Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted. Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death…”
(Psalm 9:11-13)

I’ve got to know this, Jesus!

When I see the atrocities being committed, it breaks my heart!

Thank You for letting me know You will intervene for them

and me.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you…”
(Habakkuk 2:17)

So what they sowed, Jesus

You’re going to make sure they reap.

They treated Lebanon violently
and with violence they will be treated.

I’ve sowed some bad seed myself, Father

seed I most assuredly do not wish to reap!

But I’ve forsaken my past sins.

I’ve repented, turned to You with all my heart

trusting in Your incomparable love, mercy and forgiveness.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ…”
(Jude 1:21)

We may have to wait a while for Your ultimate mercy to be revealed, Jesus

but we don’t have to wait long to experience Your mercy
in a thousand ways – small and large –
through the passage of our days.

You are so good to us!
You take care of Your own.
You watch over us like a mother with her newborn.

No…even better.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“…we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”
(2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1)

Keep the transformation coming, Jesus.

I have such a long way to go!

But I trust You. I believe in You. I know You Are God and I know You are Good.

I will not lose heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
(Luke 1:78-79)

We don’t deserve it, Jesus!

But in Your tender mercy

cause your rising sun to shine down on us
as we desperately grope about in this land of darkness
battling the stench of death

…and guide us all the way Home.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“‘Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:9)

When our hearts are stubborn and unrepentant, Jesus

this is what it comes to.

Because Your loving kindness doesn’t compel us

all that’s left is pain.

O God!

May I respond to Your love
Your generosity to me
Your goodness, mercy and forgiveness!

May I never bring upon myself

Your wrath.

(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 over-the-top trust:

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.”
(1 John 2:20)

At first, that sounds so encouraging, Jesus –

and it is.

I’m thoroughly, totally, absolutely equipped to succeed!

But at second look, it scares me to death.

I do know the truth…

which makes me responsible to live it.

I can’t plead ignorance.

So maybe I’d better plead for Your mercy, grace and power

to do what I know to do.
