Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“They all march in line…”
(Joel 2:7)

It’s bad enough when my enemies show up one at a time, Jesus.

But when a horde of them lines up against me?

Not good.

Of course, this was a plague of locusts sent by You

against Your chronically rebellious people.

So as long as I stay obedient to You

I won’t have to face that fearsome sight.

Or if I do, I can remain confident

knowing You will surely rescue me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sobriety:

“…those who oppose you…will be destroyed…”
(Philippians 1:28)

This might seem like heady stuff to some people, Jesus…

but that’s not how it’s supposed to strike me, is it?

Is it encouraging to know that one day I will get relief from my enemies?

Sure.

But it’s also enormously sobering.

I don’t deserve for anybody to be destroyed for opposing me!

But it’s not really about me, is it?

It’s about those who oppose me
because they oppose You.

 Take stock, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“Filled with compassion…”
(Mark 1:41)

Am I ever filled with compassion, Jesus?

If so, when?

Is it only when it involves the people in my family

in my circle of friends?

or am I able to be filled with compassion for all those who are hurting

total strangers
people who speak a different language
those of another skin color?

Am I filled with compassion

for those who’ve brought suffering on themselves

…for those who’ve brought suffering on me?
