Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished…”
(Romans 3:24-25)

You’ve left a countless number of my sins unpunished Jesus.

Your sacrifice on the cross

has set free this unworthy –

but profoundly grateful –

sinner saved by grace.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.’”
(Galatians 3:10-11)

I keep trying to do good, Jesus

and so I should.

But not to earn my salvation!

I give my all to please You
In gratitude for your gift of faith.

Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

I belong to You lock, stock and barrel –
body, spirit, soul, mind and heart –

not only because You made me

but because You declared I would be Yours before I was ever born
then called me to Yourself

to which I responded yes! with all my heart
after which You justified me
and are now glorifying me by giving me

Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled transparency:

“My people have committed two sins…”
(Jeremiah 2:13)

If only two sins

were all I’ve committed. Jesus

Mine are innumerable.

I can’t count them
and I’m the one who committed them.

If I really wanted a closer count

I’m sure my enemies would help me out.

One reason I can’t count all of them –

other than my bad memory –

is that I’m really good at justifying them

when in reality there is never any excuse
for sinning against You.
