Pray this Lazaroo with inexpressible gratitude:

“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.”
(Hebrews 4:9-11)

I rest, Jesus –

from my futile work of attempting to earn my salvation.

I can’t – no matter how hard I try.

I confess that my faith in You –

Your death, burial and resurrection –

is my only hope for eternal life!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.”
(3 John 1:10)

That may be the hardest defense to pull off, Jesus:

defending myself.

The moment I open my mouth, I’m suspect.

After all, the number of guilty people who protest their innocence is legendary.

I have to face the fact that I will never be able

to completely convince people of my innocence.

But You can.

You’re my only hope!
My reputation depends on You.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered humility:

“Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.”
(Psalms 7:8-10)

Like David, Jesus

there are times I can’t ask you to deliver me
according to my righteousness.

My only hope is Yours.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will overturn royal thrones…”
(Haggai 2:22)

When royalty becomes corrupt, Jesus

their fate is sealed –

unless they repent.

No matter how many generations of powerful heirs have reigned

You can bring their line of succession to a halt

in an instant.

But all who look to You and Your loving sacrifice on the cross

will reign with You forever

in the only true royalty
that endures.

My hope –

my only hope –

is in You, Jesus!
Now and forever.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Return to the LORD your God…”
(Joel 2:13)

Why would any of us ever leave You, Jesus?

You’re loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, all-wise, all-powerful –

the Only God!

How could any of us who has touched Your greatness

stray from Your loving arms?

But we do.

There’s no excuse. None.

My only hope when I commit the unthinkable
and cave in to Satan’s temptation

is to repent with every fiber of my being
and return to You with all my heart!

Trust in the LORD, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.”
(Psalms 7:1-2)

Your ancestor King David wrote this song to You, Jesus

concerning Cush the Benjamite
who was falsely accusing him.

David was crying out to You for protection –

as do I, LORD!

You’re my only hope

against the immense harm of false accusations.

Pray this Lazaroo on high alert:

“Many deceivers…”
(2 John 1:7)

It’s hard for me to believe how many deceivers there are, Jesus.

They’re everywhere –
in the places I least expect them.

Well…that’s what a deceiver is, isn’t it?

Spreading lies where I thought I would hear only truth.

I’m skeptical when I near the places liars usually gather.

But I dare not let down my guard anywhere.

Satan shows up in government…in court…at home…in church.

The straightedge of Your Word
is my only hope.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god. As for the man who does this, whoever he may be, may the Lord remove him from the tents of Jacob—even though he brings an offering to the Lord Almighty.”
(Malachi 2:11-12)

So much for trying to buy my way back into Your good graces, Jesus.

If I ever stoop that low, I’d do well to remember – while my head is still attached:

100% wholehearted repentance
is my only hope.

Pray this Lazaroo in unvarnished awareness:

“’Although you wash yourself with soap and use an abundance of cleansing powder, the stain of your guilt is still before me,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.”
(Jeremiah 2:22)

I can’t wash away my own sin, can I, Jesus?

A physical scrubbing can’t erase a spiritual offense.

My only hope is Your love, mercy and forgiveness!

And on the cross – HALLELUJAH!

You demonstrated all three.

Accordingly, I’ve got to place 0% of my faith in me

and 100% in You.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The shields of his soldiers are red…”
(Nahum 2:3)

That might be paint on their shields, Jesus…

but it’s probably blood.

Since their shields are covered in blood

and since they’re still standing
their enemies must have fallen.

These soldiers must be awfully good.

Not a pretty thought, Father!

But there’s no way around it:
that’s the reality of battle.

Some of those walking around have my blood on their shields, Father.

Why am I still here?
Only You.
