Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?”
(Romans 2:4)

I can’t keep on sinning, can I, Jesus?

Yes, You’re loving, merciful, longsuffering, forgiving…

but that doesn’t mean You wouldn’t harm a flea.

You’re also powerful, majestic, holy, righteous!

You will not forever tolerate willful sin.

Help me overcome my sin

so I can live the New Life

You purchased for me on the cross!

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.

Be overcome with gratitude as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…if we are faithless, he will remain faithful…”
(2 Timothy 2:13)

Could there ever be greater evidence of Your love, Jesus?

Of Your mercy?
Of Your forgiveness?
Of Your kindness?
Of Your patience?
Of Your longsuffering?

Or of Your sovereignty!

Another way to look at it is that nothing I do
can change what You do
nor who You are!

You are faithful. Period.

That’s what I, too, as Your grateful follower
with all my heart aspire to be.
