Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the incomparable riches of his grace…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

It’s true, Jesus.

There’s no comparison to being forgiven for inexcusable crimes
and treated instead like sinless royalty.

Who does that?

Only You.

The rest of the world wants revenge, justice, payback

while You went to the cross to give us the only way out
a stunning opportunity to escape scot-free!

But why? Why? Why would You treat us like this?

There can be only one answer:

Your baffling, incomprehensible love.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…the cooing of doves is heard in our land.”
(Song of Songs 2:12)

How beautiful, Jesus…

the soothing, healing, peaceful song of the dove

a sign that winter had passed

that spring had come.

During Jesus’ baptism

You descended on Him like a dove, Holy Spirit

signifying that the long winter of our slavery to sin had passed

that the Savior of the world had come
bringing the warming springtime of love, hope and forgiveness

to my weary, frostbitten soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 4:20)

Forgiveness is an awesome thing, Jesus.

That’s the only reason I’m able to spend this 1on1 time with You.

So why is it so hard for me to be happy that You’re willing to forgive those who’ve deeply hurt me?

I know I’m supposed to.
And I try.

But the idea of them getting away scot free for what they did to me

galls me.

Help me!

I want to forgive like You.

 Pray this Lazaroo in tearful gratitude: 

“…the one who now holds it back…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:7)

Praise Your holy, loving, merciful, powerful Name, LORD Jesus!

for being the God who “holds it back.”

Just as You held back the waters of the Red Sea so Your people could safely cross

You hold back the punishment due me for my sins
You hold back the evil that threatens to destroy me

You hold back the exposure of my worst flaws
that would cause everyone around me to withdraw in disgust.
