Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—”
(Joel 2:13-14)

Why do You treat us so much better than we deserve, Jesus?

It’s Your deep, abiding love, isn’t it?

Hallelujah!
Thank You!

But I can’t let it stop here, can I?

There are those who’ve wronged me
even as I have wronged You.

May I extend to them
Your deep, abiding love!

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir.”
(Deuteronomy 2:7-8)

Thank You, Jesus, for watching over my journey through my own vast wilderness.

And yes…

from time to time

it’s been necessary to move on

past some of my relatives! đŸ˜‰

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate…”
(Joel 2:13)

Oh, yes You Are, Jesus!

You Are Gracious!

So kind to me.
So tender with me.

You refuse to treat me as my sins deserve.

And You Are Compassionate!

You get me.
You understand why I stumble.

You give me chance after chance after chance!

You keep lifting me up

brushing me off

and sending me back into the fray

not in my own strength

but in Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awareness:

“…the officers went throughout the camp, giving orders to the people: ‘When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.’”
(Joshua 3:2-3)

The ark of the covenant was the place of Your Presence, Jesus!

Of course, You’re everywhere present.

But there are some places
where Your Presence is more powerfully felt.

May I always be ready to follow wherever You lead!

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Most of the time it’s not You punishing us, is it, Jesus?

It’s that refusing to obey You
carries its own consequences.

If I’m a liar, people stop trusting me.
If I’m a thief, I’ll end up in jail.
If I’m unfaithful, my spouse may divorce me.

You made me.

You know what causes me to thrive
and what leads to my destruction.
