Pray this Lazaroo with steely determination:

“…save others by snatching them from the fire…”
(Jude 1:23)

I’m thinking of three ways to save people, Jesus:

1. Encourage them to develop a Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You.

2. Warn them not to sin.

3. Go after them and rescue them when they’re steeped in wrongdoing.

That last is the hardest.

People who are up to their ears in evil seldom want to hear about You.

But because You command me to do it

I will!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.”
(3 John 1:10)

That may be the hardest defense to pull off, Jesus:

defending myself.

The moment I open my mouth, I’m suspect.

After all, the number of guilty people who protest their innocence is legendary.

I have to face the fact that I will never be able

to completely convince people of my innocence.

But You can.

You’re my only hope!
My reputation depends on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Go now…”
(Ezekiel 3:11)

Waiting is one of the hardest things I do, Jesus.

The moment You show me something You want to do through me
I’m eager to launch!

But the “when” is as important as the “what,” isn’t it?

Your timing is crucial.

If I go too soon – before You tell me to –

I’ll fail, because I’ll be doing it in my strength, not Yours.

So I wait…and wait…and wait…

until You say, “1/23GO!”

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful confidence:

“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

That’s the hardest, Jesus.

When I keep my suffering to myself
it’s not a surprise that no one comforts me.

But when my pain increases to the point that I’m forced to cry out
and still no one shows up with love and compassion

my agony is multiplied by the stunning realization
that I’m abandoned
forsaken
alone.

Except I’m not!
Hallelujah!!

I have You.
