Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

Who knows? He may turn and relent…”
(Joel 2:14)

You Are Just, Jesus!

Your righteousness demands it.

You hate sin.
Sin has a penalty.

You’ve dished out that penalty countless times.

If You were only Just, though – who could stand?

We’ve all sinned
fallen short of Your glory.

But praise Your Holy Name, You’re also Merciful.

Again and again, You’ve treated us all
better than we deserve.

In behalf of those who themselves are merciful You declare:

Your tender Mercy
triumphs over judgment.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the pur (that is, the lot) was cast in the presence of Haman to select a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.”
(Esther 3:7)

Haman was superstitiously seeking the perfect time to harm Your people, Jesus.

But You’re the One who guided the lot and turned it against him!

Guide my every decision LORD –
for Your eternal glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

That’s wild, Jesus!

To share in Your glory?

How can human beings do that?

We absolutely don’t deserve it.
Not even the best of us.

Especially not the worst of us –
the category to which I belong.

But that’s Your love, Your outrageous kindness

Your overwhelming generosity!

Nor are we to keep Your glory to ourselves.

We’re to make sure others get in on it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast hope:

“…the God of Abraham…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Abraham had flaws, Jesus.

He argued with You.

He was so afraid You wouldn’t protect him

that He told everyone his beautiful wife was his sister
and allowed her to be taken by another man to be his wife.

Twice.

But You chose him anyway

to be the founding father of Your great nation of Israel.

Like Abraham, I too am flawed, Father!

But You’ve chosen me anyway.
Use me for Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…God…calls you into his…glory.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:12)

That’s hard for me to grasp, Jesus.

Your glory is blindingly great
marvelous, magnificent
beyond adequate description.

To be told You’re calling me into that?

Surely not
Not I.

Not this filthy, sinning, slipping and falling soul.

And yet…

How can I refuse You anything?
How dare I miss what You’ve prepared for me?

Too often I’ve played the fool.

But not this time.

If You’re calling, I’m coming.

Yes.
Oh, yes!
