Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; the Israelites, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin; Judah also stumbles with them. When they go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children.”
(Hosea 5:5-7)

When we keep sinning – especially when we know better, Jesus –

You withdraw from us.

I can’t afford that, LORD!
I need You too desperately.

Please help me stay faithful to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”
(Psalm 8:6-8)

It’s hard to believe You’re talking about me, Jesus…

but You are.

I’m one of those You appointed to be a ruler over the works of Your hands!

In that case
I’d better step it up a notch.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth.”
(Jonah 3:7-8)

First of all, that’s downright impressive, Jesus.

I’ve never heard of covering animals with sackcloth.
None of the people’s sins was the animals’ fault!

Clearly, this king was over-the-top humbling himself before You.

No wonder You relented!

That’s an example I need to keep in mind.

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.”
(Jonah 3:7)

Why would the king of Ninevah issue such a harsh decree, Jesus?

It was because of Jonah’s preaching, wasn’t it?

After You forced him to show up in that wicked city
You declared You were about to destroy them.

The king took You at Your Word and went all out to change your mind.

How seriously do I take Your warnings?
