Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…loved by the Lord…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Still blows my mind, Father!

Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so.

Why, Jesus?

How can You love a sinner like me?

Because of the evil I’ve done

Your love for me cost You Your life
an ugly, excruciatingly painful, humiliating

death on the cross.

They laughed at You, taunted You, ridiculed You
slapped You, beat You, despised You

because of me.

Your incomprehensible love!

demands mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing recognition:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

I need that reminder, Jesus.

I sometimes get so upset with myself
that I forget Who made me!

True – some of my shortcomings are my fault –

stuff I can correct, with Your help.

But how much of who and what I am

is exactly how You designed me?

Instead of wishing I was like somebody else

why don’t I instead lean on You to show me

why I’m the way I am?

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful trust:

“Dear friend…”
(3 John 1:5)

Not every friend is dear, Jesus.

Some of them are more like acquaintances.
Others I know well…maybe too well! 😉

There are those who used to be dear

but have grown distant.

With others I’ve had a falling out.

I would say their fault.
They would say mine.

I’m painfully aware that even those I now consider good friends

may not stay that way.

But You, O God!

are my Forever Friend.
True…without end.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads…”
(Joshua 2:19)

That’s pretty much the way it is for me too, isn’t it, Jesus?

I can stay in You

in Your house
in Your Word
in Your Presence
in obedience to You

or I can decide there’s something better than You out there
and hit the streets.

If I do that
my blood will be on my own head.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“He walked with me in peace…”
(Malachi 2:6)

May that be said of me, Jesus

now…

and after I depart –

when my time on earth is through.

Can that be said of me?

On my good days, yes.

But there are still too many days of my life that I surrender to

doubt
fear
worry
turmoil
unrest.

My fault. Not Yours.

You’ve promised to keep me in perfect peace

if I will keep my mind steadfast
trusting You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.”
(Philippians 1:26)

I’d love for somebody’s joy in You…

to be my fault, Jesus!

I hope that’s already happened –

but if so, I’d like it to happen again

and again
and again.

In fact, if You want to use me to spread Your joy to everyone I know

I couldn’t be happier about it.

Fun can be had.

Joy, on the other hand, has to be granted

by You.
