Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“…as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
(Leviticus 6:6-7)

When they brought their offering to the priest, Jesus

in reality, they were offering it to You.

When I give my tithes and offerings to my church

in reality, I’m offering them to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with joy and gratitude!

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:15-16)

You know firsthand what I’m going through, Jesus!

You’re not judging me harshly.

With compassion and total understanding
You’re helping me make it through.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things…carrying or doing other work…This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”
(Numbers 4:26-28)

Somebody had to do it, Jesus.

The Gershonites were it.

My guess?

To carry all those heavy items they had to be pretty strong.

When You assign me a job
You always equip me to do it.

Be duly warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value…and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:17-18)

This answers one of my questions, Jesus:

Ignorance of Your Law is no excuse.

If I refuse to study Your Word to learn Your commands

I will pay the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo in heart pounding love:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…”
(1 Peter 2:9)

It’s awesome to hear this, Jesus!

But it’s also hard to hear.

I don’t feel worthy.
Why would You choose the likes of me?

I don’t feel like royalty.
When I look in the mirror, I see a commoner.

Who am I to function as a priest?
I’ve got my hands full with my sinning self.

But praise Your holy Name!

I don’t have to feel it
for it to be 100% true.

Pray this Lazaroo with obedient, lavish love:

“They must make restitution for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 5:16)

When I say I’m sorry for sinning against You and others, Jesus

over-the-top restitution proves I really mean it.

It also gives me added incentive

to never do it again.

Pray this Lazaroo in unbounded gratitude:

“…the priest…shall… burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord…In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest.’”
(Leviticus 5:12-13)

I’m so thankful that I don’t have to do this anymore, Jesus.

On the cross You gave Your life to become my sin offering.

I am wholly, completely, utterly forgiven!

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin. Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons…”
(Leviticus 5:6-7)

I love this about You, Jesus!

Even while punishing our sins
You compassionately remember the poor.

May I always show them
the same, loving respect.

Take warning! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He has swallowed up all her palaces and destroyed her strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation for Daughter Judah. He has laid waste his dwelling like a garden; he has destroyed his place of meeting. The Lord has made Zion forget her appointed festivals and her Sabbaths; in his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest.”
(Lamentations 2:5-6)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

But may I never persist in my sin

because I’m terrified to incur Your wrath!
