Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Look up to the barren heights and see. Is there any place where you have not been ravished? By the roadside you sat waiting for lovers, sat like a nomad in the desert. You have defiled the land with your prostitution and wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withheld, and no spring rains have fallen.”
(Jeremiah 3:2-3)

You liken Your people to a brazen prostitute, Jesus

making it clear how You view our continual sins.

O God!

Keep me pure before You –

in my thoughts, words and deeds.

Pray this Lazaroo in broken repentance:

“‘If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers—would you now return to me?’ declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 3:1)

Once again, You’re teaching on two levels, Jesus –

on marriage
on my relationship with You.

But the answer to Your question is yes!

If I have strayed

I will return to You forever – with all my heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…be like…a young stag on the rugged hills.”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

This is truly intimate, sacred lovers’ language, Jesus!

But this kind of energy in the face of challenge
is exactly what I long for!

There’s no escaping it:

You lead me to rugged hills!

In Your wisdom and power

You call me to climb them, endure them, conquer them.

If I’m to succeed, I’m going to need a double helping

of Your spiritual version of young stag strength! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with heightened intensity:

“…be like a gazelle…”
(Song of Songs 2:17)

Lover talk, Jesus.

Good stuff. Wow.

But as with most of this fascinating book

there’s a spiritual application too, isn’t there?

I can’t match the gazelle’s 50 mph speed –

almost, but not quite as fast as the cheetah –

which loves to dine on gazelle.

But maybe I can match the gazelle’s intensity

as it attempts to elude its hunter.

O Great God:

Enable me to escape from Satan’s relentless pursuit!

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“I will live with you.”
(Hosea 3:3)

Nothing unusual to say to a wife, Jesus…

unless she’s left her husband to become a prostitute –
which is exactly what Hosea’s wife Gomer had done.

There was only one reason he took her back:

You told him to.

To his everlasting credit, he did it –

maybe the hardest command he ever obeyed.

You wanted to demonstrate through him what You’ve done with me

in taking me back
after all my sins.
