Pray this Lazaroo with rejoicing:

“…servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire…They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.”
(Daniel 3:26-27)

It doesn’t get any more amazing than that, Jesus!

You rewarded these men for their refusal to bow to an idol
by performing one of the great miracles of all time.

But others, whom You love just as much,

were burned to death for their faith.

Only in heaven will I understand.
Until then, You have my complete trust.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it.”
(Habakkuk 2:19)

Is anything more important to me than You, Jesus?

If so, that’s an idol.

The thing is

I can claim You’re most important in my life

while putting someone or something
ahead of You.

If I’m lying to myself about this, please show me!

‘cause You smash idols.

Pray this Lazaroo in corrected gratitude:

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.”
(Habakkuk 2:18)

I’ve never carved an idol, Jesus.

I would never do such a thing.

But am I trusting anything I’ve created?
Anything some other human has created?

Do I think they have the power to

heal me
make me happy
put food on my table?

I know better than that!

Only You, LORD!
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of God:

“Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.”
(Hosea 4:17-19)

After repeated willful sin

there comes a point of no return, doesn’t there, Jesus?

when a person – even an entire nation –
are joined to their idols in unholy matrimony

till death and destruction come
and they perish together.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“…old wine and new wine take away their understanding. My people consult a wooden idol, and a diviner’s rod speaks to them. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God. They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar and terebinth, where the shade is pleasant.”
(Hosea 4:11-13)

Addiction…spiritual cluelessness…idol worship…prostitution…unfaithfulness.

O, Jesus!

These are the sins still plaguing us today.

Deliver us, Mighty God!
Deliver us!

Pray this Lazaroo in worship to our one and only God!

“They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’”
(Jeremiah 2:27)

How the idol worship of Your very own people had to hurt You, Jesus!

Sadly, it continues today in my country
and worldwide.

Our idols are different from theirs but just as much a stench in Your nostrils.

Revival, LORD!

Please.

Send a revival.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality.”
(Revelation 2:14)

You know who did what to whom, don’t You, Jesus?

Yes, the person who finally committed the sin is guilty.
But You hold responsible those who enticed them!

People look on the outside.
You see into my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the LORD Loves by marrying the daughter of a foreign god.”
(Malachi 2:11)

What a heartbreak, Jesus!

Jewish men were divorcing their Jewish wives
and marrying idol-worshiping foreign women

in order to gain economic advantage in their trade with other countries.

How could they do such a thing?
These men worshiped an idol of their own, didn’t they?

Money.

May I never – ever! – compromise my walk with You

in order to line my pockets.

Pray this Lazaroo with God-given love:

“If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”
(1 John 2:15)

This is a hard teaching, Jesus.

It’s easy to love the world
because I can see it in all its stunning beauty

It’s harder to love You as You deserve –

because although Your love for me is amazing
and Your works are everywhere to behold

You Yourself are invisible.

That’s probably why so many religions resort to idols.

But I choose to love You!
