Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.’”
(Galatians 3:10-11)

I keep trying to do good, Jesus

and so I should.

But not to earn my salvation!

I give my all to please You
In gratitude for your gift of faith.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
(Romans 2:12-13)

I’m saved by Your gift of faith, Jesus

not by what I do or don’t do.

But evidence that I’ve received your gift of faith

is demonstrated by what I do

and don’t do.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“May you be richly rewarded by the LORD…”
(Ruth 2:12)

None of us deserves anything, Jesus!

We’re all sinners, saved only by Your grace.
Our righteous deeds are as filthy rags.

We’ve come to You, believing
trusting in Your death, burial and resurrection

not because of our own goodness
but because You granted us the gift of faith
drawing us to Yourself.

So when You reward me for some good thing I’ve done

that’s nothing less than a stunning heavenly gift!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…saved through…belief in the truth.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s not my belief, Jesus.

I can’t save myself –
not even with my own self-manufactured belief.

You’re the One who gives me the gift of faith.
I’m saved by the sanctifying work of Your Holy Spirit.

Who gives me the ability to recognize truth when I hear it?

You do.

Who gives me the ability to respond to Your truth

by gratefully turning over to You my whole life?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
(1 Corinthians 2:8)

It seems so clear to me, Jesus –

why not them?

They saw You face-to-Face, in the flesh!

…while I never have.

They were witnesses to Your miracles!

…while I’ve only read about them.

They heard You speak!

…while I still eagerly long to hear Your voice.

But You’ve granted me

the gift of faith.
