Pray this Lazaroo with fiery determination:

“Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.”
(Isaiah 3:24-26)

So this is what a curse looks like, Jesus

Your punishment –

doled out not upon the heathen
but upon Your people, who’ve forsaken You.

Keep me true, Jesus!

May Your curse never fall on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
(Psalm 9:7-10)

You’re my Refuge, Jesus!

My Stronghold!

I know Your Name, JEHOVAH RAPHA!

You will not forsake us

for we seek You with all our hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo with re-burning zeal:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ…
(2 John 1:9)

I gave my life to You, Jesus

because You gave Your life for me.

I was determined to obey You from that moment forward.

But I haven’t.
I’ve sinned.
A lot.

I’ve confessed my sins.

I’ve forsaken them.

Only to pick them back up again.

I have no excuse – but You see it, LORD:

within the heart of my being
is a desire to continue in Your teaching.

Forgive me!
F
ill me!
Save me!

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful confidence:

“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

That’s the hardest, Jesus.

When I keep my suffering to myself
it’s not a surprise that no one comforts me.

But when my pain increases to the point that I’m forced to cry out
and still no one shows up with love and compassion

my agony is multiplied by the stunning realization
that I’m abandoned
forsaken
alone.

Except I’m not!
Hallelujah!!

I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant humility:

“…he has…sent me against the nations that have plundered you…”
(Zechariah 2:8)

That’s all I need to know, Jesus.

There will come a day when You will send Your mighty angel

to right the wrongs
to pay back evildoers
to make sure justice is served
to avenge me of my adversaries.

Of course, I don’t want that angel to visit me!

So I need to be sure that whatever wrongs I’ve committed
are confessed, repented of, forsaken, under Your blood.
