things…”
(Daniel 2:20, 22)

It’s useless to try to hide something from You, Jesus.

Can’t be done.
You know everything I think, say and do.

Not only can I not hide anything.

I can’t justify it
excuse it
evade it
spin it
explain it away.

If I thought it/said it/did it
I’m accountable for it

unless I confess it and forsake it
       in which case, in Your eyes
              it never happened.
