Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Who knows? God may yet relent…”
(Jonah 3:9)

Even after the prophet Jonah delivered Your declaration of doom, Jesus

Ninevah’s king rallied his people with the hope of Your mercy.

For good reason:
Your mercy is legendary!

Yes, You punish willful, stubbornly repetitive sin.

But it breaks Your heart when You have to do it.
You give us chance after chance after chance to repent.

Even after You pronounce judgment

there’s always hope that You will relent
if we change our wicked ways.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn introspection:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love…”
(Jude 1:21)

Your love is legendary, Jesus.

No matter how many times I mess up

You forgive me.

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

But this command from You through your half-brother Jude

reminds me that I bear a clear and definite responsibility.

If I deliberately and repeatedly sin against You
thinking to take advantage of your love

I might want to think again.

Would anyone who truly belongs to You

callously, premeditatively
do such a thing?

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.”
(3 John 1:10)

That may be the hardest defense to pull off, Jesus:

defending myself.

The moment I open my mouth, I’m suspect.

After all, the number of guilty people who protest their innocence is legendary.

I have to face the fact that I will never be able

to completely convince people of my innocence.

But You can.

You’re my only hope!
My reputation depends on You.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…for the sake of the Name…”
(3 John 1:7)

Your Name, Jesus –

the Name above every name.

What John did for the sake of Your Name is legendary.

What am I willing to do for the sake of Your Name?

You’re the Creator of all –

the one who gave Your life for me before I was born
knowing the sins I’d commit
knowing how often I’d let You down.

What am I willing to do…

for the sake of Your Name?

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“In the fire of his jealousy…”
(Zephaniah 1:18)

I know You’re loving, Jesus.

Your kindness, mercy, forgiveness are legendary.

But that doesn’t mean You’re weak.

You hate sin.
You especially hate premeditated, willful sin.

Most of all, You hate what it signifies

when those You’ve loved, cared for, forgiven countless times

forsake You and run after Satan.

It ignites a fire of jealousy in You that will consume all

who cynically believe they can take advantage of Your goodness.
