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.

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 He has withdrawn his right hand at the approach of the enemy.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 excuseless humility:

“…before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

That’s the last thing I want, Jesus!

I know You’re unimaginably longsuffering.
I know You’re loving, merciful and kind.
You’re unbelievably patient with me.

But there’s a line, isn’t there?

One I’d better never cross.

The thing is, I can’t see it, can’t tell when I’m close.

So I’d better turn around now

change whatever I know needs to be corrected
while I still can.
