Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, ‘The person who does these things will live by them.’”
(Galatians 3:12)

If I was counting on my obedience to Your law to save me, Jesus

I’d be doomed to hell.

To say I fall short is not only to state the obvious.
It’s the understatement of the century.

It’s not because I don’t care.

I try with all my might to please You…

and then I don’t.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart

for Your gift of faith!

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
(1 Peter 2:10)

Once I was lost, Jesus

but now I’m found.

by You.

Of course, You knew me the whole time – even before I was born

even before You created the world.

I was the clueless one.

I was the one who was lost and on my way to hell
because I didn’t have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with true understanding:

“In your teaching show…seriousness…”
(Titus 2:7)

Yes, Jesus! Absolutely.

A good bit of teaching Your Word has to show seriousness.

This isn’t just life or death.
It’s eternal life or death!

The reality of heaven and hell is as serious as it gets.

But a teacher can use serious humor to make a point
as You did so many times in Your teaching.

A sourpuss who can’t crack a smile
and who has no sense of humor

will find it very hard
to hold their listeners’ attention.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.”
(Hebrews 3:18-19; 4:1)

Belief in You, Jesus.

That’s the difference between heaven and hell.

That’s the difference between entering Your rest

and falling into a downward spiral
that leads to eternal agony!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The Lord said to Satan, ‘The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?’”
(Zechariah 3:2)

Me too, Jesus.

That’s what I am –

“…a burning stick snatched from the fire.”

I was on my way to hell

trapped in my sins

when You rescued me!

You rebuked Satan in my behalf by Your death on the cross

then rising from the dead on the third day!

Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition…”
(Philippians 2:3)

That’s a tall order, Jesus!

Oh, not because I don’t agree.
But because selfish ambition is so hard to recognize.

Oh, not all that hard to recognize in others.
But devilishly hard to recognize in myself.

I used the right word, didn’t I?

Selfish ambition comes straight from the pits of hell.

O God!

Forgive me for every self-centered thought and act!

Purify my ambition!
May I desire Your will

and Your will alone.

(2 Peter 2:4)

That’s a lot of angels, Jesus

an incredible number of cells in those gloomy dungeons
all of them writhing in unspeakable torment
awaiting certain, eternal judgment.

Just thinking about it gives me the willies.

I’m so thankful my trust in You changes my destination
from hell to heaven!

Please give me the courage

to warn others.

Pray this Lazaroo with gratitude, all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…he cannot disown himself.”
(2 Timothy 2:13)

Do I deserve to be kicked out of Your Church, Jesus?

Yes.
You’re perfect and I’m not.

Do I deserve to be excluded from heaven?

Yes.
You’re sinless.
I’m sinful.

Do I deserve to spend eternity in hell?

Absolutely.
I have knowingly, premeditatedly sinned.
Many times.

But I remain in Your Church. I’m going to heaven, not hell!

I put my trust in You alone.

You and I
are joined at the heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

Some people say they’d rather party in hell with the sinners, Jesus

than be bored to death in heaven with the saints.

But You add that in those gloomy dungeons

“the worms that eat them do not die,
and the fire is not quenched.”

How blind they are, Jesus!

Hell is nonstop, eternal agony.
The party’s in heaven.
