Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…Hymenaeus and Philetus…have departed from the truth.”
(2 Timothy 2:17-18)

Why would they do that, Jesus?

Truth is a beautiful thing.

It creates crystal clarity
shedding brilliant light in the darkness.

Even when the truth reveals what we don’t want to hear or see

it dispels lies, wishful thinking, illusion
showing us how to respond appropriately.

Your Word is Truth.

You Are Truth.

Make me a lover of the Truth

all the days of my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing gratitude for nine precious God-ordained, Word-of-God honoring years!

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12)

Your Word, Jesus! Your Word!

It’s the Lamp for my feet
the Light for my pathway.

Teach me through Your Word!

Fill me with Your Word!

May I daily hide Your Word in my heart

that I might not sin against You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving dedication:

“If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.”
(1 Corinthians 3:12-13)

You know when I’m following You with my whole heart, Jesus.

But when I stay true to you through the fire –

temptations, trials, disasters, heartbreak –

everybody else can see it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…if you rely on the law and boast in God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children…”
(Romans 2:17-20)

You’re kind of hard on those of us who think we’re “all that,” aren’t You, Jesus?

as well You should be.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble obedience:

“They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays, and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it. Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.”
(Numbers 4:9-10)

Oh, the care You want us to take

with the things we use to worship You, Jesus!

in holy respect.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing…”
(3 John 1:9-10)

That’s one of the best ways to deal with evil, isn’t it, Jesus?

Shine a little light on it.

Spiritual darkness hates Your Light!

Satan tries to extinguish Your Light.

But he can’t!

Light overpowers darkness!

When you came to this earth as a tiny baby

You lit up the world forever and ever!

Pray this Lazaroo in total adoration:

“…God our Father…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:16)

You and the Father are One, Jesus.

When Philip asked You to show them the Father
You answered, “ Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

Wow.

O Father!

You live in unapproachable Light!
No one has ever seen you or can see You.

No wonder You came to earth through the virgin birth

in the Person of Your Son

to help us draw closer to You!

Thank You for Jesus!

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“…God’s churches…which are in Christ Jesus…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Not every group of people calling themselves a “church”

is a church, Jesus.

Many gatherings of people meeting in buildings with steeples and pews

bear no resemblance to the Church of the Bible
nor do they honor the Bible of Your Church.

Some who sing from hymnals illuminated by light streaming through stained glass

are unacquainted with the true Light
who came into this world to seek and save the lost.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…light dwells with him.”
(Daniel 2:22)

Knowing that makes things so simple, Jesus!

If I need to shed a little light on some problem

I need to hang out with You

because You’re where light hangs out.

Of course, the more I hang out with You

the less I’ll choose to live in darkness.

The only good reason I can think of to return to that sad, depressing gloom

is to point them to You
and Your amazing light.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…he knows what lies in darkness…”
(Daniel 2:22)

That’s so comforting, Jesus!

You’re able to protect me
from those lurking in shadows to harm me.

But it’s terrifying news for those who live in darkness.

One of the reasons they’ve chosen the gloom
is to hide what they’re doing.

O God!

Since their evil deeds are in plain sight before You
give them every incentive to

stop!

do an about face

and with Your help

turn their lives around.
