Pray this Lazaroo with a heart full of love:

“Be merciful…”
(Jude 1:22)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why is it so hard for me to be merciful to others

while being the grateful recipient
of all this mercy I’m receiving from You?

I know what I deserve –

and it ain’t peaches and cream.

I deserve dismemberment, humiliation and hell.
Instead, You’ve given me life, golden opportunities and heaven.

Surely, I can muster up a little of Your mercy toward others!

You’ve made it pretty clear:

If I don’t

my own mercy could come to a halt.

Awake! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, ‘We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!’”
(Isaiah 4:1)

Sin doesn’t end in triumph, Jesus

but in humiliation.

Satan packs all his pleasures into the first moments of my disobedience

then leaves me hurting, disgraced, bankrupt.

How many times do I have to see this outcome of temptation

before I reject it?

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Also, the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have cracked your skull.”
(Jeremiah 2:16)

Total humiliation, Jesus.

It was not as though all of Egypt had attacked Israel.

All it took was a couple of cities
to bring Your chosen ones to their knees.

You broke Egypt to set Your people free

but because those You rescued
enslaved themselves to idols

the vanquished became conquerors.

Which is precisely what happens to me

when I choose anything or anyone over You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you will worship God on this mountain.”
(Exodus 3:12)

You love to do this, don’t You, Jesus?

to turn a place of humiliating defeat
into a site of glorious triumph!

You met Moses at Mount Horeb where he was tending someone else’s sheep

informed him that he would return to this mountain

with three million people in tow
to hear Your voice and receive Your law.

O Father!

What will You do here one day

in this place
through me?

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month…”
(Esther 2:16)

How demeaning, Jesus –

to be plucked from her home
deprived of her rights

trained for months in the King’s harem
delivered to the king for acceptance or rejection.

And You were working through all of it!

positioning her to become queen to save the lives of Your people

just as You are working through my hardships and humiliations

to accomplish Your eternal good.
