Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Though you, Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty.”
(Hosea 4:15)

A command like that is hard to obey, Jesus.

Certainly, a person caught in sin might wish for better
for someone they truly love.

But it’s incredibly hard to tell someone:

“Don’t do as I’ve done.
Do as I say.”

A bad example is a tall, tall mountain to climb.

From this moment forward, help me set a good example

for everyone I want to see live for You!

Pray this Lazaroo with a willingness to be corrected:

“How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?”
(Galatians 2:14)

That had to be incredibly hard for Peter to take, Jesus.

After all, Peter had spent the entire three years of your ministry with You.

Paul was a Johnny-come-lately

who had persecuted Your followers in the early days of the church.

No matter!

This time, Paul was right
and Peter was wrong.

No matter by whom!

may I always be willing to stand corrected.

Ask God for grace, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…so they may become like me.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

Jeremiah wasn’t asking You to make his enemies wealthy, Jesus.

He wasn’t asking You to make them strong.
He wasn’t asking You to make them happy.

Jeremiah was pleading with You to make his enemies miserable!

…because that’s what He was.

I sure understand why he felt that way.

It’s incredibly hard to watch my enemies dance over my misfortune.

But You’ve given me a new command:

Love my enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed hope:

“Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”
(Hebrews 2:18)

I’m not happy that You suffered, Jesus.

But it’s so encouraging to learn that temptation was difficult for You.

It’s incredibly hard to say, “No!” to one of Satan’s clever temptations.

But knowing that You suffered to keep from caving in to what Satan was dangling under Your nose

gives me confidence that with Your help

I can, too.
