Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots!”
(Nahum 3:2)

Sounds I don’t want to hear, Jesus!

Sounds of my impending doom
for all the sins I’ve committed against You.

There’s no denying.

There have been many.
They’re what I deserve.

But they’re not what I want!

Forgive me, LORD!
Rescue me!

Do not hold against me the sins of my past
nor the sins of this very hour.

In Your mercy

Give me my second billionth chance.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.”
(James 3:3-4)

You’re talking about my tongue, Jesus.

It’s a tiny part of me

but because it’s like the bit in a horse’s mouth
or the rudder on a huge ship

I surrender my tongue to You!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“‘I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:10)

When these things happen to us, Jesus

we think You’ve abandoned us.

But no! You haven’t!

You’re shaking us awake
getting our attention

inciting us to return to You
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.”
(Haggai 2:22)

When You punish my enemies who are attacking me, Jesus

You do so with devastating power!

Not only that – I don’t have to defend myself.

You’re Able to turn them against one another!

Please help me remember that

next time I’m tempted to retaliate.

Be very careful, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…horses and their riders will fall…”
(Haggai 2:22)

A rider on a horse may feel safer, Jesus, almost invincible.

The horse raises them up high off the ground
making them feel above it all.

The horse is faster than soldiers on foot
able to race away from danger.

But it’s an illusion, isn’t it?

A rider on a horse is a bigger target

and the bigger they are
the harder they fall.

Maybe I’d better stay humble

and not get up on my high horse.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“They have the appearance of horses…”
(Joel 2:4)

I can see the resemblance between a horse and a locust, Jesus…

sort of…
if I squint.

But these weren’t normal locusts, were they?

You sent them to strip away every blade of vegetation
growing in the land of Your people.

As Creator, all power is Yours.

You had the ability to give these locusts
any appearance You wished

and You exercised it.

May I never anger You as they did.
