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 theirsĀ but just as much a stench in Your nostrils.

Revival, LORD!

Please.

Send a revival.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“For the Israelites will live many days without…idol.”
(Hosea 3:4)

You want us to live all our days without idols, Jesus!

But Your people had a hard time doing that.

So You stepped in
and provided the necessary incentive.

I have a hard time staying idol-free too, don’t I?

Oh, I don’t realize it at first.
I think I’m idol-free.

But the moment I hesitate to do Your will because I think something else looks better?

That’s an idol.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace…”
(Jonah 2:8)

You are so good to me, Jesus!

You’re beyond good to every person
who draws a breath on this planet.

You don’t treat us as our sins deserve!

Over and over and over again
You forgive us times beyond counting.

You do, that is…

if we look to You as our God.

But those who trust some god instead of You

turn their backs
on their only hope.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep resolve:

“…they are not gods at all.”
(Jeremiah 2:11)

As I begin this New Year, Jesus

please help me quickly – and once for all –
identify
which aspects of my life are “not gods at all.”

Is there any person, place or thing that wants to become my god?

Is there anything or anyone I’m holding onto
more tightly than I’m holding onto You?

If so, please show me!

I can’t afford to drag that kind of baggage
into 2016.
