Pray this Lazaroo in solemn awareness:

“…the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.”
(2 Chronicles 5:14)

There comes a time when what I do for You is no longer as important

as experiencing You, Jesus!

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment

1on1 with You.

Maybe that time is more often than I think.

Maybe that time is always.

Maybe that time is now.

If I don’t have that, then God help me…

I have nothing.

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. You came back and wept before the Lord, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.”
(Deuteronomy 1:44-45)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus

but there comes a day when I will ignore You for the last time.

And then…God help me!

You’ll ignore me.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted surrender:

“If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales! It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas—no wonder my words have been impetuous.”
(Job 6:2-3)

We’re all able to find excuses for our behavior, Jesus.

Oh yeah.
I have a ton of ‘em!

We might be able to sell them to some people

but nobody’s fooling You.

Rather than excuses

please help me obey You –

no matter what it takes!

Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
(Genesis 3:11)

Yes, I have, Jesus.

God help me!
Yes, I have.

As Adam did when You asked him this question

I’m tempted to explain why I did it.

But I’m not going to bother.

You’d recognize it for what it is:
An embarrassingly weak excuse.

I know what happened to Adam and Eve.

Please help me change!
Don’t kick me out of the garden.

Rejoice! as you pray your Lazaroo on this glorious Christmas day:

“…boasting of what we have and do…”
(1 John 2:16)

Why do we do that, Jesus?

Everything we have or do comes from You!

Better question:

Why do I do that?

Because – God help me! – I do.

I guess it’s because I want people to think well of me.

But why? I’m nothing but a dirty, rotten sinner saved by grace.

Your outrageous, inconceivable love

is the only reason my punishment in hell
has been switched to eternal joy in heaven.

Take a clear-eyed look, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…children who do not yet know good from bad…”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

Those have to be some pretty young kids, Jesus

because most little ones catch on awfully quick.

Oh, they may not understand why something is good or bad

but even as babies they can immediately tell
when their mothers and fathers are pleased or displeased.

You’ve made it clear:

A child’s character is revealed
by what they do.

So is mine.
God help me, so is mine.

Sunday, March 31, 2019

 

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…a chasing after the wind.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:17)

What a perfect picture of futility You’ve given me, Jesus.

Show me everywhere in my life I’m doing this.

Help me stop!

Did I say, “my” life?

God help me.

It’s not mine.
It’s Yours.

Forgetting that is what sets me off
on another wind-chasing waste of time.

Chasing after the wind is NOT going after something too big.

In Your power, there’s no such thing.

It’s failing to check with You first.
