Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-inspired hope:

“Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

I don’t want to die, Jesus!

At least, not for that reason.

I mean, I know I’m going to die sometime –

unless You return for Your own before I do.

But may I never be so stubborn and pigheaded

that You have to take me out
to rid the earth of me.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger…”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

The king of Ninevah was right, Jesus!

That’s exactly what You did.

How many times have You done that very thing
down through the years?

When I humble myself, turn from my wicked ways

and cast myself on Your mercy

You look into my heart

see the sincerity there

and relent.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“I will overthrow chariots and their drivers…”
(Haggai 2:22)

I’m thinking of our modern chariots, Jesus –

Tanks, planes, Humvees…

It’s bad enough to crash or roll one of those…

and walk away.

So long as the driver survives…

he lives to fight another day.

But You’re saying a day will come

when You will not only destroy the vehicles
but the people inside them.

May that day come for the fierce enemies of Your people, LORD!

In Jesus’ Name!

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for Daughter Judah. He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The Lord has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest.”
(Lamentations 2:5-6)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

But may I never persist in my sin

because I’m terrified to incur Your wrath!

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“In fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.”
(Lamentations 2:3)

Oh, Jesus.

Anyone who repeatedly, unrepentantly abuses your longsuffering love can expect to experience Your fierce, all-consuming wrath!

May that never, ever be me!

Cause Your precious, amazing love to motivate me
to higher and higher levels of grateful obedience!

Pray this Lazaroo with bold determination:

“…hold to the teachings we passed on to you…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)

That’s the secret, isn’t it, Jesus?

If the priceless truths you shared with my elders are to benefit me
I’ve got to hold on to them with fierce tenacity!

The enemy of my soul will do everything he can

to pry them out of my grasp.

Then with equal fervor,

I’ve got to equip and inspire those who come after me
to hold on for dear life!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the Jews…drove us out …”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

I love the Jews, Jesus.

Not as much as You do, because no one could.
But my love for Your chosen people is fierce and strong.

Still…there were times when You were so upset with them

that You threatened to wipe them off the face of the earth.
You didn’t…but You punished them severely.

I know You love me –

enough to do whatever it takes to turn me around

when I stray.

Pray this Lazaroo with desperate desire:

“I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint.”
(Ezekiel 3:9)

Good for ramming Your unseen enemies, Jesus.

This is no game.
Not some tea party.

This no-holds-barred war against the enemy of my soul

is a brutal battle to the death.

It’s bloody. Fierce. Unbelievably hard.

It takes everything I’ve got
till I face the fact
that what I’ve got
isn’t enough.

I need You, LORD!

I’ve got to
got to
got to have You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…Jesus Christ…will be with us in…love.”
(2 John 1:3)

That’s how I want You to be with me, Jesus!

That’s how I want to be with You.

You…Are Pure Love.

Of course, there’s a fierce side of You, too.

Because pure love isn’t weak.

It’s strong, robust, powerful, formidable.

When called for – which isn’t all that rare –

it has the capacity to be ferocious –

in defense of those You love

and to arouse in them fear, wonder, awe

worship.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Whenever Israel went out to fight…”
(Judges 2:15)

It’s tempting to think this is merely a history lesson, Jesus.

I’d like to think:

“I’m so glad I don’t have to go out to fight!”

But that would be self-deception.

The truth is, I’m in the fight of my life.

The moment I put all my trust in You as my Savior

I picked up in Satan
the fiercest, most powerful enemy imaginable

who can’t hold a candle to You.
