Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Anyone who…does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God…”
(2 John 1:9)

That explains a lot, Jesus!

I often wonder how in the world someone who

attended church
served in ministries
donated to causes
seemed to be a Christian brother or sister

could suddenly abandon everything they supposedly stood for.

Now I know:

They had religion
but they didn’t have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“In your teaching show…soundness of speech…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

You’re not talking about the rules of grammar, are You, Jesus?

You’re telling me not to present speculation as fact.
You’re telling me to be kind toward others.
You’re telling me to speak with humility.
You’re telling me to stick to the truth.

I may not be the best speaker in the world.

What I have to say may not always be interesting.

But with Your help
I can do that.

Pray this Lazaroo in ardent, longing love:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

I can’t thank You enough for that, Jesus!

‘cause I sure can’t figure a whole lot of stuff out.

I can’t even figure myself out –
let alone other people and situations.

But it’s “the deep things of God” that I most long to understand!

I suspect that if I knew those

I’d be able to better understand what’s going on
everywhere else in the world.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.”
(Judges 2:18)

What would we do without Your compassion, Jesus?

There’s so much evil in the world!

If I didn’t know You see and care and understand

I don’t know what I would do.
But it wouldn’t be good.

That may explain why some people do the things they do.

They don’t know You’re watching, caring, loving
and will intervene in Your perfect way and time.

Humbly pray this Lazaroo:

“…she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
(Genesis 3:12)

Adam blew right past his own responsibility, didn’t he, Jesus?

He acted like he had no choice:

Since his wife handed him the fruit, he had to eat it.

How lame.

It doesn’t matter who Satan uses to tempt me, LORD –

even the most precious person in the world to me!

If you say, “No!” then that’s got to be my answer to them:

“No!”

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…those who pass by without a care…”
(Micah 2:8)

I’ve seen them, Jesus –

blithely parading past me
not a worry in the world.

Because of the burdens I carry

it’s easy to be envious.

Of course, some of them are faking it.

They may be struggling
but don’t want to show it.

Others aren’t caring enough to have a care.

I’d rather not be in their number.

Help me truly care, LORD!

knowing all the while:

You’ve got this.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

Well, that settles it, Jesus:

I’m never going to oppose You.

Just kidding. I didn’t plan to anyway. But here’s my question:

If it’s such a no-brainer to me
why isn’t it a no-brainer to everyone?

By Your own count, most of the people of the world oppose You.

You! Their Creator!

A frightening number of them don’t even acknowledge You exist!

Some serious shattering
is on its way.
