Pray this Lazaroo in full devotion:

“They all march in line, not swerving from their course.”
(Joel 2:7)

If locusts can do that, Jesus…

why can’t I?

Oh, I do well for a while…

then all of a sudden, I swerve
leave the lane You’ve marked out for me.

Do I make it back on course?

Sure. Here I am, talking with You right now
and grateful to be doing it.

But I would really like to mature to the point

where I never stray.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…make atonement for the sins of the people.”
(Hebrews 2:17)

I’m one of those people, Jesus!

I’m so sorry that You had to make atonement for me.
But I’m grateful beyond words that You did.

I wish the atonement required was only money, service –

anything other than what it actually was:

Your life.

But I couldn’t pay off my own debt!
My sins had bankrupted me.

My only hope was a completely sinless life given in my place.

Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
(Amos 3:2)

What a vital reminder, Jesus!

With great blessing
comes proportionate responsibility.

Of those who’ve been given much
much will be demanded.

Of course, You shouldn’t have to demand it.

With gratitude, it should be freely given.

I’ve been blessed with more than I can begin to comprehend!

How dare I give You less
than my all?

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“…he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.”
(Esther 2:17)

Interesting, Jesus.

You needed Esther on the throne to save Your people.
Vashti had to go.

You could have killed Vashti.

Instead, You let her take a moral stand

which she took and lost her throne
while keeping her dignity.

Was Vashti grateful?

Probably no more than I am when You do me a kindness
and I, heartbroken, view it as punishment.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy caution:

“…like death [he] is never satisfied…”
(Habakkuk 2:5)

What a scary place to be, Jesus!

No matter how much success he enjoyed
it would never be enough.

No matter how much money he made
he would always crave more.

No matter how much love he received
he would never feel loved enough.

May that never be said of me!

May it never be true of me.

Teach me to be full, happy, content

with the blessings You’ve showered upon me.
