Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit…”
(Colossians 2:5)

A lot of people use this verse to justify why they didn’t show up, Jesus.

They say “I can’t come, but I’ll be with you in spirit.”
Then they promptly put those people out of their minds.

But not Paul.

He truly connected with those he couldn’t be with.
He cared for them, prayed for them, identified with them.

Heavenly Father!
May I do the same.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: ‘All nations will be blessed through you.’ So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.”
(Galatians 3:8-9)

I have an earthly dad, Jesus.

Above all, there’s my Heavenly Father.

But because I have the faith of Abraham

he has become my spiritual father!

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.
