Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Who knows? God may yet relent…”
(Jonah 3:9)

Even after the prophet Jonah delivered Your declaration of doom, Jesus

Ninevah’s king rallied his people with the hope of Your mercy.

For good reason:
Your mercy is legendary!

Yes, You punish willful, stubbornly repetitive sin.

But it breaks Your heart when You have to do it.
You give us chance after chance after chance to repent.

Even after You pronounce judgment

there’s always hope that You will relent
if we change our wicked ways.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with a heart that hungers for God:

“…I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people…”
(Ephesians 3:8)

Paul knew the murderous evil he had done, Jesus.

He knew You were aware of it, too

along with countless others.

His reputation among some of Your followers was great

but for good reason
others of Your people hated and feared him.

Sometimes a person’s past behavior gives them away

but with others it’s all in the past.

O Holy Spirit!
How I need Your discernment!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”
(Genesis 3:15)

No truer words have ever been spoken, Jesus.

Most of us hate snakes – and for good reason!

Snakes bite more than five million people every year

resulting in well over 300,000 amputations or disabilities
and more than 100,000 deaths –

which doesn’t begin to compare to the spiritual damage

caused by the enemy of our souls.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound…”
(Ezekiel 3:12)

That would get my attention, Jesus!

For good reason.

It wasn’t a wagon, a rock or a herd of animals.
It was the sound of the wings of supernatural beings!

Shivers. Terror. Awe. Goose bumps.

I’ve never heard that sound Ezekiel heard

but You led him to share it with me so I could imagine it.

But not only imagine it.
Anticipate it!

…when I join him in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…whom God has hedged in?”
(Job 3:23)

Job hated what was happening, Jesus –

and for good reason!
He was in horrific pain.

But there was an underlying issue, wasn’t there?

He didn’t like being “hedged in” –
realizing You had put him in a place

from which there was no escape.

We human beings love our freedom, don’t we?

But problems arise when I abuse my freedom
which, if left unchecked, will ruin my life.

O God!
Hedge me in!
