Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…you say, ‘I am innocent; he is not angry with me.’ But I will pass judgment on you because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’”
(Jeremiah 2:35)

It’s not a good idea to lie to the One who can read my mind, Jesus.

Yes. I have sinned.

I’ve wronged others
but most of all You.

But I believe You came to this earth to pay with Your life to save people like me.

You’ve removed my sin from me
as far as the east is from the west!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
(Ephesians 2:17-18)

The Jews were the insiders, Jesus

the rest of us outsiders.

But You’re the Creator of us all

and in Your love…the Savior of us all!

Because they rejected You, the Jews became outsiders

but one day You will once again draw them

back inside.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
(Matthew 3:2)

Those words of John the Baptist resonate today, Jesus!

He was the one prophesied by Isaiah –

“A voice of one calling in the desert…”

He was the one prophesied by Malachi –

“I will send you the prophet Elijah…”

to prepare the people for Your coming.

You came! Preached! Healed! Died! Resurrected!

Shocked the world!

I’ve got to repent of every wrong thought, word and action.

You’re coming again.

On this Easter Sunday, let’s pray this Lazaroo together with unbridled JOY!

“Elisha son of Shaphat is here.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

…and Jesus Son of God is HERE!

O Father! You promised through Your prophets
that the Messiah would come –

and Jesus came!

In the double portion of the spirit of Elijah You granted him,

Elisha worked miracle after miracle.

But NOBODY did what You did, Jesus.

NOBODY has done what You’ve done.

You’re alive! You’re alive! You have risen from the dead!

You rule and reign forevermore!

CHRIST IS RISEN!

CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”
(Acts 2:20)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

You’re coming.

I know it will happen.

I just don’t know when.

I know it will happen because You declared in advance You would come the first time.

And on this Christmas Eve I’m reminded:
You kept Your Word!
You came!

But this next coming of Yours?

Wow. What a day that will be!

When You rescue Your people
from the coming wrath.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful…high priest…”
(Hebrews 2:17)

You get it, Jesus.

Better than that:
You get me.

You know why I struggle, stumble, fall.

You didn’t –

but only because You were also God!

I’m not.
So from time to time I blow it.

If You were distant, aloof

that would be a problem.

But You came

and walked in my shoes.
