Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.”
(Galatians 3:19-21)

The law is holy, righteous and good, Jesus!

but sinner that I am

I keep falling short of Your high standard.

Thank You for Your mercy, Jesus!

and for Your atoning death in my behalf on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
(Matthew 5:3-6)

Who could make such promises – and then fulfill them, Jesus –

to the poor in spirit, those who mourn,
the meek, the hungry and thirsty?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with confidence:

“…the Lord is faithful…”
(2 Thessalonians 3:3)

I love this about You, Jesus!

No one is as faithful as You.

We make promises to one another with every intent to keep them.

But when circumstances change
our promises can fly out the window.

No so with You!

You’re All-Powerful.
You control all circumstances.

Because You see the future
nothing takes You by surprise.

The moment You make a promise

You know when, how and where You will keep it.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…I will give you…both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”
(1 Kings 3:13-14)

In spite of Your amazing promises to him

Solomon strayed, Jesus.

How is that even possible?

I guess the same way I stray
in spite of all Your amazing promises to me.

Please rise up within me
to break this terrible cycle!

Pray this Lazaroo with compassion:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims!”
(Nahum 3:1)

That’s what got to You the most, wasn’t it, Jesus?

The victims.

Those who lost their lives due to the monstrous cruelty embedded in Nineveh’s culture.

Those who lost loved ones, grieving without relief.
Broken promises, broken homes, broken lives.

It was all about the victims then

it’s all about the victims now.

You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever.

Our suffering
continues to break Your heart!

Pray this Lazaroo with a fervent heart:

“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.”
(Joel 2:23)

Yes, You Are, Jesus!

You always keep Your promises.
You gave Your life for me on the cross

I, on the other hand, haven’t always been faithful to You.

It hurts me to admit that.
I know it hurts You even more.

Well, that’s got to change.

Not sometime in the future.

Starting now.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.”
(Proverbs 4:10-12)

These were Your words through King David to his son, the future King Solomon.

But they’re also Your words to me, Jesus.

You call me to walk in the way of wisdom

to make these promises come true in my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar.”
(Romans 3:1-4)

You made some promises to Abraham, Moses and David, Jesus.

You intend to keep them.

You’ve made promises to me, too

all of which You will fulfill.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered reflection:

“…the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30)

So much for the name-it-and-claim-it crowd, Jesus.

I can’t stand on every promise You’ve ever made
if I’m not standing faithfully with You.

May I honor you, my Savior

with everything I think, say and do!

Pray this Lazaroo with fear and trembling:

“May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”
(2 Samuel 3:9-10)

If Abner knew all of that, Jesus

then why didn’t he do it to begin with?
A lot of people died because he didn’t.

How many will suffer because I don’t do

what I already know I should?
