Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing gratitude:

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.”
(Joel 2:13)

O Jesus!

Yes!

I never want to stray, never want to sin, never want to disappoint You.

But when I do –

for sadly, I have many times –

don’t let me stay out there in the wilderness!

Bring back this wandering sheep to You!

For You are indeed loving, gracious, compassionate!

You would far rather bless me

than punish.

Pray this Lazaroo with antennae up:

“…if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people…”
(2 Peter 2:5)

I think I can see where this is going, Jesus.

You’re pointing out the punishment
You were forced to mete out years ago

to remind me that You’re the same
yesterday, today and forever.

Yes, You’re slow to anger.

But if I mistake Your loving patience for weakness

I will discover to my sorrow
that my sins will find me out.

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn determination:

“How the Lord has covered Daughter Zion with the cloud of his anger!”
(Lamentations 2:1)

That’s not the kind of cloud cover I want to be under, Jesus.

If there’s one thing I know
You’re slow to anger.

If You weren’t
I’d have been fried a long time ago.

So when You’re covering a person – or a whole group of people –

with a cloud of Your anger

that tells me they’ve been trying Your patience

for a very long time.
