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

“When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’ The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn. My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.”
(Job 7:4-6)

We need good sleep, Jesus.

We need good health.

But under Satan’s attack we may enjoy neither.

It’s so easy to feel hopeless like Job.
But I trust in You to rescue me!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…remember that at that time you were…without hope and without God in the world.”
(Ephesians 2:12)

It’s vital to remember that, Jesus!

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my problems
that I’m tempted to envy the lifestyles of unbelievers.

That’s when I most need to recall what it was like when I was in the same boat they’re in.

It was downright ugly!

I never want to return to the empty, hopeless existence

that is life without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them…”
(Judges 2:15)

I can’t imagine a worse position, Jesus!

It’s hard enough to win – under any circumstance.

But to enter a battle knowing You’re against me?

Utterly useless. Fruitless. Worthless.
The very definition of pointless.

The only battles I want to fight are for You, in You

not against You.

Please, LORD!

Show me what I have to do to get on Your side
and never leave it.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…their minds and consciences are corrupted.”
(Titus 1:15)

Having a corrupted mind would be bad enough, Jesus…

but a corrupted conscience?
unable to feel any regret for a harmful decision?

Such a person is severely handicapped beyond recovery

unless You intervene.

But that’s what it takes for any sinner to give up control of their own life and submit totally to You!

Your supernatural intervention.

Otherwise, we’d all choose our own way.

O God!
Thank You for rescuing me.

Pray this Lazaroo and be flooded with hope:

“They are…twice dead.”
(Jude 1:3)

Can’t get much worse than that, Jesus.

Not only were they dead to You now…

You knew their future:

They would remain dead to You eternally.

All of that while they were still moving, acting, breathing!

Dead people walking.

How many of those around me are twice dead, Father?

It’s not always apparent, is it?

Some of those who look most alive are corpses.

And some who look impossibly hopeless
You will utterly transform.
