Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…by his grace…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

Nothing else, Jesus.

There’s no other way under heaven
that I could ever go to heaven.

By Your grace alone.

Not by my greatest effort.
Not by my most selfless sacrifice.
Not by my sincerest attempts to please You.

Only by Your grace

will I rise from death to share eternity with You
and all the saints who’ve gone before.

Grace! Grace! Your matchless grace!
Grace that is greater than all my sin.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing gratitude:

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”
(Philemon 1:25)

When my spirit is low, Jesus

it affects everything I think, say and do.

It dramatically and negatively affects

all the people who come
into contact with me
including those I love and need the most.

But when I realize I’m the recipient of Your loving, unmerited grace

my spirits begin to lift!
I have hope!

which in turn raises the spirits
of everyone around me.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ…”
(Ephesians 3:2-4)

You revealed this mystery to Paul, Jesus

so he could explain how, in dying for my sins

and rising from the dead

You’ve secured for me a home with You

forever in heaven!

Oh, Jesus.

Your grace.

Your loving, perfect, immeasurable

matchless grace.

Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.
Even the worst ones.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

wholly undeserved.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
(Galatians 2:21)

Paul’s passionate for a reason, Jesus:

You’re the one speaking this truth through him!

I should do my best to live an absolutely holy life.

But no matter how hard I try, I’ll always fall short.

It’s Your grace – the loving price You paid for me on the cross

then rising from the dead –

that is my one, sure hope.

Pray this Lazaroo in bursting-with-joy gratitude:

“The grace…”
(Philemon 1:25)

Your grace, Jesus!

What You did for us on the cross –

dying for sins You didn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t commit.

The guiltiest among us freely pardoned –

going scot-free!

The exact opposite of justice.
Absolutely nothing fair about it.

G.R.A.C.E.: “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense!”

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I would never complain that I’m not getting what I deserve.

I don’t want what I deserve!

What I want is Your Total, Ineradicable, Undeserved, Unmerited

Matchless Grace!

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“If a member of the community sins unintentionally…he is guilty.”
(Leviticus 4:27)

Wow, Jesus.

That…sounds harsh.

I mean…if a person didn’t mean to do anything wrong…

…You know?

But on second thought, I guess I understand.

Wrong is wrong…whether I knew it or not.
I either did it…or didn’t do it.

Whether or not I meant to do it
it’s still done –

and I’m the one who did it.

I’ll tell you one thing:

I am so GRATEFUL for Your grace!

(Philippians 2:1)

I do have encouragement, Jesus!

And I know where it comes from:

You.

Satan is the discourager.

You’re the Encourager.

Every day – in countless ways –

You show Yourself strong for me.

Of course, I have to have eyes to see it.

that I fail to see the innumerable evidences

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The metal on the chariots flashes…”
(Nahum 2:3)

It’s happening in broad daylight, Jesus

and there’s not one thing the Ninevites can do about it.
This punishment is from You.

Why?

It was their cruelty, wasn’t it?
their witchcraft and prostitution.

You sent your prophet Jonah to warn them.

They listened! Repented!
You relented.

But after You showed them kindness

they went right back to it.

O God!

May I never repeat their mistake
in response to Your grace.
