Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the exiles…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

It’s no fun to be an exile, Jesus!

to be kicked out of my home, my homeland
the place I thought would be mine my whole life

…until I discover the better place
You’ve held in store for me.

Maybe the mistakes I’ve made put me here.
Maybe the sins I committed got me booted out.

Or maybe I was obedient to You
and this is my reward.

No matter!

Because of You

this is better.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All my enemies…rejoice at what you have done.”
(Lamentations 1:21)

Wow. Not only am I suffering at Your hands, Jesus

but those who hate me are jumping up and down with glee.

I could throw a fit. Give up. Quit.

Tempting.

But no.
You deserve better.

So I’ll humble myself, attempt to understand why You’re doing this

learn from it, take my lumps
trusting You in Your mercy to do something through me

that makes my enemies stop laughing.

Pray this Lazaroo in tearful gratitude:

“…the one who now holds it back…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:7)

Praise Your holy, loving, merciful, powerful Name, LORD Jesus!

for being the God who “holds it back.”

Just as You held back the waters of the Red Sea so Your people could safely cross

You hold back the punishment due me for my sins
You hold back the evil that threatens to destroy me

You hold back the exposure of my worst flaws
that would cause everyone around me to withdraw in disgust.
