Pray this Lazaroo with utter humility:

“‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God, you have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:12-13)

It’s when I refuse to acknowledge my guilt

that You continue to frown on me, isn’t it, Jesus?

Well, let me take care of that right now:

I’m guilty!
My sins are horrific!

I have no excuse.
None.

Please be merciful to me, a sinner.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Prepare a guest room for me…”
(Philemon 1:22)

Ha! The Apostle Paul invited himself right over, didn’t he, Jesus?

Not only was he writing them a letter
asking them to lovingly forgive their runaway worker

now he calls in a few favors
reminding them that they owe him their very lives.

Wow. Paul pulls out all the stops –

in behalf of someone little regarded by the world
but precious in Your sight.

May I go and do likewise.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“But why am I so favored…?”
(Luke 1:43)

There’s a simple, life-changing answer to Elizabeth’s question, Jesus:

“Because that’s who You are!”

It’s not only Elizabeth who’s favored.

I’m favored, too!
as is everyone who calls on Your Name.

If I have eyes to see it, Your favor is everywhere I look:

in the obvious blessings that just “happen” to come my way
in the blessings You secret within trials, heartaches and pain.

O God!

Why am I so favored?
