Ask God for grace, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…so they may become like me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

Jeremiah wasn’t asking You to make his enemies wealthy, Jesus.

He wasn’t asking You to make them strong.
He wasn’t asking You to make them happy.

Jeremiah was pleading with You to make his enemies miserable!

…because that’s what He was.

I sure understand why he felt that way.

It’s incredibly hard to watch my enemies dance over my misfortune.

But You’ve given me a new command:

Love my enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“If you have any encouragement…”
(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.

Some days I don’t.

I’m so focused on the one or two things I don’t like

that I fail to see the innumerable evidences
of Your love, mercy and grace.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“…God…raised him from the dead…”
(1 Peter 1:21)

That’s what You did for Jesus, Father

and because of my faith in Him
that’s what You’ll do for me.

Yes, He deserved it

I don’t.

Your Son is perfect.

I’m still stumbling, falling
getting back up
trying to figure it out.

So when I stand before You one day and hear You say:

“Well done!”

There’s only word for that moment:

Grace.

By the power of Your Name, Jesus!

Amen.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.”
(Jonah 2:8)

Well, that’s just not an option for me, Jesus.

I need Your grace!

I don’t want what I deserve.

I know what I’ve “earned”
with my sin, shortcomings, rebellion, disobedience.

I’m doing my best to turn it around.
I’m giving it all I’ve got.

But what I’ve got
isn’t enough.

I still – inexcusably – mess up.

Which is why I so desperately
need Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“He was…revealed in these last times…”
(1 Peter 1:20)

For nearly two thousand years we’ve celebrated Your coming, Jesus!

All of history – and all our hopes –
hinge on the perfect timing of Your arrival.

Before You came, we faced the fact
that try though we might
we could not save ourselves.

Now that You’ve come
we fall on our faces in gratitude
because we don’t have to save ourselves.

That’s what You did on the cross

for all who believe.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“For it is by grace you have been saved…”
(Ephesians 2:8)

I believe that with all my heart, Jesus!

The easy part to believe in is Your grace.

Over and over again
You treat me better than I deserve.

G.R.A.C.E. –
God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

The hard part for me to get my head around is that I’m really and truly saved!

I know what I am.
I know what my sins deserve.

I’m rescued only…only…only…

by Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…the incomparable riches of his grace…”
(Ephesians 2:7)

It’s true, Jesus.

There’s no comparison to being forgiven for inexcusable crimes
and treated instead like sinless royalty.

Who does that?

Only You.

The rest of the world wants revenge, justice, payback

while You went to the cross to give us the only way out
a stunning opportunity to escape scot-free!

But why? Why? Why would You treat us like this?

There can be only one answer:

Your baffling, incomprehensible love.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“Grace…from God…”
(2 John 1:3)

Thank You for grace, Jesus!

You – treating me better than my sins deserve.

G.R.A.C.E.

God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense

I still can’t fully comprehend what it cost You

to make my eternity in heaven a gift.

But it had to be!

Because try as I might
I could never earn it.

May I never take for granted

what You did for me
     what You do for me
          what You’re about to do for me.
