Pray this Lazaroo with immediate correction:

“All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not.”
(Joshua 5:4-5)

Why do I put off doing the right thing, Jesus?

Why don’t I instantly obey?

It’s a spirit of rebellion, isn’t it?

Disguising my disobedience behind:

“Yes, I’m going to do it…but not right now.”

Away with that ugly sin, LORD!

This very moment: I choose You!

Pray this Lazaroo with keen anticipation:

“The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition.”
(Ezra 4:18-19)

They found what they looked for, Jesus.

If I’m looking for something bad in someone

I’ll probably find it.

If I’m looking for something good in the same person

there it will be.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:27)

This is eye-opening, Jesus!

You don’t want me to waste Your time
trying to force people to pay attention to You.

I need to tell them about You as clearly and accurately as I can

then leave the results to You.

If they listen, they’re in!

If they refuse
they excluded themselves.

Pray this Lazaroo in utterly vulnerable trust:

“We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’”
(Hebrews 3:14-15)

I’m holding firmly to my original conviction about You, Jesus

because You’re holding firmly to me.

I do not share in You because I’m holding on.

I hold on because – by grace alone –

You’ve chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo with an open, teachable heart:

“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.”
(1 Timothy 2:11)

I couldn’t agree more, Jesus.

That’s how a man should learn Your Word too.

I’m sure You don’t mean it’s okay for men to learn in noisy rebellion!

Nobody can learn like that.

Clearly, Paul was referring to disruptive behavior in these congregations.

The only way to truly learn Your Word

is for me to keep my mouth shut
while I listen closely

and totally surrender my will
to Yours.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“I will give it to them…”
(Jeremiah 1:39)

You promised to give Your people the land of Canaan, Jesus.

You were as good as Your Word.

Of course, it was the children of those who left Egypt who got to enter the Promised Land.

Those who rebelled against You in the desert missed it.

Out of the two million or so adults who began that journey

exactly two completed it.

I beg You:
Finish what You started in me!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.”
(Jonah 2:8)

Well, that’s just not an option for me, Jesus.

I need Your grace!

I don’t want what I deserve.

I know what I’ve “earned”
with my sin, shortcomings, rebellion, disobedience.

I’m doing my best to turn it around.
I’m giving it all I’ve got.

But what I’ve got
isn’t enough.

I still – inexcusably – mess up.

Which is why I so desperately
need Your grace.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…and through him to reconcile to himself all…things in heaven…”
(Colossians 1:20)

Huge task, Jesus…

though not as big as it once was.

There was that war in heaven where – along with Satan – You had to expel one-third of Your angels

sending them to earth.

Obviously, You’ve given them the gift of free will, too.

At times, though, it becomes a curse, doesn’t it?
when I use it to rebel against You.

When I do, LORD…

Please.
Quickly.

Reconcile me.
