Pray this Lazaroo in life-changing belief:

“But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
(Romans 3:21-23)

I cannot thank You enough for this, Jesus!

By the standards of the Law, I was condemned to hell.

But because I believe in You –

your death, burial and resurrection –

I have eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, ‘The person who does these things will live by them.’”
(Galatians 3:12)

If I was counting on my obedience to Your law to save me, Jesus

I’d be doomed to hell.

To say I fall short is not only to state the obvious.
It’s the understatement of the century.

It’s not because I don’t care.

I try with all my might to please You…

and then I don’t.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart

for Your gift of faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Since that’s what You’re looking for, Jesus

that’s who I long to be.

There’s only one problem:

I’ve got a long way to go.

Make that a long, long, long way to go.

But no matter how many times I fall short, landing on my face in disgrace

I’m going to keep trying…and trying…and trying…

leaning on You, Holy Spirit
all the way

until my faith
becomes sight.

Pray this Lazaroo in deep gratitude for the cross:

“You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.”
(Galatians 2:14)

Peter had embraced Your good news, Jesus!

He was no longer living under the law.
He had faced the fact that he kept falling short.

Instead, he was now living under grace –
trusting You alone as His Savior.

But when some of the old crowd showed up

he reverted to his old ways
and Paul, in Your courage –

nailed him for it.

Pray this Lazaroo in honest self-assessment:

“These people are…faultfinders…”
(Jude 1:16)

Okay, Jesus –

When my job is quality control
I have to find and report every fault! 😉

But when it comes to my relationships with others?

What they need most from me is encouragement
not relentless criticism.

How often do Your people fall short because of discouragement –

especially when somebody comes along
and nitpicks them to death?

Why would I ever do that?

Maybe because I’d rather find fault in others
than in myself.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…to present you holy in his sight…”
(Colossians 1:22)

We’re talking about a miracle, Jesus.

I don’t see how I could look holy in anyone’s sight
especially Yours.

But if that’s Your goal, it has to be mine.

Except I can’t.

I don’t mean I refuse.

I mean that no matter how hard I try
I fall short.

If I’m ever to appear holy in Your Father’s sight

it will have to be because He sees You
in me.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“O God of my fathers: You have given me…power…”
(Daniel 2:23)

I know that’s true, Jesus.

But I also know I’m not tapping into its full force.

You promised I’d be able to do even greater things

than You did on earth.

I believe You!

But I have yet to see it.

Why?

It has to be for the same reason Your disciples fell short:

my lack of faith.

O God – You know I believe!

Please help my unbelief.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…that we may live…in all godliness…”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

I would love to like that, Jesus!

In fact, I try.
And fail.

I’m not even sure what living in all godliness looks like.

But what I do know of it
I’m not doing.

Not completely.
Not consistently.

I want to. I mean to.

And still fall short.

I’ll never quit trying! You deserve my best.

But unless You show up in love, mercy and forgiveness
it won’t get done.
