Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.”
(1 Kings 3:4)

Big whoop.

Gibeon may have been the most important high place, Jesus
but Solomon was supposed to destroy all these high places –

not worship You on them.

May I never sin in the most important area of my life

in a badly mistaken notion that what I’m doing

honors You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“The day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it?”
(Joel 2:11)

Those who think this world will forever continue as it is are mistaken, Jesus.

You’re giving us countless chances to stop our sinning
to turn wholeheartedly to You.

But the end of all things as we know them is drawing near.

Our wickedness is mounting up to the skies.

You’re about to come down here with Your saints and angels

and clean things up.

Pray this Lazaroo in surrendered gratitude:

“…the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.”
(Hebrews 3:3)

You’re my Builder, Jesus…

I’m one of the countless “houses” You’re building.

Without question, You deserve not just greater honor, but all the honor!

I wasn’t doing so well before I asked You to take over the job.

I mean, for a while I thought I could handle it
but it didn’t take me long to face the fact
that I was badly, badly mistaken.

Keep in mind the Big Picture as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the people heard that he had come home.”
(Mark 2:1)

But, in fact, they were mistaken, Jesus.

Capernaum was not Your home.

Nowhere on this earth was Your home.

Your Home is in heaven.

Same here.

Nowhere on earth is my home.
My home is in heaven.

Every day I spend down here
I’m just passing through.

I sometimes forget that –

sometimes make earth-based, short-term decisions.

It would really be good
if I could keep eternity in mind.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“I have found a man…who can tell the king what his dream means.”
(Daniel 2:25)

That would be quite a find, Jesus!

I suspect most of my dreams have little meaning –
my nighttime brain sorting things out –

though in that, I confess I may be mistaken!

But every once in a while, there’s a dream that’s somehow…different.

I know it means something
but I don’t know what.

When You give me one of those, LORD, please:

Reveal its meaning!

Take heed, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“They charge like warriors…”
(Joel 2:7)

Oh, Jesus.

Your warning about this army of locusts
about to descend upon Your people
is terrifying.

You don’t do things like this without fair warning.

You warn us over and over and over again.

In fact, Your kindness is sadly mistaken for unwillingness to act.

Your warnings come so far in advance
that we tragically suppose they will never arrive.

But if we fail to reverse course they will.

Dear God.
They will.
