Pray this Lazaroo in happy anticipation:

“So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.”
(Genesis 3:23-24)

What a heartbreak, Jesus!

We’ve been mourning that loss ever since.

But in heaven –

for those of us who’ve placed our trust in You –

that longing will be fulfilled!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving dedication:

“If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.”
(1 Corinthians 3:12-13)

You know when I’m following You with my whole heart, Jesus.

But when I stay true to you through the fire –

temptations, trials, disasters, heartbreak –

everybody else can see it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked….”
(Judges 2:17)

What a devastating outcome, Jesus!

These people were taught right.
They had good examples set before them.

Their parents hadn’t failed.

They had.

They couldn’t wait to throw off the restraints of righteousness

hurrying to leave the safe, narrow path.

Instead, they lusted after the broad, popular path of wickedness.

Rejecting their heritage
they plunged themselves into the inescapable consequences

of the dark, hellish pit.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Declare them guilty, O God!”
(Psalms 5:10)

David didn’t pray this prayer over people who’ve merely slipped, Jesus.

When I run into one of those, I beg You to forgive them,
pick them up, teach them, give them another chance.

After all…that’s what You keep doing for me.

But David has run into a few pathological liars

whose souls are wicked to the core.

He knows the heartbreak, ugliness and devastation that bunch can cause

…and so do You.

Brace yourself, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent’s side, and they fell down together.”
(2 Samuel 2:16)

The worst part about this tragedy, Jesus

is that everyone who died in this senseless carnage

belonged to You –
descendants of Your servant Abraham.

What percentage of the time do I spend fighting the real enemy of my soul

and how much time do I waste

criticizing and arguing with

my Christian brothers and sisters?

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“…they will set it on fire and consume it.”
(Obadiah 1:18)

To have who I am and everything I stand for set on fire would be bad enough, Jesus

but to be consumed?

to have it all destroyed, leaving no trace?

Heartbreak.
Irredeemable tragedy.

That is the unavoidable, inescapable, certain future

for everyone who rejects You.

Not me, LORD!

I accept, trust, believe in, embrace and adore You!

which means my future is as bright

as Your amazing promises.
