Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Pray this Lazaroo with sincere humility:

“…Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.”
(3 John 1:9)

Well, no, Jesus.

There was no way on earth
that Diotrephes would welcome John.

If he did, he’d no longer be first!

By comparison to the famous Apostle John
Diotrephes would appear to be a nobody.

He’d rather miss out on John’s incomparable teaching

than give up his position of self-importance.

May I never miss out on your best

because of my pigheaded desire to be a big shot.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted gratitude:

“You ask, ‘Why?’”
(Malachi 2:14)

They wanted to know why You were punishing them, Jesus.

But that’s not the reason I ask, “Why?”

What I want to know is why You love me this much!

You don’t punish me as my sins deserve.
You shower me with favor, mercy and forgiveness!

This much I know:

It’s not because of me, my good deeds, my righteousness.

It’s all…all…all because of You!

Oh, the height, width and depth of Your incomparable love!

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.”
(Proverbs 3:19-20)

You didn’t just fling a few planets, stars and galaxies out there, Jesus.

You didn’t give the earth a careless glance
leaving it to become whatever.

With great wisdom, knowledge and understanding

You created an incomparably vast, ever-expanding ecosystem
that drops our jaws in worshipful admiration.

Pray this Lazaroo in jaw-dropping amazement:

“…the splendor of his majesty!”
(Isaiah 2:10)

Everywhere I look, Jesus

I stand in awe
at the splendor of Your majesty!

When I look into Your sky in the morning and see Your clouds racing by

I marvel at their beauty.

When I look into that same sky at night and glimpse innumerable stars

I’m filled with wonder.

When I’m captured by the miracle of a newborn baby

I can’t help but be stunned
by Your incomparable love.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“They are full of…murder…”
(Romans 1:29)

No matter how much I detest what someone does, Jesus

I can’t allow myself to give in to the runaway passion

that leads to murder.

It isn’t between them and me.

It’s between You and me.

I’ve got to believe in my heart that if someone needs killing

You’ll do it –
in the right way and time

never forgetting that I myself deserve death for my sins

but for Your incomparable, outrageous mercy.
