Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“…no lie comes from the truth.”
(1 John 2:21)

What a powerful reminder, Jesus!

Every lie comes from the pits of hell

from the father of lies:

Satan.

If I tell a lie, that’s where I went to get it.

That’s who I consorted with to produce it.

If someone else lies to me, they pulled it right out of the flames.

They buddied up with Satan – if only a moment –

to receive it from his dirty, filthy, deceiving

smelly, evil hands.

Kinda makes me wanna stick to the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo on high alert:

“…the people…have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city. They are restoring the walls and repairing the foundations. Furthermore, the king should know that if this city is built and its walls are restored, no more taxes, tribute or duty will be paid, and eventually the royal revenues will suffer.”
(Ezra 4:12-13)

I wish I could always tell when somebody’s lying, Jesus

‘cause that’s what these guys were doing.

Please draw me close

so I can hear Your whisper of warning.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“This is what the Lord says: ‘As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim “peace”…’”
(Micah 3:5)

False prophecy is disgusting, Jesus.

Lying to the people who feed them
pandering to them, reassuring them

in spite of the fact
that they were sent by You
to warn them.

Question:

Do I ever tell people what they want to hear

instead of what they need to hear

because I want them to like me?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away.”
(Hosea 4:2-3)

Most people have no idea, Jesus –

that our blatant, willful, persistent sin
can negatively impact the environment
ultimately destroying wildlife.

Please, LORD:

Keep me pure!

Pray this Lazaroo with redoubled incentive:

“You destroy those who tell lies…”
(Psalms 5:6)

You don’t exactly beat around the bush, Jesus.

You refuse to tolerate liars.

Do I ever identify!

The thing about liars is
there’s no way to tell exactly what’s going on.

After I talk with one of them

I know even less than I did before.

Just knowing how You feel about them is comforting –

not to mention motivating.

The last thing I want to be

is one of their number.

 Pray this Lazaroo in bedrock-deep resolve: 

“They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind…”
(Jude 1:13)

People like this are nearly impossible to live with, Jesus!

They say one thing one day
something else the next.

They stand for nothing
fall for anything.

They stick up a wet finger
to determine which way the latest puff of air is blowing.

Their current position
depends on whoever they were last with.

May I never, never, ever!

be counted among their

unstable
unreliable
wishy-washy midst.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“Wisdom will save you…from men…who are devious in their ways.”
(Proverbs 2:12, 15)

Just as Herod lied to the magi claiming he wanted to worship You, Jesus

so there will be those who attempt to deceive me –

some of whom will hide behind seemingly “holy” purposes to do it.

It’s one thing to be able to tell that’s what’s going on…

quite another to have sufficient wisdom to know what to do about it.

That’s where You come in, isn’t it? 😉
