Pray this Lazaroo in wisdom, self-control and total trust:

“…forfeiting your life.”
(Habakkuk 2:10)

That seems incomprehensible, Jesus!

Why would anyone forfeit his life?
Why would she throw away something so precious?

But people do it all the time. Why?

Because Your gracious gift of life can become soiled, feel ruined

by sin…pain…sickness…fear…hatred…loss.

And in the darkness that our emotions and Satan himself brings

people can lose hope
abandon perspective
think irrationally

act hastily…foolishly.

But You’re the Giver of life!

My life is not my own to take.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble trust:

“They are full of…malice.”
(Romans 1:29)

Protect me from enemies like this, Jesus!

Some people unintentionally cause harm.
Not these people.

They do it on purpose.
They plan it.

Those who are full of malice seethe with hatred, evil intent
fully intending to do harm to those they despise.

They delight in the suffering of others
proud of the fact that they’re the ones who caused it.

If one of them aims his arrows at me

break his bow.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They are full of…murder…”
(Romans 1:29)

No matter how much I detest what someone does, Jesus

I can’t allow myself to give in to the runaway passion

that leads to murder.

It isn’t between them and me.

It’s between You and me.

I’ve got to believe in my heart that if someone needs killing

You’ll do it –
in the right way and time

never forgetting that I myself deserve death for my sins

but for Your incomparable, outrageous mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…whoever hates his brother…does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.”
(1 John 2:11)

It’s the pitch black darkness of hate that blinds them, Jesus!

The non-haters can see clearly what’s happening
but the hater doesn’t have a clue.

The hater believes he is fully justified to despise everything about the person he hates

unable to see the myriad of good qualities You’ve built into them.

Fill me with love, LORD!
Open my eyes.

Pray this Lazaroo with grateful heart:

“…peace from God.”
(2 John 1:3)

Where else is it going to come from, Jesus…

if not from You?

This world doesn’t offer peace.

The best it offers is a cessation of hostilities.

But even then, it’s temporary –
more like an opportunity to plan the next attack.

It’s all surface, too

the anger, jealousies, hatred and bitterness
simmering underneath.

In wonderful contrast, Your peace is real, lasting, deep.

World peace is an illusion.
In You alone I find peace.

Pray this Lazaroo with concern:

“…whoever hates his brother is in the darkness…”
(1 John 2:11)

Sometimes I become so upset at what someone has said or done, Jesus

that I come dangerously close to hating them for it.

Not good. So I call it by a different name:

I say I “dislike” them
I “can’t stand” them
I “want nothing to do” with them.

Maybe that’s all it is.

But maybe it isn’t

which may explain some of this darkness I now battle.

Open your heart to the love of God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.”
(1 John 2:9)

Apparently…

hating my brother is not something You approve, Jesus

seeing as how You not only died for me

but also my brother.

Last time I checked

fathers don’t take too kindly
to those who hate their children.

What do I do with these negative emotions?

Please!

Teach me to love them
with the love You have for me.
