Pray this Lazaroo in heart-melting gratitude:

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved…”
(2 Timothy 2:15)

That’s what I long for, Jesus!

with all my heart.

But how?

Seriously, how?

You know me.
You know what a mess I am.

If You wanted to

You could remind me of every sin I’ve ever committed.
What are they, now? In the billions?

But wait a minute!

Because I’ve put my faith in You
You’ve erased all my sins from Your record.

Wow.
That’s how.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines.”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

All I need to succeed, Jesus

is for You to speak a word in my behalf.

All I need to fail

is for You to speak one word against me.

So the most important task of my life

is to discover how to have You speak for me!

which You do for all

who put our faith
in what You did for us
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine. I am the Lord.’”
(Numbers 3:44-45)

How incredibly special it was to be a Levite, Jesus!

That had to make them feel so close to You –
because they belonged to You.

Though not a Levite, I’ve put my faith in You –

which means lock, stock and barrel:

I’m Yours!

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.”
(Galatians 2:16)

I keep forgetting this, Jesus!

Should I obey You?
Absolutely!

But You don’t want me living in fear when I sin

as though my place in heaven with You is in jeopardy.

Do I believe in You with all my heart?

Yes!!!

Then…

I’m in.

Pray this Lazaroo in all-out passion:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law…”
(Galatians 2:16)

You want me to try hard to please You, Jesus!

To try really, really hard
to give it my all.

But that’s not what saves me, is it?

It’s faith. Only faith.

Because as hard as I try

I fall short.

And sometimes – God forgive me!

I don’t try very hard at all.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you surround [the righteous] with your favor as with a shield.”
(Psalms 5:12)

What a promise, Jesus! What incredible assurance!

If only I were righteous.

I don’t have to tell You: I’m a sinner.

You’re the one who’s righteous.
I’m the one who’s not.

Except…

because I put all my faith and trust and hope in You
and because You’ve forgiven every sin I’ve ever committed…

am I now standing –

not in my own righteousness –

but in Yours?

Oh, hallelujah!
