Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“’…if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband…May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen. So be it.’”
(Numbers 5:20-22)

It’s great to know when I’m innocent of the charges against me, Jesus

and terrifying when I know I’m guilty.

Human beings may guess wrong

But You never do

because You’re not guessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with total focus:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says…”
(Haggai 1:2)

Those seven words, Jesus

should make every person on the planet come to attention.

We’re sick to death of hearing the opinions of human beings.

We’ve got to hear from You!

Human beings guess…suppose…surmise…assume…speculate.

You Know.

When You explain something

That’s the way it is.

When You say something is going to happen

it does.

When You make a promise

You keep it.

When You say, “You’re forgiven!”

I am.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In [Jesus Christ our Lord] and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
(Ephesians 3:12)

Not beside You, Jesus…

in You.

Not through faith in myself…

but only through faith in You.

It is in You and through faith in You that the great barrier between human beings and God can be crossed.

It was our sin that created that barrier.
Okay. In my case, it’s my sin.
Mine.

But You died in my place on the cross

so I could enjoy You with freedom and confidence!

Pray this Lazaroo in overwhelmed gratitude:

“…what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.”
(Psalm 8:4-5)

Yes, You did, Jesus –

because You love us.
You created us in Your Image.

And because we sinned against You – every last one of us!

You came to this earth to pay for our sins with Your own Life

so we could live with You forever.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Moses said…‘I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.’ The Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?’”
(Exodus 4:10-11)

Please forgive me, Jesus

for all the times I’ve pulled out that same lame excuse

and told You why I couldn’t do what You’ve told me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo in unrestrained adoration:

“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?”
(Psalm 8:1, 3-4)

My jaw drops in wonder when I look into starry sky, Jesus!

But even that can’t compare

to the overwhelming awe

of realizing

You

love

me!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not mere human beings?”
(1 Corinthians 3:3-4)

I can’t stop being human, Jesus.

But because of You living in me

I no longer have to be
merely human!

And I won’t be…

so long as the only One I’m truly following

is You.

Pray this Lazaroo in up-close-and-personal faith:

“…keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
(Joshua 3:4)

You gave them a dramatic illustration of Your absolute holiness, Jesus –

unapproachable by sinful human beings.

If they carelessly drew any closer

or dared to reach out and touch the ark itself

they would die.

Oh, how different now!

HALLELUJAH!

At your death the temple curtain that blocked us from entering Your Presence

was torn in two, from top to bottom!

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…whom God has hedged in?”
(Job 3:23)

Job hated what was happening, Jesus –

and for good reason!
He was in horrific pain.

But there was an underlying issue, wasn’t there?

He didn’t like being “hedged in” –
realizing You had put him in a place

from which there was no escape.

We human beings love our freedom, don’t we?

But problems arise when I abuse my freedom
which, if left unchecked, will ruin my life.

O God!
Hedge me in!
